Canon PGI-250XL Black Ink (6432B001)

I cut one of my empty Cannon ink cartridges in half and discovered 2 compartments. One half was completely empty. It had never had a drop of ink in it. The side that had contained the ink, used a spongy material to distribute the ink. It was still wet with ink. There is no way of knowing if they ever completely filled that little compartment. We were in a tizzy when gasoline prices reached $4 a gallon and yet we spend, I suspect, thousands for a gallon of ink. There ought to be a law against it! If gasoline prices rise more than a dime a gallon before a hurricane, gas stations will be in violation of a gouging law. Well, if ink prices aren't gouging I don't know what is. The quality of print and photos is pretty good.The ink cartridges I refer to, are for the mediocre Cannon MX922 printer.

I use these ink cartridges for my personal printer which gets a LOT of use between myself and our 5 kids. I was so impressed with the print quality of our previous Canon printer that after it finally stopped working (after about 8 years!) I wouldn't look at any other brand for photo purposes. I've owned HP, Brother, Canon and also have an Epson for my home office. A Canon printer paired with genuine Canon ink has always provided me with the most beautiful, accurate colors for photos and images.

Ordered this ink online as replacement ink and it shipped really fast. The reason I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because this cannon printer uses way too much ink. It cleans the heads a few seconds after you print a page so if you are printing multiple documents and it takes you a few seconds to pull the next document up to print, the printer cleans the head in between and you have wasted ink. Bad design - or maybe that is what they wanted so you would have to buy more ink.
