After a while I was getting terrible quality printout, and I thought the print head had gone. The first question the repair guy asked me was "do you use Compatible ink cartridges?". It took me a week of soaking & cleaning with alcohol to get the head working again. Compatible inks use water as a medium, whereas genuine inks use a more stable medium which doesn't dry out quickly. So I now use only genuine ink in my printer. They cost far too much, and Canon use price maintenece, so are never discounted, but they always work in the printer, are problem free output, and don't dry out. So I give these inks 5* for performance, but 3* for value as they almost cost the same as the printer to replace. The XL give better value than the standard, and it's not as though I'm going through lots of cartridges in a year. And it's actually cheaper to buy black & colour XL with photo prints paper cheaper than just buying the cartridges alone. I think the price fixing goes against anti-trust (USA) legislation and EU fair trading laws on competition, but as I'm in post-Brexit UK it looks like I'm stuck with it. Anyway, congrats to Canon on an excellent product, if a premium price. Review: Good quality - Bought to replace. Good quality ## Features - Contains 1.2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one.
