Office Depot, Office Max, etc. I’ve never bought any unknown brands from any online marketplaces such as Amazon.

I should say I mostly do generic household printing, but I did use the store brands for both wedding and funeral pamphlets (100-200 prints) and they were just fine.

You could always try it just once and see how it works for you.

Edited to add: Not sure if makes a difference but my Canons have always been ones with individual color tanks.
