lens sold thanks Phil.
just a really nice large Think Tank bag left, easily a match for Billingham in my opinion. make an offer but not silly, cost £138 about 6-7 months ago

Bill, i get my genuine epson inks from this company and have not found any one cheaper on genuine ones, they used to be local but have moved to Yorkshire but with free postage the price has not altered.
i checked the canon price for genuine cartridges for your sons printer and they are :- c/m/y triple pack £28.78, high volume black £11.50

would there not be different absortion rates into the paper and drying times not using the recommended ink. if you are doing A3+ prints you need the ink as dry as possible before it hits the rollers otherwise you are in a mess i would imagine.
i have an Epson R1800 and use the pigment inks never had a problem with them and i don,t do a lot of printing. i do run a test sheet through every week just to keep nozzles free.

crooked imaging have them listed at just over £15

if you can find one Kood do one that fits flush to lens mounting face on body to allow infinity focus and has the flange to actuate the pin on lens base
plus key to remove from camera. mine has never been a problem

no, but i was last wednesday and the weather was great
