This ink was hard to find at any price but through the Amazon dealer it was shipped fast and at a great price! I’m very satisfied!

I have always used Canon printers and loved them, but this may be the last time. I held up this cartridge model and the one for my old i860 side by side and realized that the new ones hold about 25% less ink (though are no cheaper). Don’t tell me this isn’t intentional on the part of Canon. Although the ink works fine and the print quality is great, the cartridges run out shockingly fast. I just printed out about fifty 5″x 7″ images using all colors, and a new blue cartridge has already triggered the “low ink” warning emblem. Second, it is such a pain trying to figure out which cartridges are compatible. The cartridges for my new MP620 looked so similar to the ones for my old i860, and I spent a frustrating hour on the Canon website and on the web without finding any information on whether it is safe to interchange them. I noticed another reviewer mentioned that there was incomplete compatibility listing on the cartridge packaging as well. The cartridges for older models look virtually the same and yet apparently are incompatible; I consider this a design flaw because the fact that Canon has not standardized their cartridges among the printer models means that twice now, when the printers have died, I’ve been stuck with expensive, incompatible cartridges. If anyone from Canon reads this, PLEASE get your act together — there is no excuse for ink being this complicated, and you shouldn’t be shortchanging loyal customers by decreasing the longevity of the already very expensive inks. Next time I get a printer I will be carefully researching which manufacturer provides the best ink cartridge longevity.

The product was shipped very quickly and was delivered in perfect condition. Would deal with again!

I love my Canon printer for printing pictures and I like the bargain I received when buying this ink. It was somewhat confusing initially because the same seller did not come up initially, so the product did not qualify for Amazon’s free shipping, but I continued to search until I found a seller I used previously.

This printer is extremely slow. It is difficult to load with paper and it runs out of ink faster than any printer that I have ever owned. I do not recommend purchasing.
