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

5 Stars Completely Satisfied

4 Stars Works great with my printer, but
Good product, but ink price is causing me to cut back on prints.
Went out and bought a used Laser Printer, for text prints.
5 Stars There is more than one Cyan Ink!
I’ve owned several printers in the past and tried all of the so-called Canon substitutes. As most of us know, they simply do not work as well.
So when I purchased the Canon printer I am currently using, I promised never to use an ink other than Canon. Although they cost much more than the substitutes, the prices on Amazon seem to be the most favorable.
But I did run into a snag. I searched cyan blue on the Amazon site and order a tank. When I went to replace several colors, all went well until I tried to set the Cyan blue in place. Nothing! After several attempts, I suddenly realized that the tank I was attempting to replace was a CLI-8C and I had unkowingly purchased a CLI-8PC – Photo Cyan. I contacted Canon and was told the printer would not accept the Photo Cyan.
Certainly not the end of the world. But I do wish the product listing on Amazon contained some sort of warning about the difference. I then searched for cyan blue on Amazon and finally found it way down in the listing and purchased a tank. However, I would suggest that the search and/or listing be modified in some way to distinguish between the two inks.
5 Stars Prefer Canon Ink
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 Pixma ink
Overall, the Canon Pixma printers (IP6600D in our case) exceed our expectations for photo quality. It is at lease as good as processed photos at retailers (i.e.: Costco), about the same cost, but clearly more convenient.
Additionally, the “6600″ has an easy to use duplexing capability that is easy to access when printing text pages, saving substantially on wasted paper.
With regard to the inks, I believe the quality, tones, and accuracy is excellent.
5 Stars ink is ink
Great product and great quality. But one con: Staples has got this this brand ink for as cheap as $13.49 a tank.
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 Ink Preferred

5 Stars Canon CLI-8M Ink Tank – Magenta
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: Magenta CLI-8M (this ink tank), Cyan CLI-8C, Yellow CLI-8Y, 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 <-- non-OEM equivalent of this cartridge (Canon CLI-8M)
- CLI-8 Cyan
- 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 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 Easy To Use
I bought this as a gift for my husband. He’s very happy with it, the quality of the prints, and the ease of use.
5 Stars Easy to Operate
We bought this printer to use for a photo guest-book at my daughter’s wedding. We had it on a table with an AC power source and printed the pictures as they were taken by putting the memory card (from a Canon P&S camera) in the printer. It performed flawlessly outside in mid 80s F temperatures operated by two people who had never seen the printer before. I provided a small sheet of written instructions and they did the rest. The picture color and brightness were correct every time with no computer program processing involved. It made a great day even better with a ton of memories safely preserved.
4 Stars All round good little printer
I wanted a simple printer to use for printing out pics of my grandchild. I am so tired of replacing ink cartridges and I thought maybe the dye sublimation format would be easier to use. I was right! It is so simple to set up and use the Canon Selphy CP780. The software makes it very easy to create many cool effects. I use the multiple pic on one sheet and the calendar feature a lot. And it’s so small. You can put it anywhere, even in a (large) camera case. Really like it.
5 Stars Love this printer !!!
I just love this printer. It is so easy to use and prints beautiful pictures that I can now do at home instead of having to go to a store and wait!! The price is awesome for the quality and LOVE THE HOT PINK COLOR!
5 Stars Great little printer
