Hi Kip,
Thanks for your informative post! Does the above mean you use the color
cartridges for B/W printing? Or do you use only the black one? Anyway,
good to hear there are alternatives for the Canon inks, here (in the
Netherlands) also, but didn't know about refillable cartridges for this
printer (S900 - that I'm planning to buy - and S9000 use the same)

Ditto.
