    As with most printers, the ink is what gets you. This ink is not as expensive as some, and the quality is good.

    Canon 281 BK XL Ink

    I believe the 281 is for Color print mixing. Seems The Canon 280 PGBK is for Black page printing since it seems to be the only cartridge that is being used up. I haven't done much color printing, so get the 280 if you do a bunch of black printing. I'm not an expert on the Canon TR8520 yet.

    Individual Canon Ink Cartridges

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Buying individual ink cartridges are nice because certain colors, like black, are used in printing more than others so I don't wind up with excess color cartridges that aren't used as much even though they are more expensive individually that in a multi color package.
