Canon - 270 XL/CLI-271 5-Pack Special Edition Ink Cartridges - Black/Cyan/Magenta/Yellow

Good product that was a perfect match for my newest Canon printer. The product packaging was easy to open, and good quality to prevent any damage to the ink cartridges. All very well labeled for accurate installation, and the installation was quite easy. Thanks, Canon!! I do question the box labeling a bit, as the XL size cartridge indicated with a big red arrow does not apply to all enclosed, and that was the purpose of the online research at Best Buy site, which also indicated a price lower than the retail store . . . but the store said they could not match price since I had a recycled cartridge discount. Oh, really? The instructions on the receipt walked the team member at the register how to do it with ease. Same thing happened on last purchase, due to few being trained on how to handle the recycle plan that they encourage. Yes, I would easily recommend the product to others. I highly recommend Canon as a whole.

I ordered what I thought was a larger black cartridge along with the other required colors. I assumed I had everything that I needed to refill the printer and stop the error message. However, I was missing a grey cartridge that I did not know was needed since I just ordered the ink number that went with my printer. I am still not sure how I get that one, but I have been using it without the grey and just ignore/override the error message. Still a good value.

I am a fan of canon printers, but I am disappointed that they, as do the other printer manufacturers make so many different style cartridges that you cannot use "left over" cartridges once your old printer "bites the dust" with a newly purchased printer from the same manufacturer. Any remaining cartridge becomes a waste of money and becomes non-Eco friendly. Printer manufactures should consider the "green" benefit of providing customers a trade-in opportunity for print cartridges customers can no longer use for cartridges that will fit their newly purchased printer.

No matter what brand you buy, inkjet printer ink is always very expensive, so you have to try to find the best deal you can get. It usually makes sense to buy a package like this, as opposed to buying individual cartridges. This is definitely true with this ink. The only strange thing is that they don't include the gray cartridge, so you're going to have to buy that one separately. The cartridges are easy to install, and Canon does a good job of displaying the levels and warning you when they are getting low. But they're still too expensive.

The Cannon printer is excellent and the ink cartridge seems to last quite a while, but I was surprised when I came to buy the refill pack for my Granddaughter that I did not get an automatic percentage off my purchase. I bought this at Best Buy because when checking them out, the clerk helping me to decide mentioned that if I had my sales receipt, any time in the future when I bought refills, I would get a percentage off the purchase. This did not happen and nobody seemed to know anything about this.

I would like to leave my review at that but...a change of printer meant a change of ink cartridge despite staying with the same brand. Gone are the ones I had bought online. All I can say is that ink is ink and these cartridges are expensive. They cost more than the printer! There is no need to pay through the nose like I did for these. Forget the name and search elsewhere. Ok why 4 stars? They didn't slop all over the place as some have done. That's about it. Ink is ink.

More economical to purchase all 4 ink colors for my Canon Pixma Printer. Too expensive to purchase one color at a time and then you run the risk of not finding the color you need to replace. The only other color I need to purchase is the Gray XL as I print quite a few photos and the gray tweeks and brightens my photos. Would like to see a slightly lower cost as it costs $100 plus to replace the ink. Great product and I trust the Canon name and brand. Very reliable.

The ink works great in the printer. The only problem I had was when I brought it straight home from the store and pulled the tabs off the colored cartridges to insert them in to the printer, the ink leaked all over my hands. The black one didn't need to be replaced for a couple more days and it did not leak when replaced, I believe because it had a chance to settle.
