5.0 out of 5 stars Genuine Canon Ink and Paper - what a deal!, September 4, 2010

Canon makes excellent ink and photo paper so this ink/paper combo is almost the best of two worlds, quality and economy. I've never had any negative issues with either Canon inks or photo paper so I have no negative comments about them. I made a costly error a number of years ago by using non-OEM ink to save a buck. Saving a buck on ink cost me a printer which gummed up and quit working due to poor quality ink. Lesson learned, stick with Canon OEM ink for your Canon printer.

Why did I say this combo was "almost" the best of two worlds? What you receive with this combo are CLI-221 tanks in cyan, magenta, & yellow and the PGI 220 black tank as well as 50 sheets of Canon glossy photo paper. You DO NOT get the CLI 221 black ink which is required for the MP-560 and some other Canon printers. I didn't read as thoroughly as I should have and thought I was getting all four CLI 221 tanks. My MP 560 requires both the pigment-based and dye-based black ink cartridges (pigment for text and dye for photo printing). As I said, it was totally my fault for not reading thoroughly but I do wonder how many others may have made the same mistake. It's an easy fix, just order a CLI 221 black tank.

Regardless of my error, it is still an excellent value for which you get Canon quality for ink and paper.

3.0 out of 5 stars It is not a real COMBO PACK, November 3, 2010

This Combo Pack doesn't come with the CLI-221 black cartridge. If you don't pay attention to it, you buy presuming it is complete.
This review is an alert. If you want a complete set of cartidges, you have to buy with this COMBO an extra CLI-221 black cartidge.

4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't include CLI-221 BLACK, August 19, 2010

Great deal, but it wasn't clear that this set does not include the CLI-221 Black cartridge, which is needed for the Mx860 model and probably others. Seems odd that they would include 4 out of 5 cartridges required for the printer.
