Hi,

I have a Canon inkjet printer with series 8 cartridges. I do a lot of
printing, so I need a more economical solution. Are Professional Epson more
economical on the ink? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

With that caveat you may want to consider a CIS unit for your printer if it
is available.

If you want a wide format printer that uses pigment ink and is able to
get better ink mileage then look at the Epson 3800. The printer will
print a 16x20 and has super sized ink tanks. Each tank costs over $50
but is meant for heavy semi pro use.

You never want to use aftermarket ink when you print photos. You do not
want fading and you do want great color and quality.

Epsons consume a good deal more ink than Canons do. Your best solution will
be compatible tanks, recycled tanks or refilling yourself.

Also consider that if you're printing mostly documents, or text and
graphics, that a monochrome laser will be a whole lot cheaper to operate.

Also, be aware that the Canons will produce VERY good quality using the
"fast" (draft) mode and use a lot less ink.
