I'm finding that my Canon ix6820 produces a much better photo than my Epson XP-830. The Epson is constantly leaving streaks of black ink on the photos, because the black cartridges seem to leak. When I want to print photos, I have to remove the black cartridges and carefully wipe the silicone ring around the print heads to remove this excess ink. Then I can print photos with no black streaks, but the Epson has always put too much ink down on the prints and images containing plaid shirts or similar areas tend to get muddied in the darker areas of the photos The Canon printer and inks do not do this, even when printing the same photo that was printed on the Epson. I hope the new XL cartridges for the Canon last a lot longer than the first set that came with the printer, or I'll be looking for a new econo tank printer for cheaper operating costs. I have no complaints at all with the print quality of the Canon, just hope I can get economical use out of these new XL cartridges.

Worked great. Would buy again but the printed failed.

I do a lot of printing, so I really appreciate having the XL size option for the Canon ink cartridges. I was a little puzzled at first why the 251 black cartridge wasn't included in the pack, but the printer really doesn't use a lot of that ink. I go through the PGI-250XL black cartridges regularly, but not the 251. So, getting the three color cartridges together in an XL size is very helpful and keeps printing costs down a bit. The colors are beautiful and the print quality with the MX-922 printer is really good. I'm very happy with both the ink and the printer.

This is a good "value pack" depending on the price you pay for it. I treat my canon printers to canon ink just because I am silly enough to believe that canon ink is better for the printer than the knock off inks. I am currently running a little comparison... I have a second printer that I am feeding only the knock off inks and I want to see how they compare. But for my photo printing needs I rely on the canon ink and right now the MG6300 printer. These inks really do produce stunning results, they never seem to clog. Here's what I don't understand.... why don't they sell a 251xl FOUR pack. My printer also uses a gray ink tank. It would be very convenient to have that as well. Perhaps the reason is because some of the folks who use this ink only use three tanks? Anyway, the key to purchasing the value pack is to make sure the price is a value on the day you are purchasing. Like the stock market, ink prices go up and down. Some times it is more of a value to purchase the inks separately. BOTTOM LINE: Great ink. You can't go wrong with this. Just make sure its for sale at a good price on the day you are buying it.

NEVER use recycled ink. It will ruin your printer over time. Both my printers failed after about a year of light use when using recycled/off brand ink. ALWAYS use original manufacturers ink. The printer I had that never had recycled ink in it lasted many many years. Get the extra large cartridges. They last much much longer than the regular size. The savings is very significant. There is actual research on their site comparing the cost per page.

Great ink always in stock too

Ever wonder why these cartridges cost so much? Me too. But that's not what this review is about. The colors are great as is Canon's reputation. Too bad the big expensive little-used Canon printer just gave up the ghost without warning. New ink for nothing.

I have been using my Canon printer for years, always with Canon ink. Though not cheap, I can tell you the ink has never failed me. The cartridges never leak, smudge, or otherwise fail. Also, photos come out great printed on the appropriate paper. I will stick with these great performers, passing on the cheaper substitutes.

good

Great price
