Canon CLI-221 Genuine Four Color Pack, Compatible with MP980, MP560, MP620, MP640, MP990, MX860, MX870, iP4600, iP3600, and iP4700 Printers

I have learned the hard way from buying cheaper off generic brand ink compatible cartridges (Epson & Canon) only to have my printer clogged up or leaking with ink that ruined a couple of good printers. Yes, the off brand inks will work for awhile, but will produce slight color variations in the finished quality print and eventually WILL CLOG your print heads and leak. Printers are much cheaper now and YES, the price of NAMED BRAND ink cartridges cost as much as the printer but that's the price of QUALITY CONTROL to maintain your printer working in top form for many years. I purchased the CLI-221 (4pk COLOR INK) and the CLI-220 (3pk BLACK INK)for the third time in a row without any problems. To me this is a lot cheaper than the head aches and time consumed measured in hours or days of not completing a print job and the mess of cleaning from a clogged or leaking print head inside my nice printer that is now worthless. Also add the time that it takes to drive (gasoline) to a local store and get a new printer to replace your clogged or leaking printer. If you want to save some serious bucks go to AMAZON for the best ink prices and best printers prices too, if time is not of the essence and still no tax and with FREE SHIPPING to my house! I will not compromise my time nor quality ever again, to save a few dollars that will cost me triple the amount including a new printer to replace from a clogged or leaking printer by using off brand generic ink compatible cartridges. THANK YOU AMAZON FOR A SUPER DEAL ON A GENUINE CANON PRODUCT!

Excellent color reproduction, expensive but worth the price

Great ink for Canon printer!

The Canon ink that I buy hasn't let me down so far in terms of print quality, so I have no complaint there. The printed output looks good, and the ink cartridges are (so far) still readily available. The issue that I have is how the ink is used up faster than I'd expect it to be.I read a consumer reporting magazine article which noted that one of most expensive fluids on earth (by unit volume) is printer ink. Even the cheapest ink in replacement cartridges is about $13 per ounce, which I gather is more than twice the cost (by unit volume) of Dom Pérignon Champagne. The most costly ink costs close to $95 per ounce. Reportedly, this is why some printer manufacturers don't provide full ink cartridges with a new inexpensive printer, as they can more quickly make their money back when you buy their ink.In any case, it's best to print as many jobs one after another as possible, since ink gets used up every time the printer prepares to print after some period of being idle. My printer still works fine after more than a decade, so I'll stick with it as long as I can.

Great value

Original product as expected.

Prompt shipment in intact factory packaging and correct for my MP560 printer. Have not used any of the ink cartridges yet but I've never been disappointed in original Canon products.

We purchased a Canon MP 560 last winter from Amazon and have been very pleased with its performance. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the proprietary software used for scanning: it's very limited compared to what was available on the computer...I just haven't been able to get the scanner to work without utilizing the Canon linkage.This set of cartridges is the second we have purchased since we bought the printer (and it may be some time before I have to start using it), so we're not going through ink all that quickly. The shelf life of the cartridges seems good, and I like that you can actually see that the old cartridge is empty when you go to replace it. Of course, the quality of Canon ink is super, and the feedback you get from paying extra for that little chip in the cartridge is a nice feature. And the price for the four-pack was pretty good. We've had zero issues with clogged heads, dried-up ink, etc.

Excelente servicio y rapidez, cumple con las especificaciones descritas por el proveedor, El producto en buenas condiciones y nuevo. Excelente!

I haven't printed anything in colors since I bought this, which was about 3 months ago. This week, while printing, there was a warning that cartridges needed to be changed. No, I don't recommend this item.
