For years I was afraid of using a different manufacturer's printer for my Cannon printer and only bought replacement Cannon ink cartridges. tat (tat), I didn't want to spend any more money buying very expensive replacement cartridges. I decided to try this brand after reading a number of reviews about it and other brands. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The ink is as light as Cannon's and the installation was smooth. There are no issues other than the Cannon app that was on my desktop reporting the ink level is no longer available. No big deal - the one on the printer still shows the ink level when you turn it on. I strongly recommend saving a lot of money and using this brand of cartridges.
