We buy only the value packs as the inks all deplete at a constant rate across the cartridges. Also the visual indicator inside the cartridge means I don't have to weigh them on a postal scale anymore to see if they "really" are empty. Overall the 9500 from canon is a GREAT value prints are simply excellent!

The Pixma 9500 printer offers the best image quality one can receive in a mostly affordable printer, even better than the corner photo lab (because you can tweak the colors yourself!) These inks manufactured by Canon offer the best image quality one can expect from the printer, with no hassles. The few times I bother with third party ink, I was always disappointing with the color quality, so if you care at all about color reproduction, I highly recommend these Canon OEM inks, you wont be disappointing.

The colors produced by the Canon Pro 9500 & these pigment inks are absolutely fantastic.....BUT........... they still need to find a way to get the photo (GLOSS) black to have that shiny look that comes with their dye based inks. I am a photographer & almost half of my work is done in black & white, especially if it involves automobiles, motorcycles or anything else that is metallic. Nothing makes those subjects look better than a nice shiny gloss print with a bright & shiny black "paint" job. Let's go Canon, you can do better than this.

I've purchased two of these. While the per-tank cost is lower that buying individually, it doesn't make the tanks last any longer - my Canon 9500 drinks these things like water.
Also, in both orders, many of the tanks in the box have not been wrapped in the individual factory plastic bags. Normally the stuff doesn't get a chance to sit around in my office and dry out (see above), but I certainly can see where that could be a problem.

The Canon Pro9500 Mark II is by far one of the best printers on the market for photos. The large format and 10 tanks will produce just about anything you can imagine. But that is where it ends. Canon should put on every description that this printer is not for everyday use. It does not print regular text well, or rather, it's so insanely expensive to print, you won't want to. And extremely slow. When one ink tank goes out, by the time it goes through the process, it's drained at least 2 more. One Set of ink is right at $125. That's just plain insulting.
Oh, and no where does it say it's limited to regular paper only, in other words, it won't even print an envelope and there is nothing in the print driver system to let it. That is terrible. But as in the beginning, it's one of the best photo printers out there. And 13X19 is awesome, just hold on to your pocketbook. FlamethrowerOne.com

I got a 10 pack of generic ink cartridges and none of them worked properly there was a print that only used 4 different inks or I couldn't get anything to work so I got a different brand they had most of the same problems incorrect ink levels some the printer couldn't find them so after 3 tries with generics I am sticking with canon it cost a little more but you know it will work every time and you don't have rainbow color fingers.

Priced fair, Canon original product & true color rendition this product on Amazon is a GOOD BUY!

Mailing charges reasonable!

This is by far the best way to buy ink for the Pixma Pro 9500 Mark II. It's too much hassle buying inks individually, and more expensive, so go for the set - you'll need all the colors at some stage.

I have never had a problem with Canon inksets. Print heads stay clean, colors are consistent, smooth and well saturated. Refilled tanks and "bargain brands" simply do not work as well. The only drawback is price - But I guess it is true you get what you pay for.

I will buy only manufacturer's ink after a bad experience with knock off inks leaking!
