When purchasing my Canon PIXMA 640 printer a few months ago, I had hoped (and was told by the Staples employee who helped me pick it out) that the ink cartridges were a good value and lasted longer than those for my previous printer (a Dell printer, which was a mistake made once--never again). This hasn't turned out to be the case. The ink cartridges have a short lifespan and need to be replaced frequently, even more than I did for my Dell printer, and cost is about the same or slightly higher. If you like going to the store every 6 weeks or so to purchase new ink cartridges, this is the printer for you.

      the ink cartridges are very easy and clean to install.the pcopier lets you know what cartridges needs to be replaced by blinking and also showing up on a display of all the ink cartridges.the only thing i have is that working in a cat rescue group,i do alot of coping of flyers,documenents that the ink rus out quickly.

        Ink is fine. just wish I had purchased the Brother printer instead of this one as it uses too much ink. Sales person indicated Canon as good as the Brother printer but have found that it does require many more cartridges than I had expected.

          • Q:

            Regardless of whether it's a "thin" or "thick" black, it appears from the PRINTER specs (PIXMA MP990), these cartridges are incompatible with the Cannon printer. In fact, if you use the Ink & Toner finder, the results are the same: NO toner cartridges for this printer! I don't think I would buy a printer unless I'm sure of the cost of the toners (where they make their money$$$). Any clues ??

              A:

              Canon now uses region and model encoding chips for their ink tanks. Have to use the ink tank specified for the printer. If not, the tank won't work. Canon's website for the Pixma MP990 shows this for ink tanks:
              http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=2610&modelid=19219#SNAModelSuppliesAct

              CLI-221 series for the colors and PGI-220 for the large black tank.

            What's the difference between this PGI-220 black in cartridge and the CL1-221 black ink cartridge?

            • VERIFIED BUYER

              A:

              The PGI-220 is a large capacity cartridge and the CLI-221 is the smaller capacity one.They work together for example on the mp620 printer. The 220 would be drawn from for printing such as if you were to print internet coupons and the 221 is for mix to help create your other colors for printing.Price wise they are about the same price.

            • VERIFIED BUYER

              A:

              The PGI-220 uses black ink for printing documents, etc. The Blk CL1-221 uses black ink for photos in addition to tonal values or mixtures in creating color variations.
