Very good and helpful that you posted the link. There are some good deals there, especially if you need the paper they are offering.
However, I always check the Canon direct prices against the same offerings at:
B&Hphoto and
Amazon
Nine times out of ten, I end up buying ink from B&H. It usually comes down to shipping cost. Occasionally, Amazon will offer a better deal, but you have to wade through their checkout screens to actually see the final delivered price. I've never seen Canon direct price under the other two.
I only buy genuine Canon ink in original packaging. From experience, I would never buy knock-off inks again.... ever. Messy! And, they screw up your printer.
In all fairness, I don't do much "at home" printing anymore, except for multi-purpose printers at home and gallery. Ink and paper is a racket. For retail sale, I do a fair volume of small, medium and large prints. I send the files to Meridian Pro. They do a great job of color match. And, their prices beat anything I can do at home and I receive my prints in about 3 business days. (I used to use Shutterfly, but Meridian beats them in quality and print size selection.)
