    We have had our Canon printer for several years and it still prints well. To me, that means the ink cartridge is very good.

    It’s an ink cartridge, what can you say. It is as advertised. I did end up with black ink all over my fingers somehow when I changed cartridges, but fortunately it didn’t get on the carpet. I would like to say, I subscribed to auto-replenish program, which in my opinion is not environmentally friendly. One ink cartridge is shipped via UPS when it is deemed low on ink. Where I live, that means a truck going miles out of its way for delivery each time.

    We do a lot of printing. I don't know if it's the paper we use or if it's the ink, but it smears using a highlighter no matter how many days after printing, that's the reason for Quality & Value = "Good". Other than that all is good.

    I tried the refill ,knock offs. Ended up having issues. If you are just doing basic printing they might work. For photos and presentation documents the original are the only way to go.

    We all know it works. It's ink. But don't let your computer or your Canon printer fool you! There's a LOT more ink in there even after they say it's low. Live on the edge and defy your printer.

    Canon Ink cartridges are usually always very good. However I haven't used it yet since I purchased this just to use up my rewards coupon code before it expires, which is a great help.

    I was glad they had this ink cartridge at Best Buy bc it was out everywhere else that I looked. It was easy to swap out with the old ink cartridge. Works great too.
