The perfect companion for my Canon MX860

Over the years I've tried almost every brand of X ink to save a few bucks. I managed to save a few bucks, but I definitely spent money on it. Canon ink works far better than any other brand I've tried without exception. Mark X clogged the printheads, resulting in excessive cleaning, and in one instance the printer stopped printing. I hate throwing away a good printer because of bad ink so I went with Canon ink no matter the price. This time the package contained 50 sheets of PP-201 as a gift. PP-201 is a 6" x 4" 40# (I guess the weight) glossy paper that's perfect for all those 6 x 4 pictures we all print so often. That is, besides me. I almost never print at this size, but I will find a use for it. The inclusion of PP-201 is not critical at all. The only consideration is having an ink that will print what I want. Canon and its ink cartridges do exactly that. My complaints, as I said, relate to the cost per page and the fact that the printer (MX860) requires each cartridge to be filled with ink or it will not print. I can't replace yellow with blue, black, or yellow. Does not matter. I get consistent and easy results. These factors alone make the deal.
