    It’s fine ink but the printer isn’t my favorite. This box also only comes with 4 cartridges but the printer itself uses more and in different shades. Curious why they don’t match and provide all of them in the multi-color pack...?

    You get what is in the picture.. but they don't have all the cartridges the printer need.. so I end up having extra of the ones I don't use that often. I wish they sell them separately or all the cartridges in one box.

    The problem I have with this printer and these cartidges, is that if only one runs out, you have to buy all of them, I often have to replace all the colors, sometime leaving some of them with more than 50% ink left.

    I replaced my HP print for a canon multi function printer. The printer uses the particular toner. The cartridges are small and the pack is very expensive even the single cartridges are expensive also ink runs out very fast so I find myself replacing the cartridges every other month even though I only use the printer a few times a month.

    it was empty inside, and I bring it back they thought I changed it. maybe it was dry by the time or expired. I do not know. And I bought same thing so much cheaper than this from another store. Next time please sell something within market rate and make sure it did not expire or empty. Thanks god they gave my money back, but worker did not want to change because of best buy rule.

    Ink cartridges run out very quickly. Seems like I'm replacing the black ink after about 20 copies. Seems very wasteful and its frustrating.

    Great printer for common use but ink cost are now more expensive than printer. Appears to be a Cannon philosophy, will not buy Cannon again despite quality.

    I print in gray scale but somehow always run out of one of the other colors. I wish I could buy just the one cartridge but they make you buy the whole suite of colors.

    The ink in this standard sized package just doesn’t seem to last long enough to be able to print a decent number of pages so is not good value for my money.
