I like a few others I am sure, have tried other ways of saving money on cartridges for printers (filling them yourself or cheap alternatives) but ther has always been some snag with those, not working to start with, drying out very easily, leaking all over the printer, and the worst thing of all poor quality prints that fade !Having been a professional photographer I needed prints that clients would be happy with, and I never found that with the alternatives.A couple of years ago, I printed a landscape with cheap inks, and one with Canon Inks, 3 months later the cheap one had changed colour, especially the greens and reds.About a year on I printed the landscape again (same Canon Printer and same Canon A4 paper)

As you should expect, genuine canon ink is really good. I use it in my iX6550 printer and it does really nice photos. I've tried it with canon matte photo paper with great results but it costs a fortune together. I noticed the best color is when you set the printer for photo paper but standard print mode instead of the "best" setting. I think it also saves some ink too which is a real bonus. For the price though, I felt these cartridges actually lasted quite awhile for as many deeply colored prints as I've done on large format paper.Even with sporadic use, I haven't had any clogged nozzles which I've experienced with genuine HP ink in another printer before.

I am extremely happy with the Canon printer and don't use it excessivley so have no qualms about paying for original inks. I find the colours to be very good if printing photos and I often use different types of paper and card. I've never had any problems with smudging, bleeding or leaking cartridges. I like the indicator lights on the cartridges, helps make change-over reasonably foolproof. With this order, for various reasons, I had wanted a boxed set of inks. Mine came from Bentham Ltd, not boxed. They appear to be in good order but I cannot tell until I am ready to use each of them.

I tried third party replacement inks last time around and wasn't convinced the nozzles on them were working properly as the Cyan ran out much quicker than the other colours. So decided to go for the Canon brand inks this time. Quality seems good but you can't help getting the feeling that they sell the printers (and this isn't restricted to Canon) cheaply to suck you into spending a fortune on ink for ever more. Seems crazy to me that you can buy a brand new printer, with all the inks and some sample paper, for not very much more than a full pack of inks would cost.

Received this pack within a few days of ordering and very pleased to see an original canon package which inside contained 3 genuine and original ink cartridges. So as far as I'm concerned it's a good deal. They are cheaper than the shops and will use again.*** Have now made at least 5 seperate orders of this ink pack and on each occasion the ink has been excellent quality. They arrive in exactly the same packaging as shown in the above picture and are always sealed. Excellent value. ***

These are very good, but they are also very expensive. As I had a lot of prints to do after a big family party, I also purchased some compatible inks, from Moreinks, and as the Canon inks ran out I fitted the compatible cartridges, until all the Canon ones had been replaced and quite honestly I saw no difference in the quality of the prints. Whether they will maintain their colours as well as the Canon ones, only time will tell, but for now I am converted to the compatibles.

I have always been a fan of generic inks for my various printers until, that is, until I bought my Canon printer. Cheaper inks just dont give the correct colour balance and print quality performance that Canon inks do. The 526 multipack is at a great price on Amazon £29-07, the closest price is at tesco at £39-95, with Sainsburys a close third at £42-00.With free delivery the Amazon price is as unbeatable as the print and photo quality.

Really good quality cartridges for your Canon printer, easy to install and remove the packaging from the cartridges.As the saying goes, with these newer printers you end up paying more for the inks than the printer themselves and that’s definitely the case with these. They’re quite expensive!One other niggle I have with these particular cartridges is the amount of plastic used to wrap these up, it’s overkill!

These Canon ink cartridges are good value, the packaging is better than the normal multi colour ink sets. No sharp plastic here, much easier to open with scissors too, if like me you have limited strength in your hands. Less room needed to store them, I find that usually the packaging is quite bulky, but not with this packaging. Will try & buy this type again when I nedd to replace the ink cartridges next time.

Ordered these for my Canon MG6150 printer as spares when required. I had previosly ordered the Grey Ink Cartridge again as a spare. The Cartridges are genuine Canon and were delivered in good order and on time (inspite of the recent weather). The supplier kept me informed of progress of the orders and is also very competitive on price. I will buy again when more stock is needed

I think we are all caught in the cheap printer/pricy cartridges scenario but to have them delivered door to door next day has been a godsend to me this past year, having been caught up in a legal wrangle over a deceased relatives affairs, I have been copying everything for my own peace of mind - so ink cartidges are being used more than normal & its handy having them so close

The product is totally fine it's just the new policy that Amazon has introduced only allowing it to be purchased at this price as a prime member, otherwise it can't be bought. Great! I've been buying it from Amazon for this price for ages as a non prime member. Ok Amazon, your loss! Off I go to my local Rymans. They have good deals too without the catch.

I always use original Canon cartridges after a bad experience with a "compatible". I'm sure there are perfectly good compatibles available, but I'm not willing to risk it after one jammed in my printer. Original is excellent quality, reliable, good price, quick delivery, but don't believe it when printer announces "ink may have run out".

You can't really get better. I must confess I haven't really tried the 'Canon clone' cartridges for quite some time now. I just find that the colours from the real canon refills are great and I get great quality colour prints from my printer. No they're not cheap - but I seem to remember neither was colour developing and printing (DIY).

This ink gives excellent printouts, photo's look great. Ihe ink is expensive but this is the third printer I've had and ink for all of them seems expensive to me so it's impossible for me to give a definitive opinion on price. The product came quickly and was well packaged and the price was as good as I've seen for these inks
