These worked like a charm in my ip4200, and are incredible for the price, but for a few people who may not understand, I want to list a few things I noticed about cheap 3rd party printer cartridges:
1. Many of these tell you that they work for more printers than they truly do. If in doubt, Amazon lets you search printer cartridges by printer model, which is how I found these after I found comments on the last ones I looked at that they didn't work with my particular model.
2. The plastic is cheaper and you can squish the ink out of them. You have to handle with care; avoid gripping it from the sides as much as possible.
3. Even if you do handle with care, many of them are going to drip at least a little after you remove the cap. This is unavoidable.
4. They require you to remove some of the label on the top. If you don't do this it wont release ink. If you don't remove enough of the label, it'll leave streaks. After printing several test pages and checking the colors that didn't come out right, I finally removed half the top label by digging under it with a knife, after which it began working fine.
So basically.. they are definitely more of a hassle than getting official Canon cartridges... but given that you are buying 3 full sets for the price of a single cartridge, as long as you keep these things in mind and are careful about the whole thing, it is WELL worth the effort.
Chances are good the colors aren't precise to what is typical in a CMYK system, but unless you are printing for a studio or have an artists' eye for color, I don't think it'll make a huge difference to you.

I had trouble with 1-2 of the cartridges.. but rest seemed to work fine. can't beat it for the price, and seller even refunded me partially for defective cartridges.
Wish they made these for HP printers.
Best Deals for Canon PGI-5BK CLI-8 15-Pack Compatible Ink Cartridges w/ Chip
This is the best deal!!! I came across this on accident while looking for something else. Our ink usually costs around $90 for one set. My husband was hesitant but I said even if we got one set out of the 3 that worked we were still getting a great deal. They arrived in 2 days and every one we opened has worked perfectly!! I will definitely be ordering more and have already told my friends about this!!! So glad I found you!! I can finally afford to use my printer the way it was meant to be used.
Honest reviews on Canon PGI-5BK CLI-8 15-Pack Compatible Ink Cartridges w/ Chip
I was very excited to see this product at such a great price and with overall favorable reviews. However, today was the first time I tried to print a photo, and the colors are not accurate when compared to the photo on my computer. It seems to have a grayish cast to it which I never noticed when I was using the canon print cartridges. I don't print a lot of photos at home, so for my purposes of general printing, it is definitely worth saving the money. If you do a lot of photo printing, though, and are concerned with color quality, you may want to stick with the brand name.

I was so sick and tired of paying fifty dollars to get new ink when mine ran out. I ran across this ink by accident and I will never go back to the old Canon brand ink again! all of the ink that I used worked just fine in my printer and I didn't notice any difference in color quality. I will definetly buy again
