    If you are thinking to buy somewhere else - like the big online retailer or somewhere else, I would just buy these at BB. Not much price difference and these are the value packs!

    Great quality. My problem is that I can get a cheaper off the market one for a fraction of the price. I think is over priced but it has good quality

    Page yields sub par

    In my Canon Pixma TS8220, which uses/wastes color inks on every print job (even though about 95% of our printing is done in black/grayscale), the standard-sized color cartridges in this product are inadequate to provide sufficient page yields/product life to match the larger supply in the included XL black ink cartridge. There is also an additional color cartridge (plum) that is not included in this product, but is fortunately used at a much slower rate.) These facts will required additional adjustments as the smaller yield color tanks are prematurely depleted. My previous Canon printer, a Pixma MG5220, provided much better page yields on every standard cartridge, or about the same yields as the XL versions of the 280/281 series provide now with our newer Canon printer at a significantly higher price! The older printer died with a failure to start, prematurely ending its useful life, and subsequently increasing our printing costs on the newer model with very little difference in features. Have you ever wondered how Canon can get more ink in the same physical container, since the black 280 XL cartridge is the same size as the black 280 standard cartridge? The answer is simple really... they just under-fill the standard cartridge! And wait, there's still unused space in the 280 XL, allowing additional ink to be added for Canon's 280 XXL cartridges, again the same size as the standard cartridges (they have to be to fit in the printers that use them). The bottom line is that Canon could put more ink in all of the standard cartridges, and price them more economically, but... they want more money, and are willing to use marketing trickery, extra ink colors (I never needed "Plum" to get great photos before) and programmed printer ink wasting to rob the consumer. That is my opinion, and if Canon is listening, I will be looking far more carefully at ink costs and page yields before I buy my next printer. May the buyer beware!

    The Canon XL cartridges last quite a long time. I print quite often so I say it lasted me for about at least 6 months

    Once installed the ink great. Maybe it’s my printer or something, but ink kept spilling when I initially installed them. I was probably doing something incorrectly.

    Bought this along with the ink that came with the printer, and have since swapped it in. No mess, and colors come out great in any printings we do.

    We ran out of printer ink and went to Best Buy and found the correct item in stock. The ink is good and provides quality printing, just wish it was not so expensive.
