Re: PCWorks: Ink Jet printer suggestion?

[Keith Thompson]

I am using a Canon i860 for just that reason. It has individual tanks 
for 3 colors plus 2 black.  I have already refilled the three colors and 
they worked just fine.  The photo colors are almost as good as an Epson 
that I compared with in the store.  (Course, they used super paper on 
the Epson and just good glossy photo paper on the Canon which makes a 
big difference.).  I had an old Epson that I really liked and found that 
I could get better photos from a third party ink than the ink that was 
specified for that printer.  I also had a Lexmark and couldn't afford 
the ink, even with refilling.  It was like a funnel that you just 
coupled the bottle of ink to and turn it on. 

I chose the i860 for a compromise between cost and performance.  I feel 
that the performance by far exceeded what I was expecting.  Its fast, 
good photos and has the aux. fitting to directly handle 4x6 paper.

Can anyone suggest a decent printer that does NOT use cartridges with built in

I have an Epson and a Brother(at the shop) and both use some type of device on the 
cartridge that prevents
me from using the printer, even though I can plainly see plenty of ink in the Brother 
cartridges.
Thank you.
