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.

    Not Happy

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

    I like that they are the brand associated with my printer, but they are expensive for what you get.

    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.

    This ink quality is good, but not lasting enough. it is not lasting even the days it is mentioned. They should mention the exact date it should last because it did not last half the days it should.

    The printer ink is so expensive for a printer that only cost a little over $100. Ink to replace all Volos is $65.

    BEST BUY'S CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BECOME TRASH. EVERYTHING FROM PLACING THE ORDER, HAVING IT CANCELLED 4 TIMES, TO HAVING TO SPEAK TO CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES WHO DO NOT HELP YOU FIND A SOLUTION TO YOUR BEST BUY RELATED ISSUES. I HAVE ENJOYED SHOPPING WITH BEST BUY IN THE PAST, BUT THIS TIME I AM JUST OVERWHELEMED AND FRUSTRATED AT HOW BAD THEIR SERVICE HAS BECOME. I WOULD RATHER DEAL WITH ANOTHER COMPANY THAN HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE HEADACHES THAT COME WITH THEM. SHOP ELSEWHERE IF YOU WANT QUALITY SERVICE AND A GOOD ONLINE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE. THEY ADVERTISE ITEMS AS IN STOCK AND THEN TAKE HOURS TO TELL YOU IT'S ACTUALLY NOT. WASTE OF TIME SHOPPING ONLINE WITH THEM.
