I promptly received the Canon Ink Cartridge. Will order from this seller again.NJB Excellent service. After researching, I found it to be the best price.
It gives me time to order the ink online and get it at a decent price, rather than have to drop everything to drive over 120 miles round-trip just for more ink. If you read your printer manual you will find that yes, you get a warning that the ink is low, but not until the little "x" appears above an ink tank color is the ink truly out and in need of being changed. The ink comes in separate containers so that you only change the color that is out, not a block of 4 colors as with an earlier printer we had.MasterBluestar, Canon is not doing anything that requires a class-action lawsuit. Since I live many miles out in the desert away from any big box store that carries this ink, I appreciate the amount of warning given. We purchased a Canon Pixma Pro9000 last December and love it. The ink colors are great, I especially like the fact that you get the 4 photo colors (R,G,PM,PC) along with CMYK, making photos look professionally done. So when the little "." icon appears it only means that it is time to purchase more ink so it is on hand when the tank is truly dry.
The prices and shipping costs were great. I called customer support and they sent another to my new address at no extra charge and I received it in great time. The customer service is excellent. My item was initially shipped to my old address (I moved recently) and it was not forwarded to my new address. I will definitely do business with them again.
What we didn't know was that we had to get Canon photo paper; it will not print correctly on Kodak or other photo papers. The ink is fine, the printer just seems to run out too quickly, particularly the cyan and magenta colors. My husband insisted on the Canon printer because it's supposed to print better quality photos. That aside, the printer ink colors are OK, but the printer goes through more ink than any HP printer I've ever owned.
However, with higher quality printer, the color ink cartridges get consumed much more quickly.It is evident from the reviews that the price of ink is a major concern for most people. You should ideally use only genuine Canon ink cartridges but if you're strapped for cash, you can purchase the cheaper generic versions (non-OEM) of the CLI-8 cartridges.- CLI-8 4-Pack- CLI-8 Magenta- CLI-8 Cyan If you have a 5-tank printer, chances are the CLI-8PC and CLI-8PM aren't compatible with your printer.Value-----I stint on ink and print my documents almost exclusive in grayscale at the DRAFT quality mode (my Canon IP4200 printer uses the CLI-8 color cartridges even though I don't print in color). DO NOT confuse these ink tanks with the closely-named CLI-8P ink tank series: CLI-8PC and CLI-8PM - these ink tanks are NOT NECESSARILY compatible with your printer. All my ink tanks typically get used up at almost the same rate on the Canon IP4200 so I usually just order the Canon CLI-8 4-Color Multipack Ink Tanks package, which consists of: Cyan CLI-8C (this ink tank), Yellow CLI-8Y, Magenta CLI-8M, and CLI-8Bk Black.*If you need all 4 colors, the Canon CLI-8 4-Color Multipack Ink Tanks is a much better deal.*Quality-------The CLI-8 ink tanks produce pleasing tones and true-to-life colors for photos. I use the CLI-8C Cyan Ink Tank for my Canon IP4200. I find that the high quality photo prints rival those from the photo lab.Compatibility-------------The CLI-8C, CLI-8M, CLI-8Y, and CLI-8Bk Ink Tanks are compatible with the Canon IP and MP Inkjets. I can get about a full ream's worth of paper (double-sided) on 1 cartridge.
