 good buy November 12, 2008
this is a decent buy for the money.I would like to be able to get all the colors for the same low price, however.
 Cheaper color ink November 4, 2008
I love the cannon ink cartridge because your color ink is cheaper. You only buy the color you are out of instead of a whole cartridge. Also their price of ink is much cheaper than what I was paying with my last printer.
 Ink goes too quickly November 2, 2008
The ink, and the printer it goes into, works ok. The problem is that the ink gets used up too quickly, so the lifetime cost of using this ink with an associated printer is VERY high. Even printing black text soaks up some of the other colors of ink. Buy a printer that uses this ink only if you have deep pockets.
Such a Deal! (Why we should all own Hummers) November 1, 2008

I ordered this 2-pack 40 days ago and paid almost 5% more for it, so best not hesitate. On the other hand, I notice some Canon printers that have depreciated as much as 50% in price since I purchased them. Face it, the printers are mere "loss leaders" for companies like Canon. Once you buy one, you might as well be a subscriber to a monthly ink-supply plan run by the company. And bear in mind that black #5 is merely one of 5 cartridges required by a Canon 4200 printer. (The only consolation is that black #8 takes 4 times longer to run out than the remaining 4 cartridges.)
The government might be able to save GM if they followed a similar model. Sell those Hummers (along with every other guzzler currently piling up in car dealers' lots) for a drastic discount: let's say ten grand apiece (but advertise a "limited supply" to assure a complete sell-out). Now give control of the oil companies to GM (or at least work out an arrangement that would allow the car-makers to set fuel prices and receive a portion of the profits--after all, what's Exxon, Conoco and Chevron without cars?) In fact, if the cost of gas soon rivals that of a new car, as is currently the case with ink cartridges and printers, you'll see two enormous benefits: 1. consumers will continue to drive their luxurious (and real big) American-made vehicles just as they saw their parents do, thus providing a regular and dependable, bottom-line profit margin to the endangered domestic auto manufacturers; 2. consumers at the same time will start to drive a lot less, thus conserving rapidly depleting oil reserves not to mention the air we breathe and the life of the planet.
It's time to stop kidding ourselves: forcing Detroit to manufacture lightweight mobile tin cans that deliver only slightly improved mpg is no long-time solution. Bringing back the Eldorado, the Roadmaster, the Olds 98 and Tornado makes more sense, if not cents, for just about all of us.
 WELL . . . October 28, 2008

WORKS GREAT, BUT WHY DOES IT COST SO MUCH? IT'S AS IF CANON SELLS THEIR PRINTERS CHEAP SO THEY CAN SCREW US IN THE INK. AND I'VE TRIED REFILL INK KITS AND STAPLES' REFILL, BUT FOR SOME REASON THE QUALITY ISN'T VERY GOODS.
