Ink Cartridge for Canon iX7000
The printer is great, but getting ink cartridges for it is a complete nightmare. Even Canon's own website quotes a mimimum of 10 days and most suppliers don't even stock them. When asked Canon said "Canon doers not control stock at retailers, and if local retailers have opted not to stock this item, we do not have any control over this."
Recommend - don't buy unless you only want to print a couple of times!
