take the SAME exact carts (no chips) and the machines are over 2 years apart
in age from each other. So Canon does not force you to have several
different carts for several different machines --- a nice feature I think !
IMHO the Canon out prints any Epson I've ever seen (please no flames -- just
my opinion) in the color category. The carts are very easy to refill and
because of the big (relative size to the Epson) sponge in the cart -- no
foam issues. And I guess because of the way Canon gets the ink out of the
carts there is no vacuum needed.  To me it looks gravity fed but I'm sure
its some other high tech solution. I have had the BJC 8200 for over 2 years
and never (never) any clogs. I have been waiting for any B&W inkset to come
out for the Canon units. I'd gladly start using them ASAP. You get them made
and I'll start buying them. One other thing -- I have never seen any banding
at all.
