At the time of writing, this set is being sold at £28.53. These contain 7ml of ink, comapred to the XL cartridges which are 11ml. So the equivalent price for the XL cartridges would be £28.53 x 11 / 7, which is £44.84. Amazon are selling a full set of the XL cartridges for £59.48. This does also include the PG550XL, which costs £12.45 on its own. So the equivalent cost of the XL cartidges for comparison is £59.48 - £12.45, which is £47.03. If you're still with me, you'll now have realised that buying these smaller cartridges is better value than buying the XL ones, which isn't what you would have expected.It's a different matter if you're buying individual cartridges,

As someone has said previously - how do you review ink?All I can say is that used on an MX925 all-in-one printer/scanner, I've found Canon genuine inks to produce much better photographs on glossy paper. I've previously had to junk two canon printers when 'compatible' inks blocked the print head, or produced results that were frankly rubbish. I resent paying silly money for printer ink - albeit this was the most competitive price that I found for the real mccoy - but I would never recommend using third party inks. At least on a device with separate ink tanks, you don't throw away an entire cartridge when only one colour has run out. Recommended,

Got a good canon printer and it replaced a previous one in which I used compatibles and i blame these for giving that printer and early binning. I will now buy genuine inks from canon and the quality is there. Yes its more expensive but unless your printing the magna carter Its not that expensive considering you may end up investing in another new printer if u dont use the genuine items.Also buy on amazon and the basic non XL version as they dont last much longer

Good ink cartridges, lasts well, good value (for printer inks), easy to change and no drying up of the ink. I like the way that you can just change the colour that has run out rather than, which was the case with my last printer, where you had to chage the complete colour cartridge when just one colour had run out - this used to bug me! So I'm impressed with Canon ink (and the printer).

Good value when ordered as a pack as compared to individual cartridges. However they just don't seem to last very long, even when doing 95% black and white printing, the colours cartridges seem to run out quite quickly. Not sure if this is the fault of the printer, or whether the multi-pack aren't full of ink, and maybe that explains the price difference compared to buying individually.

This should be an economical way to acquire these cartridges but the savings scarcely justify buying in bulk. The standard cartridge life is short and much greater savings can be had buying the XL ink tanks.Even then, the "XL" cartridge life is roughly the same as the previous generation (CLI-8) standard product.

Arrived promptly, well packaged both for transit and for storage. It does seem that these newer inks when combined with the latest Canon PrinterPixma 7200 series produce an even better image than previous models...or is it my imagination ! Highly Recommended.

I always buy a spare ink when fitting a cartridge to my printer, so haven't used it yet, but it arrived intact, so see no reason why it won't work perfectly when I need it. Basically, I wanted a genuine cartridge & this was the best price I could find.

I just think they are too dear , when are the printer companies come up with a reusable and refillable ink cartridge . I only bought these because my printer refused to print with the compatible ones that I had been using for the past couple of months

I have only given the product four stars and would have given it five stars but, I haven't had the necessity to use them as yet. They are Canon originals, so I feel they will prove to be first class, as with all my other Canon equipment.

The product practically arrived before it was ordered - seriously though it did arrive the following day even though the order confirmation said three to five days. Not used it yet, but assume it should be ok as it is an original ink.

Part of me regrets buying the printer because it chews ink like theres no tomorrow so I'm always looking for the best deals on the ink to make sure I don't run out. I always buy originals so I was happy with this multipack deal

The quality is as you would expect - great and never varying from full to nearly empty. The problem is the speed at which it gets to empty so not a cheap option. I'm trying the high capacity now and hope that is a lot better.

My photos came out looking good with this ink, colours are brilliant, delivery was quick , and I got quite a good few A4 photos printed, no smudges, very clear looking & professionally done, excellent!

I always buy my ink cartridges from Amazon as much cheaper than buying in local shops. Have recently changed my printer from HP to Canon - not a good change for me but the cartridges remain good value.
