I made a mistake of loading the paper the wrong way (twice mind you), which caused the ink to bubble

Either way, the XL color tanks will provide about 260 prints

the way the cartridge holds and feeds the paper also seems to be an issue, as I have experienced several jams in my short time using it

After getting stuck several times trying to use the way too skimpy instruction sheet that is included in the box, we searched for and downloaded the real user manual from the Canon website

While that is a good way to protect yourself, it is certainly not standard

This seems a devious way to hook you on useful capabilities, only to take them away if you later go for lower-cost ink

I am an IT admin for a medium-sized company, with 20 years of experience, so I am not exactly stumbling my way through this.

I had purchased Canon products (camera and printers) and for most part they work as per the specs, though the user interface is not exactly friendly
