Many appreciate the cartridges' compatibility with their printers and their availability in stock. However, some customers express a desire for larger cartridge sizes and question the value due to the standard capacity.

    Excellent printer ink, though expensive.

    The printer ink for my wireless Canon printer has worked well over the past year. It is easy to install in the printer. The only negative would be the high price for the cartridges. As I don't use the printer often, the price is not a prohibitive issue though.

    I seem to have a big supply of the big black tanks, but use up the other colors quickly. This is a great solution to that problem. Glad that Canon sells packs like this.

    This ink is wonderful. It sure is nice to only change the color you use the most instead of the whole cartridge. The colors are sharp and last a long time depending of course on how often you use them. Would not own anything other than a Canon printer.

    My help to select this printer was right on. The Canon Printer works great. The ink that goes with this printer is simple to replace also.

    Good quality cartridges

    These are good quality cartridges and this is the second time I am purchasing them. Also, this being a standard cartridge in terms of the volume of ink, they last for reasonable amount of time compared to the XL version of the ink which lasts even longer. Reason for 4 stars is because the cost of the cartridge is actually more than the printer itself.

    Works well with Canon printers for photos. Usually get about 50-70 8x10 pictures per set of mag/c/y colors. Black lasts for about 200 pictures.

    This ink always delivers the kind of copies that I desire. It has never smeared on the pages, and seems to last a fairly long time before replacement is required, unlike some off brands. Some colors run out before others, but I keep my supply on hand, so no problems.

    I had thought that somehow, probably related to a credit card change, I was no longer on the ink replacement program. However, this week I received notice of an oncoming delivery, and it has arrived. This program is very helpful for me.

    I enjoy ordering ink from Best Buy and having them ship it to me for free. The service is very quick. My local Best Buy closed so online ordering was simple. This amount of ink lasts me awhile since I don't print as much as I used to.

    This is good ink. The price is a bit steep but the ink is good. The only thing I would suggest if a person uses a lot of ink, it to purchase the XL or XXL cartridges of 281 colors.

    Fits into printer as expected. Ink runs dry after 10 sheets of paper but for the price can't complain other than the guy at register he always has a hick up. Some excuse as to why things aren't working right.
