Customer Review: SAVE MONEY, BUY GENUINE CANON INK
Summary: 5 Stars
Save your money and buy Canon ink. Years ago I bought a Canon 6000D printer and after the ink tanks ran dry I refilled them with third party ink. I didn't see any difference at first but slowly the colors changed. I started seeing a slight magenta cast, but continued to refill thinking I was saving money. A few weeks ago I bought a Canon Pro 9000 printer. I was shocked to see the beauty of my first print. It was a photo I printed on my Canon 6000D just days before I got the Pro 9000. What a difference. No magenta cast, bright yellows and greens, and an orange that would bowl you over. I then replaced the ink tanks in my 6000D with genuine Canon ink. After cleaning the heads I printed the photo again. Night and day. The quality of the 6000D print came close to that of the Pro 9000. The magenta cast was gone, all the colors were rich and clean. The tanks with third party ink is now in the garbage where they belong. I am now thinking of the wasted paper I used trying to get one good print using the NON Canon ink. I would have been way ahead, and saved money if I used Canon ink in the first place.Customer Review: DON'T BUY REFURBISHED
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my canon i-9900 for a number of years now and have been thrilled by its quality and durability. Last time I was buying a set of ink tanks for the printer, I thought I'd give refurbished tanks a try and save a whole pile of money. Not worth it, no matter how appealing 6 tanks for $10 sounds. The first refurbished tank I put in worked fine for about two prints (after making a bit of a mess on the tank carriage when I put it in), then stopped delivering ink into the wick (white cotton swab part of the tank). My printer didn't know there was anything wrong because it still detected ink in the tank (which there was plenty of). I had to put my finger on the top air hole of the tank and squeeze to get any ink into the wick. Upon further cleaning and inspection, I found that a lot of ink had leaked out of the refurbished tank and into my printer, which was leaving streaks on the back of my pages. Several hours of cleaning later, I was back up and running, with the other unopened refurbished tanks in the trash where they belonged, and canon ink in my printer. No trouble since.Customer Review: ONLY use Canon inks
Summary: 5 Stars
I received a new Canon EOS Rebel camera for a Christmas gift and after shooting some family shots I printed a few out and the colors were way off. I cleaned the print head and even did a print head alignment to be sure and still the colors were awful. I have a Canon I960 Photo Printer and had never had a problem until now. Then I realized I tried to save a few bucks and purchased "bulk ink" to refill my cartridges. I then ordered the Canon 6-pack set and it arrived today. I then printed a family photo on 4 X 6 Photo paper Plus Glossy with the "bulk ink" first and as expected it was lousy. I then changed out bulk ink with the new Canon cartridges and printed the same photo. Oh man, what a difference. It was back looking like a professional processed photo. I learned my lesson. If printing photos, stay with the Canon inks. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE !!!!!Customer Review: Great price, great quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I must say, this is a great value for original Canon ink cartridges. I think they are like $12 to $13 each at best buy or circuit city. I found a couple at sam's club for $9.90 a piece but that's still not as cheap and i couldn't get every color.
Also, I've tried the cheap generic ink cartridges and they simply don't work. Ink is one of those things that is worth paying the extra money for and buying from the manufacturer. The cheap ones dry up quickly or leak all over the place and streak, potentially ruining your printer.
I've gone through two sets of these so far in my printer and they have worked flawlessly all the way to the end.
Customer Review: Canon Ink for Canon i9900 photo printer
Summary: 5 Stars
The Canon i9900 employs eight (8) cartridges. For several years I purchased the Canon 8-pack of refills. The eight separate colors seem to run out in even succession--except for the red and green--I have several new cartridges in my drawer. The six-pack does not include the red and green. Perfect! By the way, the Canon i9900 has been flawless for the several years I've owned it. And the photo color and clarity continues to amaze everyone. This may have something to do with the fact that I have never used any ink but the genuine Canon ink. You're money ahead to buy this 6-pack rather than get hit for $12 to $14 each down at your super-office-supplies store.
