    Never have a problem with genuine Canon Ink carts. Only issue I've had lately is availability. Been needing a photo blue for awhile and this was the first time I found one in stock at a store.

    I have tried cheaper brands of ink and they just dont print as well or last as long as Canon does. Its all i buy for my Canon printer.

    I love (LOVE) my Canon printer. I feed it the best ink. If I was really loaded I'd buy XXL cartridges, but instead I buy the mid-size XL. Don't bother with the non-XL unless you live right next door to the office supply store -- or Best Buy -- or unless you're an OEM supplier trying to reduce production costs to increase profit margin. I also don't buy non-manufacturer cartridges. Life is too short. And I do recycle these babies. Hope you do too.

    This cartridge plugged right into my printer and I had no problems with it. The color was quite nice. Also the ink dries very quickly.

    I rarely use color, but the color ink cartridges seem to go down even when I don't use them (evaporation?) and as with all ink cartridges they are expensive. Also even though I have plenty of black ink and just want to print in black, if a color cartridge is empty, the printer is disabled and cannot print black, until you replace the color cartridges. . Very inconvenient and irritating!

    I always have good luck when I use Canon ink and this time it's no different. Canon ink can be expensive so I try to use it sparingly, but sometimes you can't help it and you go wild with your printing. You can't go wrong with Canon printers and ink.

    Canon ink cartridge Pixma 281 PB XL it's an extra large cartridge , which last for a while. I'm glad that some of these cartridges are being sold separately and I don't have to buy the whole set , which are quite expensive.
