Reviews of 8 Pack 2BK/2C/2M/2Y ink for i560 BCI-3e Canon Pixma iP3000 i550

Customer Ratings:

Delighted with new ink cartridges! Product arrived promptly in excellent condition in a USPS bag, with each cartridge shrink wrapped in cellophane, and each with a twist-off cover to protect the ink dispensing part of the cartridge. I inserted the new cartridges in my dated Canon i560 that is just the right size for our NYC apt, thinking that for the extraordinarily low price I would replace the printer if they did not work, and found to my pleasure that they worked perfectly. I ran the head cleaning utility twice, and found that the faded images were replaced with proper colors, sharp images. I have since ordered generic Canon printer ink cartridges from New Harbor for two other printers I use at our other home, a Canon MX870 and a Canon MP 600, and await their arrival.

These ink cartridges were compatible with my Canon Pixma iP3000. So far, I used the black and the magenta (hot pink) ones. I printed color photos and black and white tax returns in good quality. Specifically, the color and images were sharp. Also, these cartridges fitted perfectly in the holders and there have been no leaks (as I initially worried about a non-brand product). As long as you know your printer make and model, the website would offer various choices of compatible cartridges (as I initially worred about ordering the wrong ones).

Works as expected. Color match is excellent. All this at a great price. For once I can print without worrying how much it costs. Oh, yeah. Delivery was very quick, way faster than Amazon said it would get to me (std. shipping).

Honest reviews on 8 Pack 2BK/2C/2M/2Y ink for i560 BCI-3e Canon Pixma iP3000 i550

Service was fast and the cartridges were well packaged. Two of the four cartridges dripped one to three drops of ink when I opened them to install in the printer. Otherwise, no problems. Have a cloth ready to clean up the ink. The black ink does not wash off when cleaning up. The black and white prints have been excellent. The color prints look very good to me. I only use them on plain paper (no photo paper). With these cartridges, owning an ink jet printer is no longer a liability...you can afford to use it. I will update this review later if the cartridges prove reliable in the long run or if any problems are encountered. If they don't leak or cause any problems over time, I would upgrade them to five stars. These cartridges are a good deal for older printers and those no longer under warranty. I am using the cartridges in a Canon MP730.

August 14, 2012 update: I have to upgrade these cartridges to a 5 star rating (up from 4 stars). They have been excellent performers. What is more surprising is that even after a reasonable amount of use, these cartridges are all showing up as almost completely full. In the past when buying the manufacturer's cartridges, they were at half a tank in a couple of months whether I printed anything or not. I would rate these cartridges as a very good (if not excellent) buy. The only drawback that I encountered was the very slight leakage (dripping) of ink during the initial installation as mentioned above. It is probably best to use the manufacturer's ink during the printer warranty period, but after the warranty is up these cartridges are the way to go!

February 21, 2013: Apparently, these cartridges always show up as full. Even when they are empty, they still show up as full. A minor inconvenience, but they are still a good value for the price.

Shipping was fast.. Shipped same day as purchase and arrived next day. Product was securely packed and ink cartridges looked and functioned the same as my original cannon cartridges. No spilling of ink during installation and my test page printed perfectly.. No smearing or smudging during following printouts..
