I dislike nothing. They work great with my 4200 canon printer. First time and every timeCanon ink with a Canon photo printer on Canon paper is super high quality and extends the life of the printer.Don't buy imitation Canon ink.The only place I can find the ink is on Amazon. The product is good and looks like the geniune article. However the ink has always been pricey and it's unfortunately I still have to pay almost $200 everytime I have to buy ink, which seems too often.This ink is what I need for my printer. Quality of print is always good but the price has increased again, still cheaper than buying elsewhere.Quick delivery...great communication with seller...thank you...As describedThe original Canon inks are expensive enough to make me cringe whenever the thought of replacing them comes up ("check ink level -- ink level is low"). But I have to say that I've been using these Canon cartridges for about four years now, and they have all worked flawlessly on a whole series of paper types: plain, plain coated, heavy stock, semi gloss photographic, and high gloss premium photographic. The results are simply stunning. When printed on the right paper with an image that has been properly prepared, my Canon injet printer (I use an older model, the Canon i6600) knocks out images that far exceed what you would normally find on reproduction prints. When I see what this ink (and printer) can do, it makes me hold back my anger at the cost of replacing the ink when necessary.My printer uses six ink colors (Black, Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, Photo Cyan, and Photo Magenta). One can sometimes find a slight reduction in price by buying in sets or in multiple packs, so do your homework before you purchase. Some of the packs that offer discounts are for the larger, eight-ink printers, so if you have one of those, again, look carefully for these sets before you make a purchase so that you don't mistakenly end up with two extra colors that are not used by your printer. I have found that it pays to strategize with these purchases, rather than just purchasing the one ink that is running low at the moment. Take advantage of price reduction sets, and then build a little pile of ink cartridges at home while you wait for other inks to run out. It's a bit more "up front" cost, but can pay off over the long run. If you buy original ink like this from the manufacturer, you aren't likely to get "cheap" costs, but you can reduce the costs a little from off list.So, again, other than the high cost, I rate these Canon inks as simply excellent. They work very well, have excellent color (and generally long durability), don't seem to ever clog or cause other problems in the printer, and can really help you make the most out of your inkjet printer (particularly if you are printing photos). If all you ever do is print out color handouts for documents, you MIGHT consider an OEM or "off brand" as these distinctions won't matter as much to you. But for photo printing, I recommend these Canon inks.I have had three Canon Printers, four counting a portable printer for our Laptop, but we don't use the printer with it very often, so I am not including the ink for it in this review, only the ink in the 8-Multiple Pack Canon Ink.I have the Canon Pro9000 Mark II, and I will use nothing except Canon ink in my Canon Printers and never have used any other brand. I have no problems with these inks and they perform just fine in my Printer. I print a lot of photos and make all of my own greeting cards, so I use a lot of ink, especially at holidays when I make cards to send to friends and family, so I have to keep plenty of ink on hand! I always purchase this 8-pack because it is so economical. The price for individual ink tanks have risen so much in the few years that I have been using Canon Printers, which is at least for the past 7 years, and they are now more than triple the price for an individual tank (both of my last two Canon printers have used the eight different color tanks) so I doubt I could afford the individual tanks now. It is just the most sensible way for me to purchase my inks now that they are so high priced, which I don't like and am a bit put-out with Canon for jumping the price up so high, but I do like the quality of my Canon printers, and since I have had 2 HP printers, (still have one but seldom use it because the Canon does a better job of printing) and I know that I like the quality of printing better on the Canons, and I have read a lot of not-good reports (reviews) about Epson Printers, I know I don't want to switch to that brand, so since I do like the Canon quality and the good printing I get from them, then I must buy their ink. I get an eight-pack of ink sent to me every other month, from amazon, so for the time being, I suppose I will continue to do so, as I am satisfied with the ink. Would I like to get it cheaper? Of course I would, but not enough to compromise the quality of the print and quality of my work and I think this is the cheapest price I can get it for in today's market. If you know of a company that sells the Canon Cli-8 8 packs at a better price, please let us all know! Thanx.Alphia D. LarkinsAcworth, GeorgiaPrinter still working perfectly after 3 years (no clogging of the heads). Only problem is the price of the ink! Is it a price worth paying??? - So far, I think so!I have a very old Canon photo printer, 16 years old, and it still prints beautiful photos. It is difficult finding ink cartridges now, especially the photo cyan and photo magenta, so I replenish my supply at Amazon when needed.Muy bien, un kit completo para imprimir con la Canon 9000, todos los cartuchos en buen estado. Entregado a tiempo.Ink for my printer. Worked greatI always buy original Canon ink tanks for my main printer an I wasn't disappointed. The best way to go if you need quality prints.
