Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Canon PG-240XL/CL-241 Ink Cartridges - Combo Pack, Black: High-Quality Printing Essentials by Drew Gengler

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Couldn't print my entire 245 page black and white manuscript

Last December I put a new ink cartridge in my printer so I ordered a replacement. I've only printed a few things since then (today 08/12/2020) so I was surprised when I ran out of ink yesterday. I put in a backup cartridge yesterday afternoon and it was empty again! From yesterday when I put the cartridge in until today I have printed 222 pages. It's incredibly annoying that printer manufacturers have decided to make money by forcing us to buy printer cartridges every other day (literally in my case). Assuming each cartridge costs about $25, that means I'm paying $0.11 per side. black and white page. Not even a color page! I guess it's stealing considering FedEx advertises $0.49 per page but it still looks like a rip off. So now I have to wait for the new ink cartridge I ordered to arrive before I can print the rest of my project. Glad I don't have a deadline!

Cons
  • Not as good as advertised
