I have a Canon ImageClass 6550. I have used it to make copies of my notes and homework for a class I teach in Chemistry because I am not compensated for it. With 28 students and making printout of homework that altogether consist of 8-19 pages 28 times (224-532 pages) which uses up the cartridge fast. I also make printouts of my notes which could be 30-60 pages per chapter (840-1680 pages). This uses up the cartridge fast. Alternatively, when I make copies the density is too high and I have to lower it manually. Moreover, I have to take the cartridge out and reshake it several times; otherwise I get white streaks on printout. So switching between copying and printout is not without problems. So I dislike using the 6550 for copies because I believe it uses up the cartridge faster. Moreover for the same usage of about 3000 pages, I can use an HP 1320 with a cartridge that costs $76 from HP. This Canon cartridge costs $155 and is slowly rising. The Canon cartridge strikes me as being doubly expensive. Which would you rather pay, $155 to Canon or $76 to HP for 3000 pages? I think the cartridge is not competitive in price and performance compared to HP.

the best price on web, i learned a lesson, bargain toners almost runied our new machine, as it leaks the toner powder inside machine. never agin would i buy a cheaper one, and amazon has the best price for them

Sure, they work fine (thus 2 stars instead of 1), but toner is a crock. These guys sell the machines at a loss to make up their profits in the consumables (toner) and that is lame.

I buy a new cartridge when I have to, but I refill (or send it off to be refilled) whenever possible. Spending this much for a toner cartridge makes me cry, and we copy on the lightest legible setting.

This review is for Canon 106 Cartridge for Canon imageCLASS MF6500 Series. As I have found with all the Canon products I've owned, these are rather expensive, but are of excellent quality. Having owned other, less expensive, and having been disappointed by them, I always opt for a Canon product if one is available in my price range. The toner, of course, is part of the bargain. I never use non-Canon toner. While expensive, I feel the quality of the outcome is worth the price. I would, and do, recommend Canon to anyone considering a printer / copier purchase.

I like this cartridge mostly because it lasts so long. It also produces excellent prints. Have not even tried any others for my machine because I was so satisfied with this product.

So called compatible cartridges are much cheaper to buy but repairing damage they do to my Canon printers has cost hundreds of dollars. So in the long run it's more economical to use only cartridges made by the original manufacturer (Canon).

I will be re-ordering this from now on. The quality and the price are just right,

Not sure how much I can say about a print cartridge. Either it works, or it doesn't. This works. Installation is fast and easy, so no complaints. Lasts about as long as they claim it should. Obviously it would be a lot nicer if it were half the price, but that's how the manufacturers sell their printers at ridiculously low prices -- they make it up on the cartridges.

This is the lowest price I have found for this product. The big-name stores charge over $30 more. I have purchased 3 now and all were excellent quality, delivered quickly, no problems at all.

A wonderful and efficient machine to work complicated documents like double-sided printing and pdf. The ink is high volume and Amazon has the best price.
