I've used Canon ink cartridges in my MG6250 since new, but now it's out of warranty I'm going to have a look at saving some cash by using compatible cartridges.
Anyone able to recommend a brand and/or supplier?
Can't say I have wide experience, but I've used
Last time I used a canon inkjet I found the carts lasted years, just kept refilling them.

Canon have used both cartridges that contain a print head, which can generally be refilled, and simple ink tanks, for which third party manufactured compatible replacement cartridges are commonly available.

The problem with some of these Canon printers like the poxy MG6150 one we've got is that the carts are TOO SMALL !, they hardly hold any ink and therefore don't last the proverbial 5 minutes.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll check them out.
