4 Stars Thank you Amazon…
for selling these Canon inks at the lowest price around. The inks for the MP980 are expensive, and the ink in these cartridges does seem to run out quite fast (my reasons for rating 4 of 5 stars). I need to order more cartridges for my printer (so to have an extra supply on hand when needed), and I notice that today’s price for the CLI-221 4-pk is a few bucks lower than what I paid 3 weeks ago. If Amazon can go even lower on their Canon CLI ink prices, I would be most ecstatic!

And by the way, I do love my Canon PIXMA MP980 printer. Photos turn out great, and text printing has been superb. Compared to my old printer (bought 5 yrs ago), this MP980 prints at a very fast speed. Also love the auto-duplex feature. I also use my MP980 as a scanner and photocopier and have no complaints. I haven’t used the scanner to scan negatives or slides yet, but can’t wait to do so. My only hope is that the quality of scanned negatives/slides is pretty darn good. I’ve always been partial to Canon photo products-cameras, etc.-and this MP980 printer does not disapoint me. I would definitely buy another Canon printer.

And, I will definitely keep buying my inks from Amazon…best prices (so far) and very fast shipping. Every product ordered through Amazon for the last 10 months has arrived as expected (except for one item, though wasn’t fault of Amazon), and the packaging & shipping of products has been just superb.

Thank you!

4 Stars Missing a color
I have the MP980 which is one of the printers this box is supposed to be for — but the printer says it requires a grey cartridge. There isn’t one in here. There is a black that will fit there – hope that works. If I’m spending the additional money on Canon ink, I’d like my Canon ink to Canon printer instructions be clearer.

5 Stars Great Product!
I love my Canon printer for printing pictures and I like the bargain I received when buying this ink. It was somewhat confusing initially because the same seller did not come up initially, so the product did not qualify for Amazon’s free shipping, but I continued to search until I found a seller I used previously.

5 Stars Great Price
Always a better price then I can get in the stores and I don’t have to leave the house to get it. Love it!

5 Stars delivered quick, and product was perfect.
The product was shipped very quickly and was delivered in perfect condition. Would deal with again!

4 Stars Ink is Ink: It Gets Used Up FAST
Get the XL cartridges, not the regular PG-210s. According to Canon you get almost 2x more pages, for < 40% more money.

What does that mean? I emptied out my regular 210 cartridge within 1 month of rather light usage on my new Canon MP240 printer. The XL cartridge now in it is < 1/2 full but going on 6 weeks.

Soon 3rd parties will be selling replacements, but I got some OEM Canon carts for $9@ from sellers here on Amazon. You don’t have to pay full price.

4 Stars XL worth the extra
The 210XL has 66% more ink than the regular 210 cartridge. (15ml vs 9ml) And it isn’t much more expensive, so save yourself some long term money and buy the XL.

And while you can go with a generic, certain consumer magazines have shown that generic cartridges and refill kits end up costing you more and giving you less quality than the manufacturer ink.

5 Stars Works as Promised
Order was delivered quickly and the ink works well in my printer. The added cost promised longer use and so far, they were right.
