Canon PG-245 Black Ink (8279B001)

This is the first time in almost 10 years that I have bought a replacement ink cartridge instead of buying a new printer. Printers have become so reasonably priced, it is usually cheaper to buy a printer with cartridges than the replacements themselves. Thankfully this is now not true. I grabbed this cartridge at a very low price and don't have to recycle another printer. Cannon cartridges are great and easy to install. The store had them in stock and I was on my way. Glad the price has finally gone down. Exchange discount on the old cartridge as well. Works perfectly and does the trick for me.

It is an ink cartridge.....worked fine. I ordered a 245 ( black ) and a 246 ( color )....both standard size....... I was looking for two large capacity cartridges but didn't know their numbers. Each of the two standard cartridges arrived before the announced time....but on different days from different places. That surprised me but it worked OK for me..........I got rid of a working HP printer and replaced it with a Canon from Best Buys because the HP ink was hard to find and way too expensive especially when there were often defective cartridges....So all is well....... Thanks ....joe

There's honestly not much to say if you own a Canon printer like I do; it gets the job done, but don't expect it to perform beyond one's basic needs. Ink cartridges have their notoriety for being more expensive than they should, so both the color and the standard black ink cartridges are going to be the cheapest one is going to get. Installation is fairly easy, since your printer should automatically line up the slots where you need to install this cartridge, and they're practically ready for use about a minute later once the printer realigns itself after closing it up.
