User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Good for Canon printer
This ink works great with Canon printer. Unfortunately this is the ONLY ink that works great with a canon printer. Any other ink I tried produce terrible result. So, basically if you own Canon printer you stuck with this ink, which can be a little less expensive. I gave 4 stars because the price is a bit high.

5 Stars Good ink for picture printing
If you use your printer to print photos, use original Canon ink. Works great and color is accurate.

5 Stars Works As Advertised
With gas prices these days, might as well buy them online. I ordered 3 of them with Amazon and got them within 2 days – pretty good. If you buy 3 or more, you get the free shipping which also saves money.

5 Stars Completely Satisfied
This is much better then the Generic ink I had been using and I am very happy. The ink came quickly and without any problems.

5 Stars As advertised
This product is exactly what I needed. It came on time and in ‘new’ condition.

4 Stars Good product, but….
Printing a lot less color prints, because of price. Never thought I’d try generic ink, but taking a chance.

1 Star Wrong Ink Cartridge
I used Amazon’s Ink & Toner finder for my MP600. I was shipped the 8PM model when I actually needed the 8M. I opened the package and now I can’t return it so I’m out $15. Don’t trust the ink finder. It said that the 8PM was for my MP600 printer.

1 Star Fix your “will this fit my printer?” gizmo please, Amazon
Having read the arguments as to whether people were reading the product information incorrectly or what, I thought I would try the “will this fit my printer?” gizmo. It told me that this product *will* fit my printer (a Pixma iP4300) when it WILL NOT.

So, Amazon, sort your gizmo as it is actively misleading your customers.

3 Stars Amazon says this is the right tank for my printer: It isn’t!
There has been a lot of criticism here of people who’ve complained that they ordered the wrong tank, i.e., a CLI-8PM, when they should have ordered a CLI-8M. Well the same thing happened to me. And guess what? On the page where the tank is displayed, Amazon has a box which says:

“Will this work with my printer?” It then (somehow) correctly figures out what printer I have and announces: “Yes, this will work with the Canon iP5200R printer.” Well, it won’t.

I had to spend $9.99 with Canon tech support last night to find out why my printer wasn’t recognizing my new tank from Amazon. The answer was it WON’T work in the iP5200R. Yes, I probably should have paid more attention, but Amazon pointed me to this tank and told me it would work.

So, this is supposed to be a review of the ink. Ok. I’ve had this printer for nearly four years and it makes beautiful prints. But the ink tanks drain rapidly, even when you’re not using color. I think this occurs because of the automatic cleaning cycle before printing. Also, the ink tanks have plenty of ink remaining when the entire printer shuts down and demands you get a new tank. You can’t even print a letter if, for instance, any of the color tanks are “empty.” So I give the ink quality five stars, but drop it by two stars for the excessive ink use and the way it shuts down until all tanks are refilled, even when they’re far from empty.

Amazon needs to get its act together on this. It’s not worth it for me to return a fifteen dollar leaky ink tank. Instead I’m going out today to buy an HP. I’ve had enough of Canon’s ink shenanigans.

1 Star Don’t Trust Amazon’s Ink and Toner Finder tool
I checked Amazon’s Ink and Toner Finder tool or the Will This Work with Your Printer? tool that appears with the Ink description according to that the Ink i ordered works with my Printer, After ordering receiving this Ink tank and installing on my printer, a Canon MX700 the Ink tank was not recognized…. Instead of the CLI-8PM I Needed the CLI-8M, but Amazon’s tool still shows that this is the correct Ink for my printer when It is not… Now I can’t return the ink as I opened the box.

2 Stars These work but not for long
This sale was a bit misleading since it states under condition that this product is New. It is not, its a refilled cartridge which originally did not bother me, however, like many refilled cartridges, they dont last like a manufacturers sealed cartridge does. They do work in my printer with no issues, but normally cartridges last me approx. 2 1/2 – 3 weeks with my use, and the first one I used just ran out after less than 1 week. Even with a great low price, this was not a good deal for me. I will go back to the sealed manufacturers ink cartridges.

1 Star Printonic generic ink for Canon MX310
WE bought 2 of these ink refills and after about 25 pages it is claiming we are out of ink and the machine will not print. That makes it a very expensive “cheap alternative.”

5 Stars Fast service, great price
Looked all over the internet and this was the exact cartridge listed in my printer paperwork. Got here fast! Best price, exactly what I needed.

3 Stars If it fits your printer
This is the cartrdige for my Canon i450 printer. Wish it were cheaper. Other than that, it’s the right cartridge so of course it works.

3 Stars Why the Mystery !!???
Can’t give this product a good rating because there is NO INFORMATION on the carton OR the cartridge that tells us how much ink is in the cartridge.

I’m surprised that Amazon.com would advertise a product that has no weight and/or volume info on the package.

Peace.
