Valuable information
By Timothy Blake Miller
I was able to disable the ink monitoring system by holding the stop button on my MP980 for about five seconds. I have done this only for the gray and only to print until I get a new cartridge. It appears by my testing that this system is re enabled by installing a new cartridge or removing and reinstalling the old one. This is explained in the online manual that came with the MP980 although it is buried. Tim

Buy this ink. Buy several. You'll need them!
By What Do You Mean I'm Out of Ink?
This ink is used in the Canon MP980. Here's what Canon doesn't tell you. While the printer has six (6!) ink cartridges, if any one of the six is completely out -- even if you are not using that one at the moment -- your printer is dead in the water. Zero, zip, nada.

And no store sells them locally! (At this time, in my area.) So if it's an emergency, you're a goner.

The following do not carry the GY221 in the store _nor_ on their websites (at the time I'm writing this): Best Buy, Costco, Office Depot, Office Max, Target, and Walmart. Staples does not carry it in the store, but it is available on their website. Amazon is your friend. And it's cheaper than Staples. But internet purchases take time to arrive.

So do yourself a favor and avoid the "dead printer syndrome" by buying several now. You'll be glad you did.

In agreement with most other reviewers
By MEB
Amazon does offer the lowest price on the Canon CLI ink cartridges. But the price for these inks, IMO, are still pretty high, especially considering the size of the cartridges. If MP980's CLI and PGI ink costs decrease in the future (hopefully real soon!), then the rating would definitely increase to 5 stars.

Thank you Amazon reviewers for all your comments. Because I thoroughly reviewed these products (online and in-store) and the associated commentaries, I now know that it's best to order these inks through Amazon (until some other seller offers lower pricing). I will also be sure to keep extra inks on hand;so I never have to experience down-time with my MP980.

I love the Canon PIXMA MP980, and knew beforehand what to expect as far as print quality and associated costs. So I have no complaints about the printer itself (other than its costly inks). But, I do think one gets what they pay for, and I do tend to go for better quality items.
Thank you Amazon and Amazon Reviewers.
