4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Hints for this Cartridge, March 1, 2007

By	Trustme2 (Hollidaysburg, Pa. USA) - See all my reviews

My first PG 40 lasted only 2 months, disappointing as cartridge cost was one of deciding factors in buying my Canon Pixma MP 170. $20 (Staples) was low compared to previous printer cartridge but not for two month usage. With next cartridge, I used "fast" print option and continued to use for 1-2 months after "low ink" message appeared, this one lasted 5-6 months, which is o.k. for cost. I then had one refilled at Cartridge World and it lasted only 45 days, tho I was doing somewhat more printing during that time period. Use "fast/draft" option,and ignore low print message,--- just print till it's out of ink ----and it will last much longer. I will probably buy from Amazon as cost is lower (providing you order $25 and get free S & H) and this is hard to find in my area.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good output - ink too costly, July 12, 2006

By	Alvin W. Brinson "aelfwyne" (Beaumont, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have used Canon printers for years. I recommend them to people for their low per-page costs...

Those that use THIS cartridge though, are an exception. This cartridge has an in-cartridge ink counter that tells me I'm out of ink way before I actually do run out of ink. Additionally, the counter cannot be reset, so there is no refill market on these forcing you to buy retail.

4.0 out of 5 stars Evaluating Canon PiXma Ink, March 16, 2006

By	John L. Friedman (AZ, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A very good in supply is obtained at all times without leakage of ink or smudging of the paper or clogging of the printer. The reason it is not rated 5 stars is that the ink supply is utilized too rapidly and the expensive cartriges have to replaced too frequently.
