Without a doubt this is the best ink I have ever found. At 1/10th the price of the competition

Pros: - GREAT range of quality inks! Considering the Canon equivalent for the same amount of ink is $200-$300 on Amazon (the cheapest pack of all five pgi220 ink cartridges I could find was $50-$75 for ONE set, not FOUR , which come together), you can get this EZ Ink for about 1/10th the price elsewhere. As soon as the ink arrived, I replaced all five cartridges in my printer with them so I could "start over" and really see how long a set of these would last. I've already printed over a hundred pages (many in colour) and the only cartridge that shows a change in ink levels is the largest black cartridge which has gone from 5 'bars' at full to 4. I expect to be able to print a few hundred more before the ink needs replacing. The design of these cartridges blows the competition away! I've opened a lot of Canon ink cartridges, and many of them have an annoying twist cap that sometimes leaks ink. These cartridges from EZ Ink are way better! They have a VERY secure snap on lid that stays firmly in place until you are ready to use it. Just pop off the lid and it pops off without spilling or effort. But the best? They turn on instantly if you ever need to take it out of the printer or accidentally open it, and as always, they're ALSO leak-proof. I even accidentally opened a cartridge and was pleased to find the cap clicked into place and it returned to the box for later without spilling a drop. (It's been a few weeks and there are still no drops or smudges in the box - the caps on them are phenomenal! Why can't Canon make them that easy? No need to worry about being suddenly stranded when using these find The cartridge has run out. There are already a few spares in the box! Some people may worry about unused ink going bad, so it's not worth ordering in bulk, but don't worry! Unused and unopened ink will last two years (sometimes longer) before it goes bad. Even if you had to order a new pack two years past the expiration date of unused cartridges, paying $10 a year for ink is still an incredible deal! what they should, at 1/10 the price of the competition I was asked "What if they don't last as long as the brand name Canon? etc?" My answer? I already have tons of Pages printed in sets so I know they work well! And if for some reason they don't last as long as Canon ink (I suspect they will last as long as any brand name ink!), I know they will last at least 1/10th longer. After all, I paid for it - a tenth of the price of a famous brand. So if they last at least twice as long as Canon's (and they already are!), I'll save over $100 by switching to EZ inks. just as good is this amazing ink from EZ Ink. ***Update: I continue to use this ink product and despite other reviews the ink will NOT spill on your hands. As long as you open it properly (hold the cartridge upside down, carefully remove the cap, then turn it over and place it in the printer) you won't have any problems.
