Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Amazon.com has one of the lowest prices for this product. Office depot also sells this product online for $[...], but watch out - if you go to the retail store they have it priced for $[...]. I mentioned this price discrepancy to the checkout clerk who was nice enough to verify the online price on the store computer and honor the $[...] price.
The only reason that I am giving this product **** is because the ink tanks, especially the black, get used up pretty quickly. And good luck with the check/clean print nozzle function, because that will drain the ink tanks even faster.
But don't substitute - don't use the generic brands. I had been using the Office Depot brand. I was paying less for the generic ink and the print quality was the same as the Canon inks. But then my printhead nozzle started clogging up. A whole series of nozzle clean funtions were unsuccessful - I went through one color ink and two black ink tanks while doing that. Somebody told me to pull out the printhead and let it soak in about 1/2 inch of warm water in a bowl for a few hours. The clog in the printhead did not go away. I called Canon to find out the price of a new printhead and was shocked to find out that the printhead would cost me more than the price I had paid for the printer itself. Somebody else told me that the clog could be because of the crappy Office Depot ink. So I bought the Canon ink package, did the nozzle clean test a couple of times, and, no more clogs! That was a year ago. Have been buying only Canon ink since and keeping away from generics. Print quality is good.
Bottomline - Use brand name inks, pay more, but most likely avoid printhead problems; or buy Office Depot/Staples store brand inks, pay less, but possibly end up with a headache.
