Excellent Price and Performance
2009-06-21This product is an excellent product at a great price. I tried BRAND X in my Canon iP 4200 printer but I only got mixed up colors and unusable photos. I am done with any brand but original Canon inks. Amazon's pricing make this possible with thier low pricing on original Canon Color Ink Sets.
Low cost ink
2009-06-10After spending a lot for ink cartridges, I decided to buy a generic instead from Sophia Global. Worked great, will buy again.
Canon CLI-8BK Ink Tank - Black
2009-06-07I use the CLI-8Bk Black Ink Tank for my Canon IP4200. All my ink tanks typically get used up at almost the same rate on the Canon IP4200 so I usually just order the Canon CLI-8 4-Color Multipack Ink Tanks package, which consists of: CLI-8Bk Black (this ink tank), Cyan CLI-8C, Magenta CLI-8M, and Yellow CLI-8Y.
*If you need all 4 colors, the Canon CLI-8 4-Color Multipack Ink Tanks is a much better deal.*
Quality
-------
The CLI-8 ink tanks produce pleasing tones and true-to-life colors for photos. I find that the high quality photo prints rival those from the photo lab.
Compatibility
-------------
The CLI-8C, CLI-8M, CLI-8Y, and CLI-8Bk Ink Tanks are compatible with the Canon IP and MP Inkjets. DO NOT confuse these ink tanks with the closely-named CLI-8P ink tank series: CLI-8PC and CLI-8PM - these ink tanks are NOT NECESSARILY compatible with your printer. If you have a 5-tank printer, chances are the CLI-8PC and CLI-8PM aren't compatible with your printer!
Value
-----
I stint on ink and print my documents almost exclusive in grayscale at the DRAFT quality mode (my Canon IP4200 printer uses this cartridge AND the CLI-8C/M/Y color cartridges even though I don't print in color). I can get about a full ream's worth of paper (double-sided) on 1 cartridge. However, with higher quality printer, the ink cartridges get consumed much more quickly.
It is evident from the reviews that the price of ink is a major concern for most people. You should ideally use only genuine Canon ink cartridges but if you're strapped for cash, you can purchase the cheaper generic versions (non-OEM) of the CLI-8 cartridges.
- CLI-8 4-Pack
- CLI-8 Magenta
- CLI-8 Cyan
- CLI-8 Yellow
- CLI-8 Black <-- non-OEM equivalent of this cartridge (Canon CLI-8Bk)
I have not verified that they do in fact work as claimed so try them at your own risk!
Bottom Line
-----------
The Canon CLI-8C/M/Y/Bk ink cartridges may be expensive, but they deliver consistently high quality text and photo prints.
Avoid Cannon printers
2009-05-15I put this in my printer and it doesn't work.
I actually think that the cartridge is good. The amber light doesn't stop and I can't find anywhere where it explains why. I think that something in the printer is bad and there's a chance its this ink.
Excellent ink
2009-04-15While pricey (and Amazon is the least expensive place to purchase that I have found) this ink is excellent and almost worth the extra money. I would not trust generic ink tanks. My last machine got ruined because of cheap ink- didn't turn out to be a bargain at all. This Canon ink is right for the machine, and picture prints look just beautiful!!!

Advantages Of The DV Camcorder
Introduction
The DV camcorder, or digital video camera, has many advantages to offer consumers. Camcorders have come a long way from even the analog camcorder. There are many benefits to using a digital video camera. Some of the advantages that may send you to the store for your own are its compactness, its quality of picture, and its versatility. You can use your digital video camera to transfer your VHS movies to digital tape. You may find that the technology is also much better with a digital video camera.
A camcorder derives its name from its ability to operate as both a camera and a recorder. This electronic piece of equipment has been used by countless families to record baby's first steps, birthday parties, weddings, graduations, etc. These recordings of sights and sounds have provided many hours of family entertainment as well as amusement to television audiences through the capturing of hilarious antics.
Camcorders have evolved over the years. The evolving of camcorders ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents.
In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
