Jet black ink! Easy to change, great on documents and pictures

I've been around long enough to use many of the better color photo printers both past and present.In the past ,HP's PhotoSmart line was hard to beat. That's been changed by CANON with their PIXMA line of inkjet printers and their AWESOME line of printer inks.Canon's black ink possibly has the best color density & gradient levels currently available(my opinion,of course!) from ANY MANUFACTURER..BAR NONE !! Canon Black 251 not only has great coverage,but the XL version also provides almost twice the pages printed than Canon's standard 251 Black cartridge ...AND at a MUCH LOWER COST THAN YOU WOULD EXPECT. I found the cost of the HIGH YIELD 251XL Black cartridge was about $23 compared to the 251 Black standard cartridge @ about $14-$15. To me,penny pincher that I am, it's a NO BRAINER to get approximately 600 total pages printed for about $23 (XL version) compared to about 300 pages printed for $14-$15 (the standard 251 BLACK cartridge). I'm sure that you'll agree about the ink's quality. NOT TO MENTION THE EXTRA VALUE YOU WILL FIND FROM THE 251XL CARTRIDGE!! Like the "old man" said..."TRY IT... YOU'LL LIKE IT"(at least as much as I have..again,my opinion) !!! foolishfotoshooter

Best buy has great pricing on ink. The sales rep did caution me to only use the XL if I actually do print a lot in Black, otherwise, the ink will dry out from non-use. I like that he wasn't just trying to sell me on something, but cared about my usage. I have been quite happy with the Canon Pixma printer and the associated ink.

performs as expected and ease of installation was great

Great product, I needed it for my printer. It worked great

Have you ever been stopped when trying to print a black and white document because your ($60 - $90) "Tri-Color" cartridge had one (or more) of its "wells" run dry? I was just sick and tired of this after dealing with expensive "Tri-Color" cartridge headaches for more than a decade. When I first shopped for new printers last year I found that several brands now utilize 4 (or more) separate ink cartidges for "full-color" printing. I bought the Canon PIXMA MG 5420 and have been VERY HAPPY with ALL of its features and capabilities! AND BEST OF ALL ... The individual color ink cartridges are 20 to 30% of the price of a "Tri-Color" or "XL" Black cartridge!!! ... And, So far, I've only had to replace these (3 out of 5 of the NON-XL) cartridges once(!) entering my second year of ownership of my PIXMA 3-in-1 printer. Yeah, I don't print more than a couple of (to no more than a dozen) pages a week, but at least I haven't had to replace ANY cartridges that just plain WENT DRY sitting in an inactive printer!

I only use Canon ink for my Canon printer. It lasts a long time and the price is good. Because I use their ink I haven't had any problems with my printer. I tried to use other inks before and ended up having to replace my printers. I will continue to buy.

If you have a printer that needs this ink, but it doesn't have any ink in it, and you want to print pictures of things other than snow, whitewashed walls, drastic overexposures, or entirely lacunose poetry you'll definitely want to pick up this product first!

Works well. The blacks are very black. Last a long time aswell.

Work great on canon printer for copy and color very good

Always a good product that you can rely on. I can recycle the cartridges at Best Buy.
