Is it worth buying Canon ink for my printer?

[bif]

I just bought a new printer and have used up the ink that came with it. The authentic Canon ink is twice as expensive as knockoff ink. Is there any advantage to using Canon ink?

1. I've found off brand or reconditioned inks are unpredictable - can have uniformity issues

2. I have had no problem with store brands such as

Office Depot, Office Max, etc. I’ve never bought any unknown brands from any online marketplaces such as Amazon.

I should say I mostly do generic household printing, but I did use the store brands for both wedding and funeral pamphlets (100-200 prints) and they were just fine.

You could always try it just once and see how it works for you.

Edited to add: Not sure if makes a difference but my Canons have always been ones with individual color tanks.

3. The Canon I have works fine with other ink. It is 2 yrs old and gets used. I get messages when a color is low

but I can't change it until it runs out. It is the best printer I have had since the old lb&w ones.
