Well on my printer, it says it's Innobella and Brother. Says for best results, use BROTHER, LC101 Standard Yield Ink Series or LC103 High Yield Ink Series. So based on that description, what is the step I should take? Also, do you use programs such as Photoshop or Power point so you can create your own size? Not all printers will let you do that unless you do it through a special program I'm assuming. |

OEM inks. That is, if you're using a Canon printer, use Canon inks, not the shitty refills or bargain ink carts on eBay, amazon, etc. |

Used refill kits and such a few times, and while they did get a fair number of prints, they also screwed up the print head. Once a print head goes, you're pretty much done unless you can get a new print head for cheap (or can salvage the messed up one, which is rare). |

Also, I always buy the XL ink cartridges. They cost about 50% more, but they last more than twice as long. |

I dunno man, I just got an EPSON and I HAVE to use bootleg inks. The official inks cost about $50 for color and black standard size inks and they literally last for 10-12 covers. I can order 2 of each colors and 4 blacks, XL size, for like $15. The quality is slightly lower, but only slightly, and I literally can not afford that slight difference with my meager salary. |
