Combo pack that makes sense - a good value for OEM ink
By JB
I've taken issue with Canon ink cartridges for the fact that over time the capacities have shrunk dramatically. For example, older tanks like the Canon CLI-8 were 13ml capacity, the later gen Canon CLI-221 shrunk to 9ml, and the most recent Canon CLI-251 shrunk even further to 7ml. Note that this isn't just a Canon issue; the incredible shrinking ink cartridge has affected HP and Epson as well, perhaps even more so than Canon.

So I appreciate the fact that Canon kept the capacity of these new CLI-42 tanks at 13ml. This makes them a reasonable value - even if these cartridges cost somewhat more than the newer tanks mentioned above, the cost per ml is much less. And by using OEM ink, you'll get the best results and least headaches printing on Canon printers like the Canon PIXMA Pro-100 Color Professional Inkjet Photo Printer.

Another plus for the CLI-42 is that these tank are clear, allowing you to eyeball the remaining ink levels. Most other current Canon ink tanks are opaque; with these you must rely on the printer to tell you when to replace the ink, and occasionally printers get it wrong and tell you a tank is empty when it isn't.

As for the combo sold here, it contains all of the inks required to use the Pro-100, without missing ink tanks or unneeded throw-ins like a few sheets of 4x6 paper. And it saves you about $10 over the cost of buying the tanks individually.

It's ink
By DKK
Not much to say - it's ink. Combined with the Pro-100 it produces wonderful prints!
Based on price the 8 pack is the way to go.

Excellent ink makes beautiful prints, but expensive.
By Les Barry
Excellent ink makes beautiful prints, but expensive. The PIXMA Pro-100 printer works great, flexible, easy to use, excellent color prints, good monochrome prints.

Sealed ink cartridge in OEM box
By brian
Want to clarify, there is a photo up top and top reviews indicating that these are not OEM cartridges. This was NOT my experience. I received it in a typical amazon cardboard package with the easy open rip strip, fully protected, inside was an OEM unopened, sealed, canon cartridge. This was sold by AMAZON, who with prime was the cheapest option I saw. Other sellers will vary, but if you want OEM ink at a good price, choose amazon and dont worry.

MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT SIZE
By Suzie B.
I had no idea that my printer had two black cartridges: one small tank and one large tank. I ordered this small one thinking it was the same as the large one. I ended up ordering a set of the entire inks, but I did need to replace this smaller black ink tank soon after replacing the large. You don't get much print time from this ink, but not any worse than all the other printers I've owned, this is how they make their millions, selling ink.

Real ink
By Eric L
I've had problems with cheap ink so now I just buy the manufacturer recommended ink. Its pricey but it works every time and avoiding the ink quality roulette is worth it to me.

Expensive, but worth it!!
By Gerald Knipe
I know this OEM ink is expensive, but the quality of this ink can't be matched by the NONOEMS. If you care about the quality of your prints, this the way to go. I have used all kinds of after market products, and no matter what they claim about their quality, they just can't compare to oem. I also ended up with clogged print heads and at least 1 trashed printer. Photo output with this ink is gorgeous, and the color tones are just right. You also save a few bucks with this 4 pack.

You will need plently
By William D. Funk
I have a new Canon MX 860 printer. It is set on grayscale, fast. Rarely ever print in color, but this machine goes through the ink much more quickly than any other copier I have had. The manual says the copier will use color ink even in the grayscale mode. Be prepared to buy copious amounts of ink. Consumer Reports rated this printer tops, a recommended buy. They did not mention high ink consumption.

OEM Canon Ink
By Keith Oliver
I moved up to a MP620 from a previous Canon printer. While I'll admit with the previous post that the ink wells are smaller, but they also use less drops of ink than my older model and gives out a MUCH better picture. And if you install the software that comes with the MP620, it will pop up showing a low cartridge, then click the exclamation above the tank, it will give you the part number needed. You can even click the 'about ink' button and will give you a nice large printable list of the ink part numbers.
I'll admit I still use local print shops for large quantities of 4x6 images, but single 4x6 or any other I can print with very pleasing results.
NOTE: The Canon Photo print software gives a more true to life color than either Photoshop or Lightroom. I know something needs to be changed in the Adobe software, but I haven't figured it out yet.
