thanks for that, a question...when it is stated " Ink Volume: Black - 2400 Pages, Colour - 1800 Pages" is that assuming a certain percentage of the page is being printed on in that color?
IE if i print a page with a single line of color across the top it isnt the same as a single page covered...
I havent sent it back yet...
swings and roundabouts for what?
Heavy Cardstock printing is an absolute must. I work with an animal tracking/trapping and rescue group and we print someimes hundereds of flyers on (110lb) cardstock.( that is donated to us by a local organization) i/we dont have a...
I purchased a Maxify MB2720>
Initial thoughts, it much bigger than i expected( not sure what i expected) but that is neiother here nor there.
It was a PITA to setup wirelessly, took and hour of speaking with CS to finally get it to work by instaling the printer manually. Camr to find out the...
ah yes, i am going to lok at finding a lighter weight cardstock, but its still going to be in the 55lb range id guess....still an issue.
Double sided , asdie, anymanufcaturers that can handle cardstock"normally"?
Ok good to know about double sided cardstock, will just have to print on side , flip and print from tray.
Maybe i should have said best value rather than economical, since the double sided cardstock printing is out, ill re take a look at the Maxify series.
Thanks for the reply, it seems my calculation is off on LB, it is actually 110lb cardstock that is used, i need to find a machine that will handle printing that weight double sided.
...and be refillable, obviously cost will increase so that variable is out, still looking for as economical as...
Edit, to avoid redundancy this is being adressed here:

I have a set of refillable Cartridges for a Brother MFC-J4700W that have worked without issue, chips reset automatically when i refill them.
yesterday the black indicated low. refilled , replaced, pressed "1" to indicate that the cart had been replaced and got the Cannot detect error. Tried...
Thank you all for the links and information.
Still curious about the type of ink...dye or pigment based, i have quite a bit of dye based ink left over form refilling and old cannon mp530 along with some pigment based black. not sure if i should try to use it as it is several years old.
have had an MFC-J470D for some time, replacement ink is cheap for the most part but id like to start refilling as it is even cheaper.
I have researched a few methods and the simplest ive seen is this:( dont want the super long cartridges)

After many years of refilling and resetting the cartridges on an old Canon MP530 it finally gave up the ghost today, it worked fine one minute and then was giving me a check cartridge U052 error. i changed out the head with another that i had, same error cleaned everything, so on..
Anyway time...
so its pigment based, presumming then that any pigment based ink will work( quality not withstanding, obviously looking for good quality), thanks for the link..pints is a lot for her needs, but even so, reasonable price relative to the cost of OEM cartridges
i am familiar with alibaba and alibaba express and have made purchases before, the question is, is there a TYPE of ink that i need/should use..
I.e
Pigment based, or dye based..anything else i should consider when choosing an ink?
After speaking with Mom about her printing needs i have determined that the XP 600 is really way more printer than she needs. After looking at the Epson site, the XP-200 fits the bill and will likely be the choice.
Ive been able to find a set of ARC chipped cartridges for 12.98( alibaba.com) but...
so lets clarify, IF photo printing isnt a necessity...is have a 5(or6) cartridge machine necessary?
WOULD a 4 cartridge suffice ?
What would be model numbers of those to consider( AIO)
