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 What’s in a name?
Buying this was my first adventure in using name brand photo paper. Although I’ve owned a Canon Pixma 6000D printer for several years, I’d been using glossy and semi-gloss knock-off brand photo paper to save money on my many printing projects. After deciding to spring for the manufacturer’s paper, I was thrilled to discover that this paper produces vivid photo prints every time. The matte finish means almost instant drying, and no smudges or streaks. For the extra money, I save time and avoid the frustration of having to tweak the printer settings to accomodate the knock-off brands. The one disadvantage of matte paper I’ve encountered is that you need a very sharp blade in your rotary trimmer to avoid the slight fraying of the edges that will occur with a dull blade. A dull blade is more forgiving on glossy and semi-gloss, since they have a plastic-like coating, but as long as your blade is sharp, this matte paper will give you excellent prints that trim like a charm!
5 Stars Exactly what i needed
It was exactly what i needed and they sent is ASAP. Now that’s fast service!
5 Stars MATTE PHOTO PAPER
WELL I MUST SAY I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PAPER AND BUY IT OFTEN. WE DO SOME WEDDINGS AND WE USE THIS PAPER FOR MOST ALL OUR PRINTS. THE QUALITY IS VERY EXCEPTABLE, THE PRICE IS IN KEEPING WITH MOST PEOPLES BUDGET ALLOWING US TO GIVE THEM AN AMAZEING PHOTO ALBUM WITH MOSTLY ALL 8X10 PICTURES INSTEAD OF THE USUAL 4X6. WE ALSO DO 4X6 BUT WE USE THE PHOTO GLOSSY II PHOTO PAPER SO THE NEWLY WED COUPLE CAN FILL UP THEIR PHOTO ALBUMS WITH THE 4X6 SLOTS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO BUY THIS PAPER.
1 Star Photo paper?
This is great scrap book paper.
Its heavy weight–but its not a good choice for photo paper.
I wish they had advertised that this was scrapbook paper instead of photo paper.
I ended up running to Office Depot and getting some quality photo paper…that didn’t cost me shipping 
5 Stars better packaging for shipping
Pleased with the product, the vendor, the price…
BUT, THE PACKAGING WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE PHOTO PAPER PACKAGE FROM BENDING.
PERHAPS NEEDS A STRONG CARDBOARD LINER
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-8Y Ink Tank – Yellow
I use the CLI-8Y Yellow 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: Yellow CLI-8Y (this ink tank), Cyan CLI-8C, 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
- CLI-8 Yellow <-- non-OEM equivalent of this cartridge (Canon CLI-8Y)
- 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 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.

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.
This cartridge is compatible with several popular Canon printers, including BJC-8200, i560 Series, i860 Series, i900D, i9100, i950 Series, i960 Series, i9900, PIXMA iP3000, PIXMA iP4000, PIXMA iP4000R, PIXMA iP5000, PIXMA iP6000D, PIXMA iP8500, PIXMA MP750, PIXMA MP760, PIXMA MP780, S800, S820, S820D, S830D, S900, and S9000. Specially designed for photo prints, the BCI-6C is easy to install and yields about 280 bright color prints.

5 Stars Performs as Expected
I don’t have much to say other than the Cannon branded ink replacements have always performed as expected (well).
In the past, with HP, I did have some problems buying non-HP brands. This is why I am now more careful to buy the matching brand to my printer(s) and to get the best price by using Amazon Prime (discounted, no tax, free 2-day shipping).
5 Stars Always stick with Canon authentic
Economical and works like it should. Always stick with brand inks with your printer. These don’t smudge and won’t destroy your printer. I recommend canon brand inks.
4 Stars Printer Ink
Good price, saves a trip to Office Max. Canon refills last longer and are more reliable than other off brand versions.
5 Stars Completely Satisfied
I just switched back fro gineric brands and am much happier with the results of my printer. It is like brwand new again. The cartridge came quickly and without any problems.
1 Star Not compatable with Kodak ESP 9 printers
Ink grabbers replacement ink Cartridges will not be recognized using a Kodak ESP 9 all in one printer. The chip on the end is different than the original and the screen has an error message stating cartridge not recognized.The instruction sheet for the color cartridge even shows a possible fix for this by modifying the chip by scraping part of the circuit board between to connections.Well this does not solve the problem so neither the black or color inks will work in this printer.I have Emailed the sales department about this problem and requested to return my order but they refused to respond. I would not recommend using any of there after market products. BUYER beware! Sincerely John B
