Review on πŸ’¦ Canon PG-440XL 5216B001 Cartridge: High-performance Ink Solution for Canon Printers by Dimitar Dimitrov ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well done, but I won't buy any more.

On an older multifunction printer (MFP) from the same manufacturer, I refilled the original cartridges with ink from a different brand. On a new MFP, because I don't print very often, I still buy cartridges; but, as a result of growing prices, I will soon be forced to switch back to refueling. Below are some advantages: If you only print a few pages at most once a month, the ink that is now in the cartridge will last for an entire year. They do not become dry with time. With these drawbacks: Because it is an original and was created in Japan, the price is quite high. It is likely that the Japanese are aware that if they begin production in China, the market will be saturated with non-original cartridges of a good quality that are not manufactured by them (perhaps not of as high quality, but certainly inexpensive). Additionally, the sale of cartridges is the sole source of revenue for companies who manufacture printers. Because a scanner or fax machine in a multifunction printer (MFP) cannot function without ink in its cartridges (certain Canon versions can not), consumers regularly sue the manufacturers of printers in the United States. Manufacturers depend on sales of this "black gold."
