Do you find that you get 36 prints, as Canon says, from one paper/ink cartridge? Out of curiosity, what have you found as far as the durability, water-resistance, and archivability of the prints?
You get exactly 36. I use these as Polaroids, so my client has something in hand to look at. I think they're pretty archival.

There are several modes my D70 can choose in. The sRGB mode is designed for optimal results with this printer, however I shoot in RGB mode because these files can be more easily manipulated in the Nikon Capture software.

I shoot in a dual Raw and JPEG format (the camera makes two files of the same image). The JPEGs are for the Canon Printer and the Raw files are for everything else.

I'm not too concerned with color and value fidelity so I don't care about how great the Canon prints look as a result of not shooting sRGB. This printer is portable and pretty fast. If I wanted better quality prints I'd use the Epson PictureMate which is much bigger and bulkier.
