It is easy to install, I would prefer buying it in a multipack to save some money, and order it less frequently. I like the Staples policy of not paying shipping charges when you spend a certain amount of money. It is often difficult for me to travel to an actual store, so on-line shopping is very convenient to me. I am particularly impressed by how quickly my order was delivered. I believe that it arrived at my home in less than 48 hours. I wish that there was some way that I could send my empty cartidges to Staples, so I would qualify for the credits in my Staples account. I also really liked receiving the $20.00 off discount coupon. In the future, whenever feasible, I plan to purchase my office supplies at Staples, hopefully on-line. I look forward to receiving future e-mail offers and discount offers. Thank You for the quality service that you are providing. I often recommend your business to others. Sincerely , 'Murph' in Northe Carolina

Although the MX892 printer prints beautifully - the cost of replacing the cartridges is outrageous, and the fact that the cartridge runs out of ink after a VERY short time is outrageous. This particular cartridge ran out of ink after only ONE week, after printing only in grayscale at fast print. I printed approximately 100 pages. All my prior Canon printers have never used up ink like this. It costs almost as much to replace one set of cartridges as it did to purchase the printer. In addition, the printer shuts down if only one cartridge is low. I am planning on taking the printer back, and will probably never purchase a Canon printer again given what they have done to their customers. No printer should require cartridge replacement after such brief use.

Comments about Canon PGI-225 Black Ink:

Serves the purpose, Brand you can trust, easy replacement, everything is just perfect except the cost for it is bit high than the alternate products. However, you have no guarantee that a cheap altrnate may work as you expect, but this one comes from the Manufacturer (who manufactured the Printer too) and hence you can avoid possible headaches of spilling, low quality etc... I wish the price drops a bit and quality stays the same :)

Comments about Canon PGI-225 Black Ink:

I use this ink to print out my work schedule for the day, and the ink cartridge is pretty easy to load into my Cannon printer. I was up and running in less than 2 minutes!! I appreciate your good products. I even purchased the Staples & Quill Exclusive pack that has 6 ink tanks, which included the ones I need the most: 2 of the large black inks (225 PGBK) It will save me a little money in the long run, as well as time to have to go back and buy some more. Thanks!

  • Q:

    The Canon MX882 printer has 2 black cartridges. Does the printer switch between them when one is dry? Why does it have two?
    Asked on 10/24/2011 by Anonymous

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      This printer has a pigment black cartridge (PGI) which is used when printing text, and a black color cartridge (CLI) that is used to print photos and colored text. It is necessary to replace each black cartridge when the ink has run out. To place an order for this item, please contact us at 1-800-333-3330.

  • Q:

    Will the PGI-225 ink cartridge be compatible with the PIXMA MG5200 printer (as well as the MG5220)?

    Is the PGI-225 cartridge the same as the CLI-226 except for capacity?

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      The Pixma MG5200 and the Pixma MG5220 do not take the same ink cartridges. The PGI-225 and the CLI-226 will both fit the Pixma MG5220.

      Answered on 3/17/2011 by Anonymous

  • Q:

    Why does Canon Pixma MG6120 use two(2) Black cartridges and why don't you include both in your discount package of 4? Also, why isn't the gray cartridge included in a package?
