TS 6100 - concerning ink consumption

[vascobmcastro]

Hi,

I have recently purchased a pixma TS6100 and unfortunately the ink consumption levels are rather high. I'm wondering if you could help me on this. Right now this printer and canon starts feeling like a scam...

During the past month I have only been printing b6w documents and selecting the black and white option from my mac in the printer dialogue. I have printed around 100 (max 200) pages and the first cartridge that needs to be changed is one of the colour ones... All other colour ones are below the blacks. How's that possible and how to fix that?

The other aspect is the very high consumption level. For some reason canon is not allowing me to select a draft option when printing - how's that possible and how to override that so less ink is used?

I have been in contact with technical support in Sweden and unfortunately they send odd explanations on how to turn off a printer (among others) but don't seem interested at all in solving the issue with high ink consumption...

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best,

Vasco

Hi Porcha,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately customer support in Sweden isn't very helpful... in fact it feels to me that canon has no interest in making sure that people save ink - rather the opposite. Any help, even from USA 🙂 would be very appreciated. Thank you!
