Common amongst all printers is to receive a system warning on your computer that your printer is low on ink and needs a new cartridge.  When you receive this warning, despite what your computer says, do not replace the ink cartridge until you notice a real decrease in print quality.  The printer is designed to monitor the ink levels and often is incorrect about the amount of ink available.  Waiting until you notice a decrease in actual print quality will save you quite a bit of money on ink. 

Printer ink is quite expensive, but depending on the manufacturer of the printer, you can receive a better deal.  Canon printer ink , as well as ink from other well known brands such as Lexmark and HP tends to be less expensive.
