Yes, using aftermarket or refilled ink cartridges is a common cause of the E5 error. Canon printers are designed to work optimally with genuine Canon ink. While aftermarket cartridges may seem cheaper, they can sometimes be incompatible or not function correctly, leading to error messages. Consider trying genuine Canon cartridges to rule out this possibility.
