This is the third boxed set of CANON PG-240XL (black and white)/CL-241XL (color) cartridges I've purchased, and I've never had a problem with these at all. They've installed easily and performed as described. I guess these XL cartridges are a better deal than non-XL cartridges, but, frankly, I can't FIND non-XL cartridges of this type! These specifically yield about 700 pages per set depending upon what you actually print. My current costs for printing runs about 7 cents per page with this ink (and paper) as of June 2012 prices.
I use these on a Canon PIXMA MX432 Wireless Color Photo Printer with plain, white photocopier paper to print documents and occasional coupons. I've popped in some Canon 8 x 10 Semi-Gloss Photo Paper and printed out a few photos and they come out "pretty good." If you're not an image snob, the quality on the photo paper is pretty good. But, it is not professional grade and it doesn't pretend to be so. Photo paper can be pricy, so your per-page costs will increase. Add about 50 cents per 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet of photo paper for each page (i.e., rule of thumb page cost would be about 60 cents).
You can't get around the high cost of ink-jet cartridges. My all-in-one PIXMA MX432 printer costs about the same as buying two boxes of these black/color cartridge sets but that's just the way of the ink-jet world. There are no cheap ink-jet cartridges and the pricing here is within normal ranges. If you find a good deal and want to buy several boxes, you should understand that these are rated with a shelf life of about two years so long as you keep them in the package.
I can't say I "love" these ink cartridges. But I like them pretty much in a platonic sort of way. Buy'em if you need'em

Ink is great and wonderful price for what you get. Unfortunately the printer from Canon sucks and I had to get rid of it. Hopefully I can sell the ink to someone who still owns a Canon printer before they realize what a terrible product it is and gets rid of it like I did mine.

I like the large size of the black ink. I wish there had been a large in the color cartridge; it is being used faster. There does not seem to be a way to increase the contrast on this Canon printer.

Very good price for OEM cartridges. I always prefer getting Canon cartridges if they are closely priced to the generics. These are as advertised and I believe the number of pages printed was very good. By the way ink prices has gone up a lot lately...But it isn't just Best Buy. They went up everywhere.

You get black and color ink with photographic paper to print out. This is a great package especially since one ink alone is about $30. This will last me for a long time very happy with my purchase just wish they carried this deal in stores so I don't have to ship it. Well worth the price
