Thank you Staples for e-mailing me to ask how I feel about this black replacement ink cartridge.

I cannot begin to tell you the impact this ink has had on my life. New friends, new girlfriend, new car, hell, a whole new outlook on life. And I owe it ALL to this ink. I don't even want to think where I would be without out.

My Canon PG-30 Purchase

I have been using this product to print resumes but I have found that the ink-life is not as long as I am used to. I find this disappointing.

Comments about Canon PG-30 Pigment Black Ink Cartridge:

I work as a field reviewer, collecting data for a company from doctors offices,clinics, hospitals and medical records warehouses. I copy the list of clients I need to gather info on before leaving home. My Canon ink copies are very clear and professional looking and I am proud to present them on the job. I am further proud to upload my work to my company when I get home. There are never any holes or gaps or uneven distribution of ink, never. I will continue to use my Canon printer and ink cartridges.

Comments about Canon PG-30 Pigment Black Ink Cartridge:

The pigment cartridge is efficient but rather expensive considering the short printing life. Replacement of a cartridge is relatively easy, no mess, and can be returned in the packaging it which it was purchased. However, the constant replacement of cartridges, including the color pigment, is a hassle. Unfortunately, the need for replacement of a cartridge often comes during the middle of a printing job, frequently causing the requirement for the job to be redone.

Comments about Canon PG-30 Pigment Black Ink Cartridge:

I don't use my printer that much but am satisfied with the Canon cartridges. The black always work well. Sometimes the color doesn't seem to print out the same as what is on my monitor (either darker or faded looking) and takes longer for whatever I've printed to dry. If I printed a lot of things, I believe I would purchase a better printer and probably not another Canon product mainly because Canon never has their cartridges on sale like so many of the other compaanies do with their cartridges.

      • Q:

        Customer service kindly explained already that the difference between PG-50 and PG-40 is yield: the former yielding 500 pages, the latter 300. What about the PG-30? Is that different only in yield, and if so, by how much? Thanks!

        • CUSTOMER CARE

          A:

          It depends what printer you have. The PG-30 is compatible with only some the PIXMA printers. Other than that there isn't really much of a difference. The PG-40 can have a tendency to last a little longer than the PG-30.

          A:

          For a color printer to work properly, you need to have all required inks in the machine.

        • VERIFIED BUYER

          A:

          yes anon you have to at least have a cartridge in the color ink spot even if it is empty. So I never take out a cartridge until I am ready to replace it.

      • Q:

        I order my supplies through my company. My company has recently changed to Staples as our supplier. I have a Canon Pixma MX310 and the cartridge that came with my printer was a 40 and the one I am pulling up online with your company shows a cartridge 30, is there a difference, will it cause problems using a 30 cartridge instead of a 40? I will need the catalog ordering number along with a page number to submit my order.

        • A:

          No it will not really there is no difference except that the 40 is a finer ink than the 30 and can have a tendency to last a lil longer. It will in no way mess up your printer. and the catalog num is.....681466
