Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the ink quality, overall performance, and ease of installation of the CLI-281 ink cartridges. 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.

    It does what it's supposed to do. But then again, it's just ink. Going with manufactur brands is more expensive but you can count on its quality.

    Being able to purchase the group of ink colors in one package provided very good value as opposed to individual ink cartridge sales.

    These cartridges are easy to replace and contain really good quality ink. The colors are vibrant and they dry quickly. Just wish they lasted a little longer, even the XL tanks don't last very long.

    Buy your ink cartridges elsewhere - like STAPLES

    I purchased this item in late December. The package was sealed but slightly damaged. It was the only 281 on the shelf. When I installed them the printer responded that the ink levels were very low. I returned to the Concord, NC store, explained to customer service and was told that it's Canon's fault and they aren't permitted to exchange cartridges. I was told that cartridges are often deliberately under-filled. My thought: this pkg was VERY OLD. I bought a replacement at STAPLES.
