Canon PG-50 Mustepatruuna musta

I've had the same Pixma IP2600 printer since I can't even remember when -- it takes these old cartridges, no fuss, no muss, no subscription plan for ink, no nothing. Put it in, pressed Print, out came a good quality picture -- the ink is good.

Quality product that gives complete satisfaction. Can be recommended for purchase despite a difficult to understand price increase.

These inks are in proprietary tanks, of course, so no one is every going to be able to say, "I know a better (or cheaper) ink," but what is notable is that although there is a sort of generic advisory on the package to the effect that you should use the ink within six months "for best results," I have had tanks in my iPF8100 for years and they are just fine. This suggests that one doesn't have to necessarily be a high-volume user to get good value out of this large-format printer, and I suspect that goes for newer Canon models. So, for those who can afford it: maybe a 24-inch printer instead of a 17-inch "prosumer" model?

I have a Canon Pixma mx310 for some time now and I've been ordering this PG50 compatible cartridge for the last year and never had any issues. Installs just like the original version. To be honest I've ordered the original version on other sites and two I received a compatible anyway. This thankfully is not a refill it's just a non branded version of the original. I would advise anyone to stay clear of refills.
