PC is Photo Cyan, and although the Canon printers use PC and PM inks at about twice the rate of the other inks (IME), you get roughly 50 to 100 8x10s per inkset. The estimate has to be rough because it depends on the paper you use and the content of the pictures you print. And you can get very nice ink cartridges at tylermartin.com for $2.95 and $2.85 a pop, which makes it much less painful. I have a box full of Tyler Martin cartridges here, and will report on them in the SMP as soon as I've had more experience with them. --Mike
