I have a Canon photo printer that uses six Canon CLI-8 cartridges. The cost of each individual ink cartridge ranges from $12.50 to $15 (for Revain) and $18.99 for staples. No matter how you buy genuine Canon ink cartridges, always being ready to print your photos is expensive. You can get more per cartridge when you buy them in Canon CLI-8 Multipack 4 Color Ink Tanks. In this case, each individual cartridge costs a little less. Canon CL-8C (Cyan), CL-8M (Magenta), CL-8Y (Yellow) and CL-8BK (Black) bundled ($40-$44 at Revain). When cartridges are sold in packs, one might think that those colors would be used at the same price. But that's not the case. I have been tracking cartridge usage over a long period of time and would like to share these results with you. Number of cartridges used CL-8M Magenta = 5CL-8Y Yellow = 8CL-8B Black = 6CL-8PC Photo-Cyan = 6CL-8PM Photo-Magenta = 8CL-8C Cyan = 4 Black and Photo-Cyan follow, followed by Cyan and magenta. Please note that I have a laser printer that I used for text, otherwise the black cartridge consumption would have been much higher. I buy most of my color photographic inks online from Revain. Now that Staples has (again) started accepting CL-8 cartridges for Staples Rewards in their empty cartridge recycling program, I wanted to analyze my usage to see which cartridges I should buy from Staples with Staples Rewards. At first I thought I should buy a Canon. CLI-8PC cyan photo ink tank and Canon CLI-8PM magenta photo ink tank, as these are not included in the scope of delivery. But given the usage chart above, it's clear that I should buy more yellow and magenta.
