Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon CLI-8 4-Color Ink Tank
Customer Review: True-To-Life Color Production
Summary: 5 Stars
I use the CLI-8 series ink tanks for my Canon IP4200. I use my printer primarily for printing text documents and only occasionally print pictures.
Pros
----
- True-To-Life Color Cartridges
The color production for both text and images is superb. Text printed using these cartridges in all of the Print modes (FAST, STANDARD or HIGH) are sharp. The sharpness and deep black color on FAST and STANDARD modes rival that produced by the best laser printers. The quality of the photos are true-to-life and comparable to those from a photo lab (yes, they're that good).
- Reliability
These printer cartridges have proven to be very reliable for me. I have yet to encounter a faulty ink cartridege that the printer had to reject.
- Ink Usage
At the lowest quality mode, I can print about a ream's worth of paper - double-sided.
Cons
----
- Ink Usage
My printer actually uses all of the color ink cartridges - at about the same rate! I had the same experience with my old HP printer as well. I Googled extensively on why this was done. Almost all resources point to the canned response from Canon stating that this is done to make the colors more "vibrant." I mean black is black is black! Why you would need colors to make black more "vibrant" boggles me. Go figure.
- Price
Last, I should mention the price of cartridges are more on the steep side. The CLI-8 printer cartridges can be brought separately: Cyan CLI-8C, Magenta CLI-8M, Yellow CLI-8Y, and CLI-8 Black. It would, of course, be a much better deal with this package if you need to get all the colors. My printer also uses another black cartridge, the PGI-5.
---
There you have it. To sum it all up: These ink cartridges produce text and photos that are of phenomenal quality. The main gripe I have is the price of ink cartridges. Despite this price of the printer cartridges, I have still rated the Canon CLI-8 Multipack Ink Tanks 5 stars by virtue of the impressive quality of color and black and white prints they produce.
