The Canon MP258 is designed to combine several machines into one compact unit.
Ink tanks are attractive because of its lower ink cost, but ink cartridges do have its own advantages.
Whether or not those advantages provide enough reasons to buy the printer depends on consumers.

You just need to slot the cartridge into the printer.
The pigment ink is stored in an individual cartridge.
The other three are stored together in one cartridge where each color is kept in a separate chamber.

The problem is the ink cartridge that stores three colors.
Thats a waste of money.
Its name suggests that it is there to absorb ink, but which ink?

Every cleaning cycle leave behind the ink that has been used in the process.
The ink absorber collects the ink to keep the printer clean.
After replacing it, the next thing to do is to launch Canon MP258 Resetter.
In addition to a new ink absorber, the printer also needs Canon MP258 Resetter to reset the counter.
While the interface of the tool may be a bit intimidating, it is quite easy to use.
