    Love The Printer. Auto Ink Ordering, Not.

    My printer automatically ordered only 2 of the 4 ink Cartridges that it later determined was required, after the samples had run out. I went into Best Buy and spoke with an associate, and we agreed that economically I should purchase the 4pk instead of just the 2 remaining colors that the printer changed it's mind and indicated that I needed (one of the 2 was not in stock anyway). So I did. Now I had six ink cartridges, as I had already opened and loaded the 2 automatically ordered. When I got home and loaded the 4 pack that the printer earlier indicated that I needed, it now indicated that I needed one more (black). I then went to Office Depot who price matched Best Buy, and now have 2 ink cartridges that I will probably never be able to use (the automatically ordered ones). My printer is working fabuously though!

    Excellent ink. Would never purchase off-brand replacement ink. Did that one time prior and it ruined my previous printer.

    The Canon copier is used for papers and presentations for college work. Having black and white and color cartridges gives me a great variety for my papers and presentations.

    Normally I don't like to purchase ink for the printer as it always costs too much. However, Best Buy had the best price for the package compared to other retailers. As always, works well.

    The first time I tried putting the ink cartridges in was very confusing. But now it is easy and I like the variety of colors that Canon offers.

    The cartridges are so small that I find that keeping ink filled gets very expensive for my TS9120 Canon printer. Otherwise the printer is great. The colors look great. Maybe some way could be arranged to give folks a break on the price of ink.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Ink cartridges seem to last a really long time and not replacing as often as i have had to replace with other printers with the same amount of use.

    The value pack does provide all the colors required for the cannon printer. These are not XL so depending on how much printing you do do not expect them to last a long time. Print quality is good.
