Canon Pgi-525 Pgbk Ink Cartridge - Black, Packaging May Vary

Having had a variety of printers of various types and makes over the years (I was a professional photographer) and also having tried the refillable kits (got more ink on my hands !) and 3rd part offerings (which generally produced poor colour on prints) I quickly came to the conclusion that the original Canon Inks were the way to go.I do realise that they are VERY expensive and can't argue with that, but having to in the end re-do poor prints and having to buy Canon cartridges in the end anyway, what is the point of messing about with any other types ?They give consistent results, don't leak ink all over the place (I had a 3rd party one leak in my printer which made a really bad mess, which took hours to clean) and I can honestly say I have NEVER had a problem with these cartridges.The saying "You get what you pay for" certainly applied to ink cartridges, and despite the cost I know what I will always buy !

Not complaining!!! - but I only ordered 1 ink cartridge - but there were 4 shrink-wrapped-in-tough-plastic in the box. So just that no one gets in trouble in your warehouse, you can charge me for these extra 3... and I will just keep them and put to good use. (it is an easy mistake to make if you are new on the job and haven't got a proper induction into the work practices... as these 4 were tightly shrink-wrapped with the label for a black 525 ink cartridge showing...)p.s. there seems to be no option to give seller feedback on items that are "Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L." leaving product review as the only option!?

Good quality cartridges for your Canon printer, easy to install and remove the packaging from the cartridges.As the saying goes, with these newer printers you end up paying more for the inks than the printer themselves and that’s definitely the case with these. They’re quite expensive! Also you get a "low ink warning" long before they actually run out!Also one other little niggle with these is the amount of plastic used to wrap these up, it’s really overkill!

Great quality (genuine) product and at a good price. I try and always go for genuine compatible products simply because you know what you are getting is going to the job properly. I have tried cheaper alternatives in the past which sometimes end up being false economy. If they are an extremely good price and work well than ok, but if they run out more quickly and you end up buying another one as cheaply then ok, but what is the point of that?! Very pleased with product.

I bought these inks for my Canon MG5250 printer because as usual Amazon was the cheapest. The ink arrived promptly, perfectly packaged in it's sealed outer packaging and cellophane wrap and as usual no problems. As another reviewer has written, I am no expert on inks etc just a normal home user who prints a stupid amount of pictures of their child so keeps running out of ink! I do agree that they are a little pricey but I had a Kodak printer before this one that ended up costing even more to run on one ink cartridge at a time than the five that the MG5250 takes as every time you turned it on it would do a run (don't know the technical name for it) and use up ink even when you weren't printing but were scanning. I have been very sad and sat down and kept a tally of how many prints I have gotten out of the Canon as opposed to the Kodak before having to change the ink cartridge and the Canon one has still come out cheaper despite five ink cartridges. I would definitely recommend the Canon MG5250.

Well these are the genuine Canon ink cartridges. I have never found compatible cartridges as good as original manufacturer's ones when printing photographs. I get better colour reproduction and less fading under light from original cartridges. They were delivered promptly, well packaged and arrived without any damage.As a number of other reviewers have commented, these cartridges are disappointingly expensive when you consider the size. This is particularly noticeable for me coming from an Epsom photo printer which used far bigger cartridges. I do get excellent pictures from my Pixma, but if I was buying a new printer today, I would not make the same choice.

I have a Canon Printer for photographs so I always use Genuine Canon inks as they do a fabulous job, excellent results!! Though I do find inks a tad expensive

I have used these cartridges for years. For the first time one leaked onto my new carpet. I suspect it was old stock. Watch out for apparently cheap bargains!
