Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PG-40 Black Twin Pack (0615B013)
Customer Review: Ink runs "out" quickly but don't be fooled
Summary: 3 Stars
The good: good clean ink, no smudging, no irregularities - 100% coverage
The not-so-good: runs out faster than you'd like or you may be used to
The "ah ha" experience: you can run it way beyond the light signal on your printer.
I was disapppointed when I got my new Cannon Pixma and had to switch to the 40-41 line of ink (rather than the 50-51). The cartrideges appear to run low of ink (by the signal on the printer) far before you are ready to pay for a new one. My suggestion? Just keep running it. The quality remains the same and you can nearly double the amount of use. Knowing this, has made it much more of a value and certainly less financially annoying. It also saves time in not having to buy the cartridges as often.
Customer Review: runs out in no time !
Summary: 3 Stars
I got a ip1800 printer with my computer purchase and found that the ink runs out so quickly. I also own a HP photosmart printer and it uses ink more efficiently. HP's #56 ink can normally last much longer even though the print quality is not as good. I just hate to purchase the ink once in a while. They are expensive too.Customer Review: Expensive, but what can you do?
Summary: 3 Stars
Although Canon inks are cheaper than my old Epson's original ink, I can't find cheap third party inks for Canon (like the $5 cartridges I could find for my Epson), so Amazon is my best bet.
This review is mainly to inform other shoppers that the PG-40 holds 16ml, while the PG-50 holds 22ml.
Customer Review: canon PG-40 Black Ink cartridges
Summary: 3 Stars
It was great getting such a good deal on the cartridges.
I was disappointed in the amount of ink in them. Both cartridges went low earlier than expected. Guess the economy has hit the ink industry also. :) Still a bargain.
Customer Review: Nice appearance but runs out way too fast
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a great fan of Canon products generally, but the the printer that requires this cartridge as a refill, well, it uses up the ink oddly fast. With my NEC laser printer, one $100 cartridge will last me 3 years. With this Canon printer, one $20 cartdridge lasts one month most. Do the math.
