Posts Tagged ‘Yellow Ink’
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!

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 Great prices, great product, fast shipping!
I guess the title says it all – I am thrilled that I found Sophia Global, and I will never buy my ink anywhere. I am saving a fortune, and their shipping is incredibly fast!
This was my fourth or fifth time buying from them and I am a very happy customer.
4 Stars Works, but a bit sloppy
The ink seems to work well in the printer, however the cartridges really leak as you are putting them in, so be sure you are wearing rubber gloves when you install them. Other than that I was supprised at the lack of problems. I have tried other refills and have had nothing but difficulties, but these (so far) seem to work quite well.
4 stars only because of the leakyness.
5 Stars Buy Canon – DO NOT BUY REFURBISHED
You’ll notice the option to buy refurbished ink at a much lower price. Don’t do it!!
After buying and using 3 sets of refurbished ink from Abacus 24/7, I learned the hard way that they are not the same as Canon. Yep, they are cheaper, but you get what you pay for. After about a year of using off market ink, my ink jets became completely clogged. Cleaning and deep cleaning provided no relief. $150 later for professional repair and replacement with actual Canon ink finally fixed my i9900.
5 Stars Canon 8-pack Ink Tank set
This is a very convenient way to buy ink for my printer. I may also need to buy a few individual taks for the colors that are consumed more rapidly, but the 8-tank set is a great idea.
5 Stars good product
The ink cartridges are what my printer needs and the convenience of being able to buy them all at once is the best part.

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 Printer Ink
Good price, saves a trip to Office Max. Canon refills last longer and are more reliable than other off brand versions.
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
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.
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 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.
