Why won't Canon let us see into the Inkwell?
The 5 stars are for Staples great selection and price comparable to online pricing. 1 star for the ink. The tanks run out so fast now. Just how much ink is really in there? Aftermarket ink tanks have clear ink wells, so you can see how much ink is in there, but Canons are dark black so it's anyone's guess just what's inside. I remember ink lasting WAY longer than this, ...

not worth it
Box says 11.4ml and the regular cartridge is 5.6ml. That is not in the product detail online. There may be some fixed wastage but the arithmetic based on ink volume suggests that regular cartridge is better value!

Canon refill inks
I like buying my printer ink in a bundle instead of individually because of the savings. I don't mind ordering online for my inks but it would be nice that the stores would carry it.

fine, i have no choice.
@home printing is convenient… but ink is way too expensive across the board. and you’re locked in to buy the specific type. such a scam. i guess the price we pay for convenience.

Great product
Works for my printer as it should. Colors are good. A bit pricey with the constant price hikes but the staples rewards helps offset that and I think they should last longer but I guess it can only hold so much ink.

Canon Ink 281XL
By purchasing the XL, ink lasts longer, and is a better deal.

Delivered as promised
Since I am disabled, I find it much easier ordering my ink for my printer online. The deliveries have always been on the day that Staples said it would arrive.
