I'm using the ink from InkJetGoodies (http://www.inkjetgoodies.com). I believe that they only sell to the US. I have read that the WeInk (http://www.weink.com) ink is nearly identical and they might ship farther, but their customer service gets lousy reviews on dpreview.com. I've never had a clog with IJG ink. The color gamut was compared to the original Canon ink in this message: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1003&message=5955390 I've read that IJG ink fades a little more quickly in testing. I have only been using it for 9 months and so far I haven't had any problems with fading. I mostly print on Ilford Galerie Pearl and most of my prints are hung in my office without frames. alex
