if you want the very best prints then use this genuine Canon ink.Why spend a fortune on your Camera gear/Computer/Screen calibrater/Printer/Paper only to buy Non Genuine ink to spoil the prints and potentially kill the printer..The ink lasts a good while But Like most things in Photography, You pay a premium. £ 90 is a complete rip off for ink.... Then again.....so is paying £2000 for a lens...Suck it up - pay the money- enjoy your prints.

Initially I thought £75 or so was very expensive for ink, but once I used it and saw how it last and worked out how much money I could make from the prints I am very pleased.I managed to print 30 A3 prints half B&W half colour before running out of ink, and that was only black, light grey and dark grey that I ran out of, the rest of the ink was almost all full. It cost me £16 for 30 sheets of high quality photo paper. So I worked out that I sell A3 prints for £12, which multiplied by 30 is £360, so spending £100 on Ink and paper really didn't seem like much.This means selling two lots of prints (30 and 30) would pay for the Ink to cover all 60 prints, the paper AND the printer (Canon Pro 100).Amazon is the cheapest, most secure place to buy this Ink in the UK, I certainly couldn't find any cheaper, so If you are looking at this ink questioning whether to buy the printer that requires this ink then I would say, don't worry, it lasts.

they are a lot of money and seem to get used very quickly however the quality of the prints are always top notch and having spent the money on a decent printer it seems daft not to spend the money on decent ink

As one would expect these are top notch cartridges. However they are expensive hence 4 stars, I have no choice but to buy them as non genuine cartridges destroyed my previous printer.

I would always recommend the original Canon cartridges if you require accurate colour rendition when printing photographs and using Canon printers. It does make a difference although none of us like the price we have to pay.. Why are they so expensive?

£58 is not cheap, and you know that they're diddling you. However - they do go quite a long way, and Canon actually guarantee the quality of the photos for about 30 years. I have a Canon Pixma Pro 100s, and when I printed out my first pics, I was blown away by the quality. For all the pro's, I have to say that the blacks are slightly out - but with a bit of fine tuning in Lightroom, it's OK. Anyway, if your'e a dedicated B and W person, your'e probable loaded, so go for the top of the range Epson printers - they're better at this. I have an older printer that I use ink from a third party in - they're good, but not as good as these. Well recommended, and I reckon kind of worth paying the extra money.

We all know that manufacturers make more money out of their ink and paper than they do on the original purchase of a printer.I had a HP Photosmart printer and used compatible cartridges for it. Although they worked fine and did not clog the print heads, the colour was never quite right and the prints came out too darkWhen I bought a Pixma Pro 100, I made the decision to use only Canon inks (I'm not sure you can buy compatibles anyway). Now the prints come out exactly as I see them on my calibrated monitor.These inks may not be cheap but they are definitely worth it if you value your work.

There's only one canon photo printer, cartridges are just the best, yes expensive but why compromise, best colours require best inks!
