Most Helpful Positive Review

Staples Stores don't carry this product.

Printer requires it.

Most Helpful Negative Review

No benefit, High cost

This is a SIXTH cartridge, but unlike Light CMY cartridges used by other printers, this one seems to have no beneficial impact on color. Prints come out dull. Worse, when you're printing only black, somehow this cartridge drains. I print very little color (and no photos due to poor quality) and yet I seem to be out of one color or another almost every time I use the printer. Literally [$] per 50 pages estimated. The cartridges are tiny, run out fast, and the printer will refuse to print, even if you only want BLACK.

I like the fact that Staples always has this in stock. The inks produce good pictures,are easy to install and I only have to replace the color that runs out.

Comments about Canon CLI-221 Gray Ink Cartridge:

Well, this product is new to me, but so far it has done the job. It is easy for me to install it in the printer, and didn't take to long to install completely. It was a little slow to completely get in there for me to start printing, but it was worth the wait. The quality was great, better than my old printer. It also went smoother for me to make copies. I would definitely say that I made an upgrade for the better. The only drawback for me is the volume of ink. I wish it would of came in a larger size.

Comments about Canon CLI-221 Gray Ink Cartridge:

This item was discontinued from my usual office supply company. This is a needed product and I find it ridiculous to drop one color out of the whole ink package needed for this printer series. This product has no issues.

Would never have bought this but I was in a situation where I needed to print something immediately and didn't realize I didn't have a generic replacement cartrige for this color on hand.
