 Extremely pleased Jan 05, 2007
By T. Feiling
Everytime I've purchased any Canon ink cartridge, and I've purchased well over a hundred bargain brand's and Canon's, I've been extremely pleased with:
o no clogging,
o quality print,
o page count per cartridge printing,
o every cartridge printing when installed
The only negative would be their high pricing, but I guess it proves the old axiom "you get what you pay for".

Works great Jan 03, 2007
By K. Fulton
What can you say about ink? I found no problems with it... it arrived quickly, was about $30 cheaper for all 6 than buying them at the store. As long as you ready your printer manual to find out exactly what ink you need, and check the product to make sure you're buying the right thing, there shouldn't be any problems.

Oh dear god why can't people READ!! Dec 23, 2006
By K. Richardson
It says right in the product description: Magenta Photo Ink Cartridge for IP6600D.
I am shocked by the amount of people that can't read. People all over the place are buying the wrong thing and then they give the product 1 star! Lets not ding products for your own inability to pay attention. Those of us that actually use the comments for real product comparisons would greatly appreciate it.

 A Black Hole in my printer Nov 08, 2010
By Frank O. Griffin
"Franko"
I have no complaints about the performance of this ink in my Pixma Pro printer. I have only cranked out 250 cards so far, and I have not ventured to try off-brand inks, due to tight production schedule. My only complaint is that for some reason I am using the Photo Magenta ink twice as fast as any other color. The cards have all sorts of colors, so I am not printing the same image a zillion times. I guess I have no complaint about the ink per se, but I sure wish Canon would bundle it into the 3- and 4-packs of ink. They have to know how fast it gets used up!
I concur with the comment that people need to take care when re-ordering ink. Seems to me the fool-proof way is to read the part number from your cartridge and search on that number.

This is one of two most used colors. Analysis of usage of differnt colors within May 01, 2010
By Ali Julia
I have a Canon Photo Printer which takes six CLI-8 Canon Ink Cartridges. The cost of each individual ink cartridge ranges from around $12.50-15 (on Amazon) to 18.99 in Staples. So no matter how you buy the genuine Canon Ink Cartridges keeping yourself ready to print photos is expensive.
You can get a better per cartridge of you buy them in Canon CLI-8 4-Color Multipack Ink Tanks. In that case each individual cartridge is a little less expensive. Canon package CL-8C (Cyan), CL-8M (Magenta), CL-8Y (Yellow), and CL-8BK (Black) as a pack ($40-44 on Amazon). When cartridges are sold in packs you might think those colors are used at similar rates... but that is not so.
I have kept track of the usage of the cartridges over a long period of time and would like to share these results with you.
Number of cartridges used
CL-8M Magenta = 5
CL-8Y Yellow = 8
CL-8B Black = 6
CL-8PC Photo Cyan = 6
CL-8PM Photo Magenta = 8
CL-8C Cyan = 4
My usage shows that yellow is used the most, followed closely by Photo Magenta, followed next by Black and Photo Cyan, and trailed by Cyan and Magenta. Note that I have a laser printer that I used for text otherwise the usage of the Black Cartridge would have been a lot higher.
I buy most of my color photo ink on-line from Amazon. However now that Staples began (again) accepting CL-8 cartridges for Staples Rewards in their recycling empty cartridges program, I wanted to analyze my usage to see which cartridges I should buy at Staples using my Staples Rewards.
My original thought was to buy Canon CLI-8PC Photo Cyan Ink Tank and Canon CLI-8PM Photo Magenta Ink Tank since they don't come in a pack. But given the usage chart above, it is clear that I should buy extra Yellow and Photo Magenta.
