Good printer ink, always try to use factory ink and these are with a good price. I bought all the colors and paper at the same time all good price and free shipping. Save gas driving to local stores.

I use this ink for my every day printing needs and sometimes for picture printing. The quality is great and the colors are vivid. Canon has a great line of printing products, and I would recommend to buy original inks, since they provide better quality.

Only a few things to say, fantastic color, lots of ink and it lasts. As mentioned in the title, this is a genuine, non-refilled Canon ink cartridge so you are getting the best!

This item - Canon CLI-8C Cyan Ink Tank - arrived safely and in a timely manner. And it was a good overall transaction. Thanks!

I have not tried this product yet but it arrived in a non-Canon package by shipper different than listed in original order (Ink Express). Ink Tank came in a bubble package claiming to be from a Canon Asset Recovery program whatever that is. Doubt this is a true Canon product.

Very pleased with price, quality and how quick I got my item. I had shopped all over the internet and stores, and this was the best price I found.

Real Canon ink simply works. Consistent color, never clogs.
Unfortunately, the capacity of these CL8 cartridges is very low and they are drastically overpriced.

As always, very expensive, but much cheaper than local office supply stores and ordered in quantity you even ge free shipping. Canon inks are the best and I warn you against ever trying the cheaper "compatible" inks...they are total crap.

Excellent genuine ink from Canon for the excellent price. Very fast FREE delivery. You can not beat this deal!!!!!!

I have a Canon Photo Printer which takes six CLI-8 Canon Ink Cartridges. The cost of each individual ink cartridge ranges from around $14-15 (on Amazon) to 18.99 in Staples. So no matter how you buy the genuine Canon Ink Cartridges keeping yourself ready to print photos is expensive.

You can get a better per cartridge of you buy them in Canon CLI-8 4-Color Multipack Ink Tanks. In that case each individual cartridge is a little less expensive. Canon package CL-8C (Cyan), CL-8M (Magenta), CL-8Y (Yellow), and CL-8BK (Black) as a pack ($40-44 on Amazon). When cartridges are sold in packs you might think those colors are used at similar rates... but that is not so.

I have kept track of the usage of the cartridges over a long period of time and would like to share these results with you.

Number of cartridges used

CL-8M Magenta = 5

CL-8Y Yellow = 8

CL-8B Black = 6

CL-8PC Photo Cyan = 6

CL-8PM Photo Magenta = 8


My usage shows that yellow is used the most, followed closely by Photo Magenta, followed next by Black and Photo Cyan, and trailed by Cyan and Magenta. Note that I have a laser printer that I used for text otherwise the usage of the Black Cartridge would have been a lot higher.

I buy most of my color photo ink on-line from Amazon. However now that Staples began (again) accepting CL-8 cartridges for Staples Rewards in their recycling empty cartridges program, I wanted to analyze my usage to see which cartridges I should buy at Staples using my Staples Rewards.

My original thought was to buy Canon CLI-8PC Photo Cyan Ink Tank and Canon CLI-8PM Photo Magenta Ink Tank since they don't come in a pack. But given the usage chart above, it is clear that I should buy extra Yellow and Photo Magenta.
