BlastCase 5 Pack with CHIP Non-OEM Ink for PGI-225 CLI-226 Pixma ip4820 iP4920 MG5120 MG5220 MG5320 MG6120 MG6220 MG8120 MG8220 MX882

Recently installed, so I can't report on a full cycle. What I can say is they plugged in just like the Canon originals, are performing likewise, and cost a hell of a lot less than Canon wants for replacements. For price and ease of use I give a qualified 4 stars, subject to comparison with the longevity of the OEMs, the which--- Sucked! I should add that I use the printer sparingly.

If you're debating about trying these very inexpensive inks, you might want to read of my recent experience, which is very positive on using these Non-OEM inks from this seller.I'm sure this seller makes very little on each sale of these inks. Nevertheless, they provided better service than I've found with some of the big ticket item companies. I feel that sellers like this are doing their best to make their buyers happy and I know they appreciate good reviews, which is why I have taken the time to write this. If you're on a budget, I'd certainly encourage anyone to try this seller for printer ink and give them a chance to make it right if one of the inks you receive is defective, as mine was. Faulty cartridges probably do happen periodically, but it's worth it for the huge savings. They replaced mine very quickly, and I am having terrific results using these inks.If you want the details, I have fairly new Canon ip4920 printer and thought I'd check Amazon to see what was available in inks. This printer takes 3 colors and two black inks and I was leery when I saw the 5 pack of all these inks for around $5.88. Decided to try them based on the reviews. There were a few negative reviews, but, heck, for the price, why not give it a try. I needed ink and received the 5-pack in good time.When I tried the new inks, however, the print was horrible, all bluish and yellowish... a mess. I figured that is what one would expect for this price. However, it occurred to me that it was missing the magenta color so I tried my original canon magenta with the other four Non-OEM inks and, voila, it looked great! I couldn't get the magenta from this seller to work. I printed out a color wheel using the four of the inks from this seller plus the Canon original magenta and compared it with one printed with all original canon inks and I could not detect a difference. The colors on both are excellent.Soooo... I emailed the Co. from an address found on their site and surprise surprise, I got a personal reply back. They said they would be happy to replace the defective magenta cartridge. It arrived in a few days and I am very pleased to be able to print color greeting cards, photos etc. for practically nothing compared to what I'd been paying for inks for my previous Epson printer and what I would be paying for original Canon inks for my new printer. I actually had been buying non-OEM inks for my previous printer, but they were still five times the price for these inks ($5.99 per cartridge as opposed to $5.88 (roughly) for all five cartridges from this seller).I'm new to these inks, but so far I'm very impressed. One other thing I found is that my canon printer will tell me that one or more of my inks is out and that I might damage my printer to continue. I was frustrated and going to replace the ink, but my husband said just keep printing even though it shows one or more of my inks as empty or very low. I tried it and couldn't believe that I printed about 20 full page very colorful Christmas letters after getting this notice. These printer Companies sell their printers for very reasonable amounts and make their money on the inks so don't be surprised to get these messages of the need for replacing the ink cartridges. It may be true that you need to replace a cartridge, but go ahead and print until you see the quality deteriorate ... then replace. If, in the future, I find that these inks are not working or I've stated something incorrectly, I will write another review or comment on this one if I can find it - ha. Hope this is helpful.

I bought this in September and just had a chance to print a photo. The first 6 times I tried to print a photo, it had a blue hue to it because the Yellow was not printing. I recalibrated my printer to no avail. I used the cartridge deep clean option ..stil to no avail. I then took out the Yellow cartridge and knocked it against a sheet of paper until yellow spattered out. I then placed the cartridge back ran the self cleaner and Viola ...photos were perfect!

I was really nervous about changing the ink because it was my first time changing ink for my Canon Pixma MX892 and a number of the reviews said that the ink exploded from the cartridges. Fortunately, that did not happen. I printed out a few pages in black and white and they seemed fine. However, I can't tell you if these generic replacement ink cartridges will print out great photos or not. One superficial difference between these and the Canon cartridges, which threw me off, is that the tab on the Canon cartridges are black with a small clear dot for where the red light indicating whether it's out of ink can shine through. These replacement cartridges have a whitish clear tab and the whole tab will glow red once inserted. I bought one set for a total of five bucks. Would I buy these again? If they continue to function as they did today, then absolutely.How I replaced the ink cartridges: I laid out newspapers on the top of my desk (anticipating an explosion of ink). I opened up the printer and saw which cartridges were blinking. I took out one cartridge, (for example the cyan cartridge) that was blinking and replaced it with the new cyan cartridge before moving on to the next color. I was afraid that if I took them all out at once then I would forget the order. To open the replacement ink cartridge, I pulled off the yellow sticker tab that says PULL. Then I turned the orange tab counter-clockwise 90 degrees, lifted up the orange tab carefully while not pressing too hard on the sides of the cartridge. Flipped over the cartridge and inserted it into the slot. Hope that helps.

I was skeptical, because the cartridges are so very inexpensive, but they worked fine. I purchased two five packs for my Canon Pixima MG 3520. I installed them, used them up, and I'm back to purchase more. If, like I was, you are reading the reviews looking for the catch, then I don't think you will regret purchasing these. It's true, they are not OEM, and I did get a small amount of ink on my fingers removing the sticker that covers the bottom, but I wouldn't call it a leak. I think that the breather holes in the OEM cartridges have something in their design that is different from the simple hole on the tops of these cartridges. Yet, If you are careful to keep them right side up, then you shouldn't have them leaking out on your shirt through the breather hole. I like that they are transparent, so that you can see how they are put together. When the printer says the ink is out, you can pull the cartridge to see of the reservoir is truly empty. I like that. The only other thing to share is that I think these may not hold as much ink as the OEM ones so that they run out sooner. At the price, though, I just buy more cartidges. It's still cheaper than getting the OEM ink retail.
