Review on Canon PG-245 and CL-246 Amazon Bundle by Shonda Bailey

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The black cartridge lasted about 200 pages

I ordered this set of black/color cartridges thinking they would last me at least for a while. I don't print much, but sometimes I need to print and scan documents for work. The price wasn't bad and it's probably original material from the manufacturer. Seems legal. I received the cartridges on July 13th and installed it probably a week later. I printed out a few documents and a few prescriptions. I printed out some forms to register to vote and printed out some envelopes to mail. Generally, I don't see myself printing more than 100 pages; I might have printed up to 10 pages a week, but that gives me 80 pages max (most weeks didn't even come close to that number, and for at least two weeks the printer was boxed up when I moved), but even let it in this case, let's double that and assume I've printed 160 pages. Today is September 15th and now my printer won't print basic forms because it's running out of ink. There was almost no repair work, so that's not the reason. All I can say is that the cartridge simply ran out of ink when I received it, which annoys me more than I can express in a place like this.
