Does this printer come with ink to start with or should that be ordered when printer is ordered?

I think it came with low-capacity cartridges, you'll want to order full-sized replacements with the printer because the ones it ships with don't last long. (I'm pretty sure...got the printer a long time ago and memory is a bit dim on this)

Yes it does come with starter cartridges if you do a lot of printing on the road , probably good idea to have black cartridge which is what I do

The printer ships with ink cartridges, but since you always need to have replacement cartridges on hand you might as well order them right away.

It comes with ink but the cartridges are supposed to contain just enough ink to setup the printer. However so far I have printed out about six 12 inch x 12 inch heavily colored t-shirt transfer prints and still have ink left. Because the spec said setup ink tanks, I ordered a full set of spares along with the printer. I think that printer manufacturers sell the printers for under cost and then make all their money on selling ink. By the time you replace the tanks twice on many printers, you will have spent more money on ink than on the printer. Just the same, I think it is an outrage not to include a full set of tanks with a new printer. It comes with ink but the cartridges are supposed to contain just enough ink to setup the printer.

The printer comes with a full set of ink, all 8 colors, so you can use it when you get it after you set it up.

I don't believe so Andrew but I've been printing casually for about two weeks and I have not run out of ink. That being said I did order extra ink when I purchased this printer and although it is aftermarket ink I have not had to use it yet. If I had to estimate how much I've printed it would be about twenty pages so I'm really not a good gauge on how much ink came with the printer. So my advice would be to purchase replacement ink when you buy this printer whether it be Cannon or generic just do it.

Yes, like most printers it comes with a small amount of ink. It'll run out fast and you'll need to buy more pretty quick, but that's very often the case with printers.

Yes, the printer does come with ink! There are also some very economical inks available on Amazon.com for this printer. I bought some replacement ink here that wasn't "brand name" as recommened, but it works great and there's more for your money.

The previous answer is slightly incorrect. Like most printers this one comes with starter ink cartridges. Designed to let you get some use out of the printer but then (depending on your use), need to buy more soon. Blessings, John 20:29

If you order a new unit, yes the cartridge comes with the printer, but once the cartridge runs out, you can't get a replacement cartridge.

The printer comes withe initial ink . The prnter will tell you when each needs replacing. Warn you they are about $16 each.

Yes. Loaded with black ink and ready to go out of the box. I think it also came with an empty ink pad in case you want to use another ink color. I have been using mine for about 2 years and have yet to had to re-ink it.

I recommend you go with what the printer/copier recommends; then order that product from Amazon. That was I did. I looked at what came with the printer, then order the ink/cartridge from Amazon.

If I understand the question - This printer comes loaded with ink cartridges. Although, the cartridges are fairly low capacity. Enough to get you by for awhile. I hope this answers your question.

A "starter" cartridge comes with the printer, so you are ready to go when you get it. I have printed 300 pages so far and the printer has 25% of the toner left in that starter cartridge, less than what a lot of folks claimed it might print.

The printer comes with a coloured ink cartridge, but it doesn't last for long. The black was the first to run, so a new cartridge had to be bought.

Yes, it comes with everything you need to start printing. And, it is a toner cartridge, not ink cartridge. I'm sure you ask because a new toner cartridge is half the cost of this printer......Great printer, by the way, we ended up getting four here at work.

if you buy a new one you will get the ink cartage. if you buy a refurbished model, you will not recev' the ink cartage. if you are looking for a printer, i will sell you a printer that was a double order to me, all i ask is that you pay me the purchase price that i payed, which will be $75. i will also include the ink cartage in the printer. the only thing you will need is the usb cable.
