Can’t say much about the product apart from ‘always buy originals’. You get what you pay for and with Canon originals the value for money is excellent. Don’t be fooled by the estimated cartridge life though. If you have a 600 series Pixma like me you can easily reset the ‘ink low’ warning and continue printing. I regularly get 10-15% more out of the cartridge than the system suggests. Always keep a spare though for when it does finally run out. Happy printing.

It’s better value than buying in the shops, there was free delivery (unlike some of the others) and it came pretty promptly so I have no complaints.

Purchased two cartridges over Christmas, both delivered on time and as described.Savings over high street significant, I will continue to buy all my cartridges here.

I have used the cheap compatible inks, and while the other colours including the thinner black cartridge (521) produce fine print outs, I highly recommend the genuine PGI-520. This ink produces the high quality, sharp and true black needed for printing photographs and printing on non-matt media. Substitute the other colours with compatible inks, but don’t scrimp on this one. I can say this from experience as I am a stationer and very often print on non-matt paper and card, as well as p-rint a lot of photos. The quality and difference is hugely noticeable.

So why did you buy this original cartridge if you then complain it is not value for money. Seems to me you are just advertising the other company. The reason I buy original canon inks is because they work better and if you use canon paper the colours appear as they are supposed to. Unlike cheaper copy inks.
