3 Stars Just nice.
Just nice. It makes an already bulky camera more bulky. Wish it was more form fitting to the camera.

4 Stars Good Camera case
This is a good camera case. I owned the exact case for my Canon Powershot SX70. It fit snugly. Canon sells this same case for the Powershot SX200is. The fit is a bit looser. I would prefer a smaller snugger case but it is serviceable and a very well made case.

5 Stars Perfect case for the camera
This is a big camera and I don’t need it scratched or damaged. This case suits my needs perfectly.

5 Stars Very well made case and quality material
Its very good case all around , my SX200IS fits in perfect. The only thing that I didn’t expect was that it doesn’t have clip-on type of thing to clip it on the belt but instead you have to run your belt through like you do on your pants which is inconvenient but not the end of world. It protects the camera very well and thats the main reason I got this for.

5 Stars Camera Case
I ordered this camera case. It is snug, and I wish there was a place for batteries. I am happy with the case otherwise, and I am glad I didn’t buy the one at Walmart.

5 Stars Not bad for the price!!!
Considering the outrageous price of things today I consider this ink purchase a fairly good buy.

4 Stars Canon PGI- BK 2-Pack
Great product. Usually buying the two-pack is the best value. I didn’t give this card a 5-star rating only because I think the cost of ink is too high for all ink-jet printers.

5 Stars great product
I like getting canon ink. The box was in good shape. I received it within the week. I like it.

5 Stars Value for money and good quality
Note this Pack includes 2 Tanks

My printer is less than an year old and I use it for regular and Photo priting. Initially I felt the alternative brand was cheaper but when you compare the quaility and quantity its worth going with the original.

Alternative Brand

1 Tank = 11$, 2 Tanks = 22$

Cannon I got 2 Tanks for 29.04 -22 = 7.04 (This is worth guaranteed quaility, free shipping and the orginal catridges have extra ink + good quaility photos.)

5 Stars It’s only ink
What can be said about ink. It’s just ink. It’s by the manufacturer of my printer and it is what I needed. It arrived quickly and works well. It was a good buy for the money. In the end, it’s just ink.

5 Stars Great value
Black ink is usually the first ink to go in your printer. This twin pack saves money and these are authentic Canon brand inks. My documents come out nicely and the ink does not smear. Highly recommend. I am using this with a Canon Pixma MP 780 and love the results.

5 Stars Canon Ink
What can you say, it’s printer ink? Good price for the two pack, could not find locally for this price. Genuine Canon, not a refurb. Arrive quickly and in good condition.

5 Stars 2 pack of black ink cartridges
The 2 pack is slightly cheaper than buying the ink one at a time. I haven’t used the “refill” cartridges yet, but the official Canon ones always seem to work perfectly. No problem with my printer in over 4 years.

5 Stars Canon inks-only
I have used Canon inks in my i9900 and am now selling photographs. The only ink to touch my printer.

5 Stars How can you review ink tanks?
Amazon asked me to review my recent purchase. How can one review ink tanks? They’re needed for the printer. Bought the manufacturer’s ink. Nothing to review.

5 Stars Lasts a lot longer than you think… and OEM ink is definitely the best
I have owned 4 Canon inkjet printers, and have a lot of experience with the individual ink tank system Canon uses. I can say with confidence that the BCI-6 and BCI-3 series ink tanks can print quite a bit longer than the software tells you they can. Once all the ink in the reserve tank (not in the sponge) is used up a sensor sends an “Ink Low” message to the software, which then starts counting pages. Whether or not you actually use that color much for the next X number of pages you will still get an “Out of ink” error and a warning that you could damage your printer if you continue to print. Take the ink tank out and visually inspect it. In most cases you can just hit the “Continue” button (or its equivalent on your printer model) and print several more pages (depending on size and whether you’re printing photos or on plain paper). Just be sure to visually inspect the tank every few pages because you don’t want it to run completely dry, that could indeed damage your print head.

I have been using a Canon i9900 for over 2 years and printed hundreds of photos and 11×17 high-resolution pages, and have never had the print head clog using Canon ink. It’s definitely worth it to buy your printer manufacturer’s ink, whether you use a Canon, HP, Lexmark, Epson…

5 Stars Works Just 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.

1 Star Unbelieveable
The Product is great! I just never got what I ordered. After 3 tries I finally gave up.

5 Stars canon ink
Alway happy with my canon ink, because it works the best with my canon printer

5 Stars Completely Satisfied
I have switched back form Generic ink and my photos arfe much more vivid now. My printer works like new again. The cartridge came quickly and without any problem.

1 Star Dead ink cartridge
I ordered this Magenta cartridge and the Cyan cartridge at the same time.

The Magenta cartridge was dead on arrival. It contains ink, but the ink is not being absorbed by the material above it and this color does not print.

The Cyan cartridge is working normally.

I haven’t tried to return the Magenta cartridge because the nuisance of packing and cost of shipping to Amazon isn’t worth it.

5 Stars Outstanding Ink
We are 100% impressed with our Canon MX850 printer, and this Cyan ink purchase for it. The ink cartridges last down to the smallest drop, no waste, the best printer and ink we have purchased. We highly recommend the printer and its accompanying inks. You will use the printer so much that you will buy the affordable inks, as each color is needed, not all at once. Excellent product.

5 Stars Great service, quick shipment
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 called customer support and they sent another to my new address at no extra charge and I received it in great time. I will definitely do business with them again. The prices and shipping costs were great!

5 Stars Canon CLI-8C Ink Tank – Cyan
I use the CLI-8C Cyan Ink Tank for my Canon IP4200. 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 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. 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. 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). I can get about a full ream’s worth of paper (double-sided) on 1 cartridge. 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 <-- non-OEM equivalent of this cartridge (Canon CLI-8C)

- CLI-8 Yellow

- CLI-8 Black

I have not verified that they do in fact work as claimed so try them at your own risk!

Bottom Line

———–

The Canon CLI-8C/M/Y/BK ink cartridges may be expensive, but they deliver consistently high quality text and photo prints.

3 Stars Canon MP830 printer ink
My husband insisted on the Canon printer because it’s supposed to print better quality photos. 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. That aside, the printer ink colors are OK, but the printer goes through more ink than any HP printer I’ve ever owned. The ink is fine, the printer just seems to run out too quickly, particularly the cyan and magenta colors.
