All in all we like the printer it is fast, rugged and does a fine job on color prints and text. The kit supplies you with a eyelet screw but the plastic is too tough for such a blunt instrument. Just know, if you go that route, you will need a electric drill and a small bit to penetrate the thick plastic tank. When the first printer's color tank ran down I tried a refill kit sold on Ebay for that specific printer and.to my amazement it worked perfectly. My wife uses one of them for crafts and color ink required jobs and I use the other machine for strictly text duties. So far I have p urchased 2 of them and thanks to the USB connectivity I can alternate between color tasks and black and white text jobs between the two printers. My plan was, and still is, to just purchase additonal complete iP1600 printers for $20.00 or less (minus shipping) and get around the ink problem that way. I really liked the Canon PIXMA iP3000 Photo Printer so much that I searched and found this brand new one through. It has individual ink cartridges - which is a feature I love. I will NEVER refill any cartridges again. Since the iP1600 uses only 2 ink tanks, as opposed to the 4 tanks used by the I550 I knew the ink was going to be an expensive proposition, upwards of $35.00 retail for both tanks. I probably contributed to its demise by refilling the ink cartridges and I think that they leaked and shorted the printer out. My previous printer the Canon I550 finally had the predicted print head problems and although it had worked well for a number of years I decided to chuck it and try the iP1600 instead.
Canon gives these away as promotions with the purchase of a new computer system or they can be bought separate at the sub $50.00 range.

I decided to buy this printer with the full knowledge that it was "first in breed" of a new line of disposable printers.
