Never had a problem with any of the many inks i have purchased. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ALWAYS BUY THE PGI-550XL/CLI-551XL'S CARTRIDGES, NEVER THE PGI-550/CLI-551 STARTER ONES!! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 December 2013* When Canon sell you a new printer (Pixma MG5450) they only give you starter cartridges with it which hold a very small amount of ink in them PGI-550 black and CLI-551 colour cartridges c/m/y (STARTER CARTRIDGES). I was using about 3 black and 2 each of the colours cartridge per month and it was costing me a small forturne. I later found out that Canon do a higher yield versions of the PGI-550 and CLI-551 cartridges which cost only a few pounds more but hold far more ink in them than the starter cartridges which I was using before. What you need is a PGI-550XL on the black which hold 22mls of ink rather than the 15mls of ink that is in the black starter cartridge and on the colour what you should be using is CLI-551XL cartridges which holds 11mls each colour rather than the 7mls which is in the colour starter cartridges. I can even go one better, I now use a company called advantage online who stock the Canon originals PGI-550/CLI-551XL's plus do British premium compatible PGI-550XL and CLI-551XL cartridges which hold a impressive 25mls black and 12mls per colour. I have used them a couple of times so far and have been quite impressed. I hope you don't fall into the Canon trap of selling a very good printer (Pixma MG5450) at a very cheap price and then trying to charge you load of money for starter cartridges which are nearly empty.... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what it says on the tin *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 10 November 2016* Came fairly quickly, and significantly cheaper than elsewhere (though I have noticed a lot of places are now just selling the inks in packs where you get the all the colours, which may or may not include black - if I wanted to buy my colours together I'd have bought a printer with combined cartridges; the yellow lasts a lot longer than cyan or magenta). It's just your standard Canon ink cartridge which never lasts very long even though this is the high yield variety. According to Which? Canon are meant to be one of the cheaper companies for ink, it just never feels like it - and sometimes you don't get much notice it's running out. I would never recommend printing with non-branded inks, especially if you are printing photos (which I do) or using more expensive papers (which I also do). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48506136-canon-inkjet-printer-black-pack-of-1-fade-resistant](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48506136-canon-inkjet-printer-black-pack-of-1-fade-resistant) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
