What I received is not what was advertised.
It says Complete Set 6X2.
It is neither.
1) They shipped ten cartridges, not twelve
2) Four of them were black, two of them double-cartridges that do not fit in the i-series Canon printers that use BCI-6 inks.
3) Hardly a full set. No photo-cyan, no photo-magenta.
4) Even the package looks nothing like that shown in the picture on this page. No cardboard outer package, just the individual plastic bags.
Order these at your own risk, and don't expect to receive what is promised here.

Always skeptical of things that sound too good to be true, I tried these inks. I first came across OA100 inks in several favorable posts on a photography forum, so I hunted down the Abacus website and ordered two sets at a significantly hiher price, but less than half the cost of Canon OEM. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality, but there were some color issues that had to be resolved. Results were fairly vibrant, but with a noticeable shift to the warm side. After creating a profile and making the proper adjustments, the results are equal to or better than the results I was getting with oem ink on non-Canon paper, even with after creating custom profiles for the canon ink/third party papers. When I came across these for sale at Amazon, for the ridiculous price of $1.50 each, I bought 4 sets and have never looked back. I will never buy Canon OEM ink again. It is not better, and especially not worth over 6 times the cost of OEM. I have been using these for 4 months on a Canon i9100 without any printer issues.Update: after several years the images printed with this inks faded or changed colors, so I can no longer recommend them. Best to stick with OEM ink you get more in the cartridge and the quality is more consistent.
Best Deals for 12 Canon compatible BCI-6 ink cartridges: Two each of BCI-6BK
After opening up the packages I noticed that of the 12, ONLY the Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta cartridges were labeled as being compatible with my printer. The Black Ink was even in a different cartridge as the others. I was about to put the black cartridge in my printer when I noticed something felt wet, turns out it was black ink leaking all over my hands and clothes. After CAUTIOUSLY trying another, it appeared that everything was fine (at least it didn't leak all over me). The first few photos I had printed had a horribly dark color tone and white lines all through the image, it turns out the darker color were bleeding into the cartridges of the lighter colors. They destroyed two of my Canon Ink Cartridges.Everyone who gave positive reviews for this product is either lying or had their eyes closed. Another fine product MADE IN CHINA.
