Summary: Buy the original
Review: Buy the original ink tank and you'll won't be sorry. Some of the refill kits or the generic ones can clog.

Not worth a few dollars of problems and costly repairs. The two packs are better deals.

Summary: Could i get a little LESS ink, Please?
Review: Good grief! I have owned many printers and purchased many ink cartridges, but NEVER has one been this small! Before you buy the cannon printer that goes with these, please look into the size and cost of ink! I have an i550 cannon and it has the largest ink tanks and you can grab generic cartridges for under 5 bucks a piece! These things run out weekly!

Summary: Canon BCI-21 ink cartridge (black)
Review: I am very happy with the ink cartridge. I print not only text but pictures and calendars quite a bit and I have had no problems with clotty messes or streaky runs. Canon makes a very good product and I belive you will be happy with their ink cartrides also.

Summary: Rebate response
Review: I bought 3 Canon BJP black cartridges. The rebate offer was to buy 3 and get a rebate for the 3 one. I followed all directions and just received a denial. The card states that I did not buy 3 of the same product. In fact, I did. I bought one single cartridge and one twin pack of the same cartridge. What was the problem with getting the rebate??

Summary: Canon Ink Tanks with Canon Printers
Review: I bought my printer/copier less than a month ago and it came with a BCI-21 Black and BCI-21 Color ink tank. I have not been using the machine that much yet and while I was copying a few pages which required black ink, suddenly the black prints just were not showing. I have not even printed more than 100 pages since I got my printer. I still have color ink coming out but black is missing in my pages.

Summary: Canon Ink Tanks with Canon Printers
Review: I decided to purchase one of the other brands of ink tanks for my Canon printer once and I was enormously disappointed. Canon ink tanks are the best ink tank for my Canon printer. I highly recommend them.

Summary: High cholesterol?
Review: I make only infrequent use of my Canon Multipass printer, sometimes letting it stand idle for several weeks. For whatever reason, the black ink tanks clog the printhead after prolonged disuse whereas the color ones keep functioning. Although more likely to happen with a clone, the same has occurred with Canon originals. Before throwing out the printer (and I've come close), run it through the cleaning cycle at least 5 successive times and try printing again. If it's still not working right, do another 5 cleaning cycles. So far, that's done the trick for me, but if 10 times doesn't produce the desired result, you'll need to do some invasive surgery on the printhead itself.

As for using cartridges from clone manufacturers, my experience has been that they often require far more "priming" than the original manufacturer's product. As a result, you're wasting ink and saving less money than you may have thought.

Also, when ordering Canon ink supplies, beware the manufacturer's confusing and inconsistent use of the terms "ink cartridge" and "ink tank." It's led to my receiving the wrong item on more than one occasion.
