    Printer cartridge

    I really like the high-yield ink cartridges over the other ones. They seem to be a better value since they contain more ink. I still feel that ink cartridges - not just this one but all of them - are overpriced. I suppose this makes up for the fact that the printers themselves tend to be underpriced. Beyond that, this thing fits into my printer (HOORAY!) and works just fine (DOUBLE HOORAY!).

    Canon ink XL cartridge 281 Cyan

    A friend suggested we purchase the Canon printer TR8520 to replace our older & faithful (other brand) wireless printer we had for 6 years; we did so May 2020. This is our first Canon printer, which uses 281 color & black plus PGBK280 black ink cartridges (5 total - older printer used 5 ink cartridges also). We have been pleased, so far, with this printer's performance and ink quality. We always use XL size & have tried XXL for our new Canon printer.

    Nice to be able to buy the individual color cartridges as my printer seems to consume cyan faster than any of the other cartridges. But this is even pricier than the multipacks. Ouch.

    I am happy with this Cyan Ink Cartridge. I like the excellent photos printed with this ink cartridge and my Canon TS9120 printer. The XL version of this ink cartridge lasted a lot longer than the cheaper non-XL version. I will continue to buy this XL cartridge.

    Cartridge came within a good time range. Package was a little flattened but no harm to the product & most likely deliverer's fault. Will buy again because its cheaper & easier than buying it at the store. They always seem to be out of the colors I need.

    At this time, I needed only the 3 colors of this Canon Ink. Best Buy had the XL option while others did not, along with the best price. Would like to add that I love the quality of the Canon Ink and cartridges are super easy to replace.

    I’ve been using this product now for a year or two and we have been very happy with it. Easy to install so that even my kids can take care of it when I’m gone. Sometimes hard to find at store due to low supply. Overall we are happy.

    I find that my Canon printer works best with genuine Canon replacement ink cartridges. Never had any problem with any cartridge made by Canon in the several Canon brand printers I have owned. I would certainly recommend them.

    Great value. Very easy to have the printer automatically send for new ink when low before you run out and can't print anything.. Would recommend using this option for convenience especially if you do lots of printing.

    You can't go wrong with Canon original ink cartridges. The XL last quite a bit longer than the standard cartridge.
