In that thread there are a couple of inks that come highly recommended. “German “Durchstich” refill method for the PGI-520/CLI-521 cartridges” on (via google) :rotfl: My eyes were opened to the possibility of refilling the original Canon cartridges, which I still had. …without messing about with hardware profiles.

I’d like to see if I can find an ink that will give me what I want… I know you can buy a calibration kit and change the printer profiles – but who’s got time for that? No. I did have a go at adjusting the photos’ colour balance to try and duplicate, but it was a bit hit or miss. The butterfly shot is a much closer call between the two, but if you look closely at the butterfly’s black body, the FotoRite ink gives a decidedly bluish cast. The blue sky on the sunflower looks an odd colour and the Canon yellow is much more vibrant.

As you can see if you look closely (click any image to enlarge it) the eagle has a bluish colour cast.
