Summary: Don't Settle for Imitations!
Comment: I've had Canon printers using this cartridge for more than a year and won't settle for any of those knock-offs. Yeah, they're often much cheaper, but this is one area where you get what you pay for. Brand X fades and does not perform as well in the inkjet system. This has been confirmed in independent lab tests in a leading PC magazine. I have had to install and remove countless cartridges and NEVER spilled a drop. The pop-in, pop-out design couldn't be easier.

Summary: Good Quality Ink for an Inkjet Printer
Comment: The BCI-3eBk is good quality black ink for an inkjet printer. I have used this ink for a couple of years now and don't recall it smudging on the pages I print. The price on this product (compared to HP products) is fair, but I am able to print a 100 to 200 pages before running out of ink. Of course, you will get more pages out of this cartridge if you print more color graphics than text.

Summary: Nice Product
Comment: This product is very easy to use, but the thing I don't like is that it can be somewhat messy when you are taking out the old cartridge. Unless you are really careful, the ink as you are removing the old cartridge will get all over you or/and your desk. Other than this, I think it is a good value, and the quality of the product is excellent.

Summary: Better than Generic
Comment: If you own a Canon printer, buy a Canon ink cartridge! That is my warning. Generic ink cartridges may look the same as their OEM counterparts but that is not the case. The little sponge that the ink comes out of has some kind of defect so the ink spreads out unevenly and your document or photo will be smeared with ink!!! So even if you find a great deal at $1.99 or better, stick with the official Canon product - it can't be beat.

Summary: Great ink..
Comment: Not much to say besides it's very easy to install and quite inexpensive compared to the other brands (HP, Epson, etc). The best thing about this ink is that it doesn't run out very fast. I've printed numerous docs (say about 500) and many invitations (say 500) and I'm still on my first tank.

I do recomend getting this ink for all you who do have a compatible printer. In my opinion, messing with generic brand ink somehow leads to problems down the line. You may be saving some money now, but down the road when you'll be kicking yourself when the generic stuff breaks or clogs your printer.
