    I purchased this while it was on sale and ended up saving about $30, compared to other sellers; I also used their delivery service and was satisfied with it, I recommend keeping the store on file for your future purchases as it’s very helpful in helping you make conscious and responsible purchases.

    I buy a lot of this ink for my Canon printer. Sometimes it's difficult to find and I don't know why. It is good quality for the pictures and greeting cards I print. The pictures compare to the ones I get at Walmart or Walgreens. Some packages come with an extra large black ink cartridge that will last me several months. I have had as many as three large black unopened cartridges before I found this gem with only small cassettes. The other pack is a bit pricey so I was excited to get this package at such a reasonable price. Check the boxes to make sure you don't overstock on one you won't use for a while. Prices vary depending on the colors you need.

    good reliability for infrequent printing jobs

    I do infrequent printing. I might print some pages, then a couple of weeks or a month or so may pass before I print something again. I've had a Canon printer for several months now, and the ink cartridges work just fine after a long lapse of non-use. Previously I went through two HP printers and had quality problems with the printing if I hadn't used them for a couple of weeks. Also, I like that the printing interface on the computer tells me the status of each of these ink cartridges, so I know when to change them rather than waiting to see a print job go bad.

    Great Colors But Somewhat Costly.

    The colors are fantastic, perhaps partly because of the specialized colors in each cartridge which allows for color fine tuning. The drawback is that there are so many. A positive is that they do not all need to be changed at once. Another negative is that they are somewhat costly for the amount of printing that they allow. Buying the pack does mitigate the cost of each cartridge. Installation is easy and the print dialogue box reveals the ink status of each cartridge.

    These ink cartridges do the job. They are easy to install (although that has more to do with the printer than the cartridges) and they last about as long as they say they will last. My only criticism is the cost - but all ink is expensive.

    The color quality is good and easy to install. Bright colors that do not bleed through or smudge. My first ink pack came with the printer and did not last long. I hope that the current one last longer.
