4 Stars Satisfied Customer
I have tried buying refilled cartridges before to save money. It never works. Always buy new manufactured cartridges. Canon’s is always very good.
4 Stars Ink
The price was good. My only complaint was a broken clip on the large black cartridge. It works even though the clip is broke. Canon ink has always worked better than the off brands. You get a more crisp result.
5 Stars Paper is a bonus
This would be a great price for the ink alone compared to buying individual cartridges. Throw in the paper and it’s even better. I’ve found the best photo printing results using Canon ink and Canon photo paper together in my Pixma 4000 printer.
5 Stars Good deal from Amazon
I’ve used generic ink cartridges before, and I think they ended up costing me more than actually saving any money. The generic brands would clog up my printer, and with all the ink wasted in “cleaning” the print heads I never did use enough of the generic ink for actual printing to make the trouble worth it. Mind you, I’ve used 3 of the top generic brands, and nothing has come close to actual Canon ink. The generic ink might seem to work great at first, but over time you’ll notice the difference.
With this combo pack, you save more per cartridge. Even without the photo paper, this is still a good deal on ink. I do a lot of graphic intensive projects, so I go through printer ink rapidly. I only use Canon ink now.
1 Star Not Canon Ink
I just received two of these today. Upon opening the plain, grey plastic pouches, I was very disappointed to find non-Canon cartridges. In fact, the cartridges had no supplier or manufacturer information on them at all. $42 is rather steep for “compatible” cartridges, so back they are going. At least I had no problems with Amazon’s customer service. I am getting a full refund and prepaid return shipping. I don’t know if this is just a glitch, but I would be wary of them.
If you use your Canon Pixma printer for photo printing, you might have observed that the color cartridges seem to drain fast. The engineers at Canon are aware of this and have helped resolve the problem. Instead of requiring a complete ink cartridge replacement, the cartridge was designed as 2 modules: cartridge transfer mechanism and an ink tank. This is the ink tank. It’s a refill for your ink cartridge and is an economical way of adding ink without having to pay for an entire cartridge. It’s a sensible alternative.

5 Stars Canon CLI-8Bk Black Ink Tank
Works on an old Pixma iP4000 and works great at that! Black ink is black ink but it makes my photos look terrific. From now on, if the CLI-8 ink is offered in kits that allows me to buy the inks that I need for my kerosene-powered Pixma, I will buy them from Amazon!
5 Stars Low cost ink
After spending a lot for ink cartridges, I decided to buy a generic instead from Sophia Global. Worked great, will buy again.
5 Stars Excellent Price and Performance
This product is an excellent product at a great price. I tried BRAND X in my Canon iP 4200 printer but I only got mixed up colors and unusable photos. I am done with any brand but original Canon inks. Amazon’s pricing make this possible with thier low pricing on original Canon Color Ink Sets.
1 Star wronk ink
Amazon has done this twice to me now that they recommend the wrong ink for my printer. I know in someways its my fault for not making sure but inks looks so much alike and there are so many models for example the my printer is mp480 and this ink i bought went up all they way to mp470 i mean this is getting difficult to keep up with this stuff. THe ink looked exactly the same but it differed a little in size. I don’t buy from stores because usally they are ridicously expensive and sometimes they don’t even have the ink your looking for. I finally found the correct ink and they don’t even reccomend it for my printer. But i do like the return policy that amazon has and that is something i found out is great about this site. This ink toner finder is the only problem i ever had with amazon but the return policy was very simple so i can’t get to mad at them. I think the real problem is there are too many printer models and different ink cartrides!!!!!!!!!!!
5 Stars Canon CLI-8BK Ink Tank – Black
I use the CLI-8Bk Black 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: CLI-8Bk Black (this ink tank), Cyan CLI-8C, Magenta CLI-8M, and Yellow CLI-8Y.
*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 this cartridge AND the CLI-8C/M/Y 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 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
- CLI-8 Yellow
- CLI-8 Black <-- non-OEM equivalent of this cartridge (Canon CLI-8Bk)
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 5 Stars for the Canon item in the box; 1 Star (or Less) for the Purported Canon Item in the Bag
Initially, my order was filled by Amazon.com with an ink tank that arrived in a grey plastic bag. The description on the outside of the bag purported to state that the bag contained a genuine Canon ink tank; however, my printer wouldn’t recognize the tank after I installed it. (This had NEVER happened before.) Amazon.com replaced the item with an ink tank which arrived in the “usual” Canon box, and upon installation this tank was immediately recognized by my printer (as were all other “genuine” Canon tanks).
So beware of “substitute” products – especially substitute Canon ink tanks which are packaged in grey plastic bags. My “star” rating for this item is 3: the average of 5 (for the replacement ink tank) and 1 (for the intital ink tank sent to me by Amazon.com).
4 Stars Canon Ink CLI-8Y
Canon Pixma MP960 is a wonderful product and the ink by Canon compliments the color photos immensly!
4 Stars Cartridge less than fresh
Product shipped was as ordered but was a year old with only six months left in the suggested use time. Would have expected that a high volume seller like Amazon to have the freshest of product. When I complained, they offered to take it back but I elected to not bother.
5 Stars Genuine Canon Ink Fan
I always use the genuine article when refilling my Canon Printer. Why mess with a good thing. It works great!

5 Stars Canon Ink Preferred
Have been using Canon 8 ink in my Canon Pixma iP520 photo printer for over 3 years. I sell prints from this printer.
I teach digital photography and recommend printer manufacturer’s inks to assure quality results. “Compatible ink” means ink cartridge will work in that printer. Quality varies considerably.
5 Stars Canon CLI-8M Ink Tank – Magenta

3 Stars Ink is fine; cost isn’t
We have all been warned that this is the strategy followed by many printer companies – keep printer prices low and charge relatively high prices for the ink. This is certainly the case here – I paid just under $15. In about a month, it is already below half and I do very little color printing.
Other than that, the ink and the printer works very well (I have a Canon MX 700).
3 Stars Canon MP830 printer magenta 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. My next printer will be another HP printer.
3 Stars Rip-off
The ink works well. No problems. But as you know all printer inks are a real rip-off.

4 Stars Good wireless printer for the price
I’ve had this printer for about a month now so please don’t base this off a longterm use of the product. Since I’ve only had the printer for a month I cannot comment on ink usage since I use the printer once or twice a week. So far the printer has worked well. I have a Wireless network setup (802.11 b/g/n) and the printer connects without any problems to both desktops on my network. I was also able to connect the printer via WEP (128-bit) and WPA-PSK/WPA-PSK2 Personal. I found that you will need a link strength of 50% or more and signal strength close to 70% for a smooth run on print and scan via the wireless network. I love that the scan can be setup directly on the printer for you to send to the computer as PDF/image. This really cuts down on my time to convert to PDF which is a very nice feature. Standard Printing good quality – better than my old HP PSC 1210xi. I particularly like how the MP560 can print individual photos rather than letter size photo paper (requiring you to cut out). The borderless printing is VERY NICE – I haven’t seen any issues with bleeding or off colors (using a canon high gloss paper). The power cord is slim and good length – no bulky adapter to deal with, especially when you have a power strip that has been taken up by other large adapters. As I mentioned the ink I cannot comment on at the moment for usage but the installation of print head and cartridges was very simple – just follow the directions to avoid any damage. Sorry this isn’t very technical but I figured I’d just put a comment up for a nice wireless printer at a good price. I didn’t see any other reviews but wanted to point this one out as a good printer. Good luck with your search!
4 Stars Printer is o.k.
This printer is great,only after I had to return the first one. The first one did not print. But purchasing a second one is great.
4 Stars Painful set-up for Mac OS X Snow Leopard & turtle slow wireless printing
The 75 minutes I spent with tech support trying to get my Mac OS X running Snow Leopard to set-up and print was one of the worst experiences ever.
Their customer service at Canon needs help. First, getting through the bad menu system led me to a woman who could not have been more clueless. She had me download and install and tweak multiple items, then kept trying to get me to interface with non-existent items.
Finally, after over an hour with her, and threatening to send the computer back, she transferred me to someone who was able to get me to the promised land.
When I did finally connect, printing wirelessly took well over a minute to print a very simple text only page of “Testing printer”
I would NOT recommend this printer to Mac users or those on mixed networks.
I expected much better from Canon.
5 Stars Nice Printer
I’m not going to be too technical in my review. I’ve owned this printer for a week now and don’t have many complaints. Loading the paper is very easy. Photo paper is loaded in the back. So far the pictures I’ve printed looked great. No problem with scanning and copying. It’s very quick in handling all my tasks. Also, one major feature that I love is the built in double sided page printing. No need for a duplexer! The only thing I don’t like is the little panel that comes up on the side. A bit flimsy for me.
So, overall I’m impressed with this device. Very fast and a nice looking printer for the price. I don’t think you will be disappointed in purchasing this printer.
5 Stars Very satisfied, to the point of being compeled to write a review
Really beautiful design and engineering. Major improvement over the MP530 I had before: silent, responds quickly to “on/off” switch, apparently consumes less ink. Fast, good quality printing, specially on Photos. Great “usb drive” functionality (printing photos, saving scans in PDF or JPEG format). Wireless set up was easy on both Win and Mac (after downloading the latest Mac OS 10.6 version from Canon website). Not a glitch so far (1 week use/playing with it). Very satisfied.
