Review on Canon PGI 220 Combo Pack Triple by Danielle Landry

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ink is ink.: Printers and accessories

I have tried third party inks and will stick with Canon even though they are significantly more expensive. I tried refilling the cartridge but Canon added some kind of chip that needs to be reset in order for the printer to recognize that the cartridge is full. I couldn't figure out how to reset the chip, so the printer thinks it only has the amount of ink left before I refilled it. I've heard it's possible, but like I said, I haven't been able to figure it out. I'm sure this is to encourage more people to buy new rather than refills, another way for Canon to get our money. I've also been told it will only work a few times if you can figure it out. In the end, the ink works as expected, but like most printers, it's expensive.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Makes me angry
