...or more specifically, for BCI-6 ink. These are the tanks without the chips, and work beautifully with the Costco glossy paper on my IP-3000 printer.
Costco no longer stocks the ink on its store shelves, but after investing a few minutes checking out the various Internet ink outlest (Amazon, SuperMediaStore, B&H, Newegg, etc.) the search narrowed down to Amazon at $33 for three colors and Costco at $30, including shipping in both instances. Newegg had a decent price for the ink but then charged a hefty price for shipping and multiple ink tanks meant a cumulative shipping price, which is just nuts.
Anyway, thought I'd post my findings. Compatible ink is far cheaper (like, $2 a tank) and I use that stuff in my other printers for daily print tasks, but for DVD jackets and disk printing I go with oem because of the superior fade properties.
