I have found that using generics for the colored inks isn't wise because the generics don't compare in quality to the real McCoy of Canon genuine inks. Colored generics require considerable adjustment of your printer's settings as they are much less rich in tone. But black does not matter, providing it has a "chip".The chip simply means that the cartridge is programmed with your printer to let you know the status of the ink level. When it's low, your computer will tell you.

I recommend this Canon PGI-5Bk Black Compatible Inkjet Cartridge because it works fine and it'll save you money.

This ink cartridge's main benefits are the low price, the included chip, and the decent quality ink.

But there's a price to pay for not using the much more expensive Canon ink cartridge, and that is the fact that many of the ink cartridges leak when opened, including this black model. A friend of mine and I have both been using these cartridges, and it seems as though every other one leaks immediately after popping off the orange cap. With paper towels and gloves nearby, we're able to insert the cartridges without much of a problem, but the ink can go everywhere if you're not careful.

For the price, these cartridges are just fine. I just wish they didn't leak.

Frequently with refilled/non-brand name cartridges, they leak a little, or the packaging is not too good, or they just look, well, cheap. This cartridge seems to be of very good quality, doesn't leak, and is well packed. I will definitely buy this brand again.

Honest reviews on LD © Canon PGI-5Bk Pigment Black Compatible Inkjet Cartridge

Bottom line: these cartridges don't work. A few pages will print fine. Then the streaks start. Shaking the cartridge will help, but it's a little annoying to have to do that every time. Even at half the price of a Canon cartridge, you'll waste twice as much ink trying to get a decent print. Back to the overpriced Canon cartridges for me. I do have to say that customer service was very responsive.
