Well, here what I did about expensive color ink catriges for Canon BJC620. I gave the sample of the each S/M/Y ink to my mom chemical engineer. She analysed each sample on gas chromatograph and deducted chemical formula for the each sample. Now I'm brewing these color inks at home without paying any money.
I wonder what the copyright terrorists have to say about that..

Well c'mon then. Tell us the formula! It's cheaper to but a new printer than replace the black and colour cartridges in my Lexmark here in Spain. Steve.
Me? You should ask Alex me thinks, I'v decided some time ago that paying a onetime bundle for a really good Postscript Laserjet printer is way better for my nerves when I need to have a decent output for an official letter e.g. The times I needed to run off to an office-supply store to get a new cartridge, because the one that I purchased just weeks before started mis-behaving already, were definitely *not* worth the cheapness of the Canon BJC-4200 I once used. Unless you _need_ the color stuff you really should have a good hard look at a soho Laserjet printer, where the last of 4000..6000 pages you get out of a toner-cartridge looks just as good as the first. The formula for the ink probably won't help a lot anyway, as the ingredients are most likely *not* COTS drugstore products, you'll need to rob a chemical plant.
