Just got this printer and I'm wondering which ink would work best. I use the printer for pretty much evrything, pictures and documents. Can someone let me know if this ink would work, http://bit.ly/9fqJgH, or if I need a different kind. I appreciate any answer you have for me, Thanks!

Due to the difficult economic/employment situation in the US and my 314.159 days of unemployment, the last 42 of which were absent of any cash receipts from the state I have had to radically alter my printing techniques and cartridge refilling protocols. Fortunately, it is summer and my family's diet has been limited to the fruits & vegetables grown by the local farms or being disposed of by the large supermarkets.
To maintain my passion for creating fine art prints and to keep my sanity and spirits elevated I now prepare my own inks. I use the fine dark New England beets that cannot be recooked one more time to produce my magenta ink stock, this diluted with some Chablis gives me an excellent photo magenta. Leftover, and overcooked spinach firmly pressed and filtered produces a glorious green, perfect for my landscape panos. Next, I employ the inedible but tasty lemon rinds to prepare my prime yellow. Lavender and several other flowers being trashed by the local florist I carefully grind by hand and create a cool cyan. Again, a light dilution with some soured Chablis gives me the needed photo cyan. Finally, the collected soot from our candles (saving electric power) mixed with a little anti-freeze yields my basic black. Well, this completes my RGB-CYM-Bk inkset. Available in a dye or pigment matched ink set.
Performance is beyond my wildest dreams, bucolic landscapes have never looked so realistic. My people portraits glow with the full blush of life in the skintones. At our last photo club exhibit, members were awestruck with my prints and demanded to know what inks I used and how did I profile them. Best of all they wanted to purchase my inks with cold hard cash (or soft paper). This has been extremely successful for me and my family. I am now in a position to offer to you these same magnificent inks at moderate cost.
Please request a copy of our price list, do hurry, because summer is fading away.
Thank you Irv Weiner

Websnail: I'm very sorry but I am no longer making my own paper. The discarded cotton&linen fabrics previously processed for this purpose are now used to prepare our 'tacos' and pita bread sandwiches.
Be patient the major US finance bill was just passed this afternoon, I'm expecting a large shipment of surplus used bond paper from Washington, DC which will carefully be bleached using the collected tears of the >15M US unemployed. This recycled paper bonanza will be sold back to Wash. DC to recycle food, jobs and above all, hope to its citizens in this desperate financial state.

Irv, expand that into a novel and you'll have publishers beating down your door to publish it. I'll be the first in line to buy the $1.99 paperback version with your surplus bond paper no less!!
Seriously, you have a gift of writing, my friend.

TJ, save yourself some (a ton actually) money and refill your carts. I use ink from here:
http://stores.ebay.com/PrecisionCol...085QQ_sidZ98545621QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322
Instructions and everything you need to get started is included. That's the ink I use, but if you take the time to read up on the subject of refilling here, you'll see that there are a couple of other good ink suppliers to choose from. But that's my recommendation.
