Review on E-Z Ink (TM) CLI-281XXL CLI 281 XXL Compatible Replacement Ink Cartridge for Canon PIXMA TS8120 TS9120 (1 Pack, Photo Blue) by Zachary Spaulding

I'm so tired of paying so much for branded inks. I know how companies make money, but I can't figure out what the prices are. I'm always a bit skeptical when it comes to buying branded inks. As some of them may be garbage. But I ordered this printer because I used this brand in an old Brother printer I had a while back. And with this printer it has always turned out very well. This time I use it in the cannon. I added ink and she actually showed up and said it was real Cannon ink. It gave me no error message at all and shut down immediately. I don't want the top of the page to actually turn green on the first print I make after putting this ink in the printer. But then it worked on its own and by the end of the page everything was back to normal and after that first page I had no more problems. I think the printer needs a little time to set up. I know that sometimes when you use a different brand of ink you have to clean the print head more frequently, otherwise after many prints you can start to turn a little green. But overall I think I'll stick with this mascara and not go back to Signature Mascara. Works just as well and costs half as much.
