Genuine Canon Inks & Papers - Great Deals!

Canon makes excellent ink and photo paper, so this combination of ink and paper is almost the best of both worlds: quality and value. I've never had a problem with Canon ink or photo paper, so I don't have negative reviews for either. A few years ago I made the costly mistake of using fake ink to save money. Saving a dollar in ink cost me a printer that stuck together and stopped working due to poor ink quality. Lesson Learned: Stick to Canon OEM ink for your Canon printer. Why did I say that this combination is "almost" the best of both worlds? With this kit you get the CLI-221 Cyan, Magenta and Yellow reservoirs and the PGI 220 Black reservoir and 50 sheets of Canon Glossy Photo Paper. You will NOT get CLI 221 black ink which is required for the MP-560 and some other Canon printers. I didn't read as carefully as I should have and thought I was getting all four CLI 221s. My MP 560 requires pigment and dye based black ink cartridges (text pigment and photo dye). Like I said, it was all my fault for not reading carefully, but I wonder how many others could have made the same mistake. This is an easy fix, just order the CLI 221 black tank. Despite my mistake, it's still a great price to get Canon quality ink and paper.
