New York Toner CLI 221 Replacement Review

This ink gets the job done. In any case, I didn't want to get high print quality from my home inkjet printer (Canon Pixma 860), but the quality seems to be close to genuine Canon branded inks. Cartridges are sealed. Some colors have a plastic tab that you unscrew before use, like the Canon brand. Some only have a sticker seal. The ones with the sticker drip heavily with ink when you tear it off. So make sure you have some form of protection when replacing these cartridges. I saved about $45 on…

I really liked these cartridges and it was so frustrating to find a generic cartridge that actually works that I felt compelled to write a review for other consumers. I have a Canon Pixma MP560 (it's one of those 3-in-1s) and this ink works really well with my printer. I've tried so many generic cartridges and none of them have worked. I tried the more expensive ones ($10+) hoping they were better quality and nothing. I even went back to expensive Canon inks for a while because I was so…

Wow! They worked great in my Canon MP620. I have a Konica Minolta Bizhub (old) in my home office that I continue to use for bulk printing - you can't beat a $30 "bucket" of toner that you screw in a bottle and it lasts for years, but sometimes you just want something that looks better - resumes etc so I have an MP620 on my desk. I used to shudder a little at the thought of using it often with a price tag of $20 for a Canon toner cartridge at my local Red Store but under $6 for all colors…

For my needs (daily use at home) this pack was a very good deal. At this price I don't have to hate inkjet printers that much. I've been using these cartridges for a few months now, everything works. I printed a photo on 5 year old photo paper and the results were terrible. Was it ink, printer or paper? Who knows. However, I would be inclined to spend a lot more money on ink if I plan to print a lot of photos where quality is important. Another thing, it may be my imagination but it seems that…

This was the second time I've ordered this ink from the stock cartridges. These cartridges fit my Canon MP560 snugly and the ink seems quite bright and vibrant. However, I think there might be a problem with the cartridges' computer chips. When my blue and yellow cartridges from my first order ran out of ink and stopped printing, the printer monitor indicated that they were nearing the end of their life and had some ink left. Also, when I opened the magenta cartridge for my second order, a few…

First let me point out that I live at 9000ft so this can't be the manufacturer's fault. Always glad not to spend a fortune on ink cartridges, I decided to give it a try. Ink is ink, after all, and $6 saves me a lot of money. What can go wrong. Let me tell you what went wrong. First I turned off the water to change the water filter which was a BIG mistake. The first two ink cartridges were very easy to install. Then I came to yellow. I was like, "I, does it matter what order I remove the tab at…
