Canon MP 780

FYI

I just replaced my H P 6110 with a Canon MP 780

The initial set up and first runs have been excellent with NOT a single
problem in operating the functions I have tested so far. ( PRINT, SCAN,
COPY) I do not intend to use as a photo printer since I have a Canon i960
and that is my main photo printer.

I've had an MP780 for about a month and am extremely pleased with its
performance so far. It's easy to use and seems to be very well made.
Also, operating costs are very low since I use compatible cartridges. I
can get 5 BCI-3e cartridges for less than $10 which might make it as, or
more, cost effective than a laser printer when printing normal text
documents.

Where did you get the BCI-3e carts?

From ebay. There's quite a few vendors that sell them.

Just an FYI, the MP780 uses BCI-6 not '3'.
While they will fit and will not cause physical harm using them may result
in slight color shift in photos.

The MP780 does indeed use one BCI-3eBk cartridge for black only
printing. It also has for BCI-6 cartridges (C, M, Y and B)for printing
color pages and photos.
