Canon PG-40/CL-41 Genuine Black Ink and Color Cartridge Value Pack with 50-Sheet Photo Paper, Compatible with iP2600/1800/1700/1600, MX310/300, MP470/460/450/210/170/160/150/140/180/190, JX200/210P

I think I've bought this a few times for my old printer, but I don't know if I have left any reviews or not. I always compare prices between buying the inks individually and buying them in a pack. This time, the price for this one was lower than buying things individually so I got some glossy paper with my inks. The value was great... but what's more important is that I can still get this ink somewhere! As my printer gets older and older it's harder to find the necessary items to use with it. This is no exception. A key reason to buy this (versus possibly refilling) is that you can get a level reading with the printer with genuine products. Also, this might be a coincidence but when I was using refill inks I would constantly have issues with printing. There would be smudges, clogged heads, leaking ink, etc. Although I think that some people might attribute this to the person refilling the ink, I feel like it has something to do with the reused container and now prefer to just buy new ink. It usually lasts pretty long, especially if I use the draft function. I will definitely be back for more of this ink in the near future!

WORKS FINE

For my other Canon printer I'm able to get away with using an off-brand ink cartridge. Unfortunately, for this Canon printer I haven't been able to find a reputable off-brand replacement, so I'm stuck buying this duo for the time being. Even though I purchase Canon ink for this printer, the colors these cartridges print are the least vibrant out of my three printers. I do like that for the price it comes with bonus photo paper (which we use on the regular) and isn't too outrageously priced. And like most things, it's much better to buy this product through Amazon than at any of the big chain office stores.

Working well as advertised. Good Color and Black & White printing on my old Canon printer

I am a photographer who uses cannon products like their printer, ink, and paper. I have looked far and wide for the best deals that I can find and have found nothing better for the money than this value pack. At Wal-Mart you pay $27.00 plus tax for just the #41 colored ink. So, why not get all three... the 4 x 6 print paper (50 count), with the color & black ink for just $35.00? You would be stupid to go anywhere else. I have used this product many times over and have found that I am impressed with its quality and value for the money I spend on it every time. I would recommend it to anyone both professional and hobbiest. Also, it always arrives at your door fast. Hardly any waiting at all. UPDATE: Have purchased this from multiple sellers and am still impressed with the value I get for my money. The price varies but usually stays around $35. - $40. Will continue to purchase this in the future. Very happy with it!

Well if you don't want installation issues, use Canon ink. It seems Canon (printers) went way out of their way to make sure using generics would be extremely difficult, not to mention you lose any printer warranty if you don't use their ink. That said, this ink is expensive and no better or worse than other ink. Rock and a hard place. Canon provides both.

These ink cartridges are for a Canon Pixma MP series all-in-one printer. I tried the "discount outlets" once to save some cash but it's definitely not worth the little savings--they sell remanufactured (refilled) ink cartridges--does not show the ink level on screen--you have to guess at how much ink is left in their products. The genuine Canon ink products work best--show the correct level at all times--have the best color reproduction--and last the longest. I'm totally happy with this product for quality and value. As usual Amazon's "free budget shipping" was great--product came in excellent condition and sooner than expected.

I only buy the cartridges made by Canon for my printer now. I have purchased the recycled ones and they either won't work or my printer won't accept them as new...printer still told me they were empty after installing them. There really is not that huge a difference in price. I turn my empty cartridges into a local company so they can fill and resell them, but I won't buy them with all the trouble they cause. The new ones work great right out of the box plus the added photo paper is kind of a nice bonus.
