It could be that you are using the colours at roughly the same rate. I've now for the first time run into a situation where my colours are _not_ evenly matched but that's only because we've printed the _same_ image many (50+) times--but, then again, previously I wasn't a heavy colour user (I've been converted by a cheap supply of colour inks). PS I didn't think the Mac OS X drivers for the Canon printers tracked ink.
