Printing a lot less color prints, because of price. Never thought I'd try generic ink, but taking a chance.
 Wrong Ink Cartridge May 8, 2009

I used Amazon's Ink & Toner finder for my MP600. I was shipped the 8PM model when I actually needed the 8M. I opened the package and now I can't return it so I'm out $15. Don't trust the ink finder. It said that the 8PM was for my MP600 printer.
Fix your "will this fit my printer?" gizmo please, Amazon May 6, 2009

Having read the arguments as to whether people were reading the product information incorrectly or what, I thought I would try the "will this fit my printer?" gizmo. It told me that this product *will* fit my printer (a Pixma iP4300) when it WILL NOT.
So, Amazon, sort your gizmo as it is actively misleading your customers.
Don't Trust Amazon's Ink and Toner Finder tool April 25, 2009

I checked Amazon's Ink and Toner Finder tool or the Will This Work with Your Printer? tool that appears with the Ink description according to that the Ink i ordered works with my Printer, After ordering receiving this Ink tank and installing on my printer, a Canon MX700 the Ink tank was not recognized.... Instead of the CLI-8PM I Needed the CLI-8M, but Amazon's tool still shows that this is the correct Ink for my printer when It is not... Now I can't return the ink as I opened the box.
 Amazon says this is the right tank for my printer: It isn't! January 10, 2009

There has been a lot of criticism here of people who've complained that they ordered the wrong tank, i.e., a CLI-8PM, when they should have ordered a CLI-8M. Well the same thing happened to me. And guess what? On the page where the tank is displayed, Amazon has a box which says:
"Will this work with my printer?" It then (somehow) correctly figures out what printer I have and announces: "Yes, this will work with the Canon iP5200R printer." Well, it won't.
I had to spend $9.99 with Canon tech support last night to find out why my printer wasn't recognizing my new tank from Amazon. The answer was it WON'T work in the iP5200R. Yes, I probably should have paid more attention, but Amazon pointed me to this tank and told me it would work.
So, this is supposed to be a review of the ink. Ok. I've had this printer for nearly four years and it makes beautiful prints. But the ink tanks drain rapidly, even when you're not using color. I think this occurs because of the automatic cleaning cycle before printing. Also, the ink tanks have plenty of ink remaining when the entire printer shuts down and demands you get a new tank. You can't even print a letter if, for instance, any of the color tanks are "empty." So I give the ink quality five stars, but drop it by two stars for the excessive ink use and the way it shuts down until all tanks are refilled, even when they're far from empty.
Amazon needs to get its act together on this. It's not worth it for me to return a fifteen dollar leaky ink tank. Instead I'm going out today to buy an HP. I've had enough of Canon's ink shenanigans.
