Canon PIXMA E400 Colour Multifunction Inkjet Printer

This is a great printer/scanner for the sale price as it comes with an extra black on top of the color/black carts. From my tests it prints like 100 color prints per cart and 200 bw prints with the black cart. Now refilling the carts need tact as the printer makes a big fuzz even when the carts are half full about buying new carts. Refilling is done easier by opening the top cover on the carts using a small flat screwdriver or knife as you can see the sponge and how much ink is left. 2cc of color is enough to fill it and more will over flow. 5cc of bw seems to be enough and you have to use a needle to stick it in until it almost reaches the bottom and once air bubbles start showing up its time to stop so it dont over flow. You have to press the stop button on the printer for longer than 5 seconds for the printing to continue from this condition of low ink levels even though there is still half left and once it thinks its empty it will try to stop you from printing any more. But keep going.. The scanner does 300-1200dpi scans and you can download the regular cannon printer/scanner utility which has a lot of functions. Over all it is cheaper to use this than a DTP shop which charges rs5 for bw and rs20 for color prints as even using new ink carts the cost is under rs2 for bw and rs10 for color prints.
