   Hard to “love” expensive ink but what ya gonna do?, June 4, 2012

   This review is from: Canon Office Products PG-240XL/CL-241XL with Canon GP502 Glossy Photo Paper – Combo Pack Ink (Office Product)

   This is the third boxed set of CANON PG-240XL (black and white)/CL-241XL (color) cartridges I’ve purchased, and I’ve never had a problem with these at all. They’ve installed easily and performed as described. I guess these XL cartridges are a better deal than non-XL cartridges, but, frankly, I can’t FIND non-XL cartridges of this type! These specifically yield about 700 pages per set depending upon what you actually print. My current costs for printing runs about 7 cents per page with this ink (and paper) as of June 2012 prices.

   I use these on a Canon PIXMA MX432 Wireless Color Photo Printer with plain, white photocopier paper to print documents and occasional coupons. I’ve popped in some Canon 8 x 10 Semi-Gloss Photo Paper and printed out a few photos and they come out “pretty good.” If you’re not an image snob, the quality on the photo paper is pretty good. But, it is not professional grade and it doesn’t pretend to be so. Photo paper can be pricy, so your per-page costs will increase. Add about 50 cents per 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet of photo paper for each page (i.e., rule of thumb page cost would be about 60 cents).

   You can’t get around the high cost of ink-jet cartridges. My all-in-one PIXMA MX432 printer costs about the same as buying two boxes of these black/color cartridge sets but that’s just the way of the ink-jet world. There are no cheap ink-jet cartridges and the pricing here is within normal ranges. If you find a good deal and want to buy several boxes, you should understand that these are rated with a shelf life of about two years so long as you keep them in the package.

   No complaints, but I give it 4 out of 5 stars because (according to Amazon’s star rating system) I can’t say I “love” these ink cartridges. But I like them pretty much in a platonic sort of way. Buy’em if you need’em.

   One thing I noticed and would like to let everyone know that. I have low ink or replace ink sign for about 4 months… I have purchased this ink so I do have new one in hand but I keep using the older ink which giving me the warning. I feel that canon machine throw and error message much prior to the actual life of ink is over. Use your own judgment to use your printer longer even after the warning, you may save few bucks….

   Easy for me to install and prints very cleanly. Decided to buy the high density ink as I do a lot of printing. Works for me.
