5 Stars Once you go black…
If you like black ink, you’ll love these little black ink cartridges from Canon. In fact, my Canon Pixma iP4500 printer won’t even work without this cartridge. Unlike the normal “skinny” black ink cartridges, these are fat and come three to a box. Canon says it’s a pigment ink formulation for long-lasting prints. I agree. I call these “Fat Black” or “Special K” cartridges (’K’ means black in the graphics industry). I’ve never had a problem with these, and they last a lot longer than the other four colors of ink (C, M, Y and the skinny K). There’s something satisfying about snapping one of these big boys in to the print head, and when the ink finally runs out (Canon says it will yield approximately 650 pages per cartridge, based on 5% coverage), a nice red light glows to indicate that it needs replacing. Canon inks have a clear window so that you can see that they’re really empty, unlike Epson; this is one of my favorite features of Canon inks (you can periodically check them to see for yourself when they’re getting low and not just take the word of the print utility).

If there is a downside, however minor, it’s that the new boxes that these come in opens on the side and can’t be re-closed; the old boxes opened on the top and had a re-closable flap. Also, don’t get this ink on your skin because it’s really hard to get off. This isn’t likely to happen unless you pull the seal tab off the bottom incorrectly, but I know someone who did it and she had to scrub for the better part of an hour to remove most of it from her hand. I suggested using rubbing alcohol, which helped. Other users have complained of the high price of Canon-brand ink, and compared to inferior third-party inks this is true. But buying three to a box helps offset this premium a bit.
