High Capacity Black Ink Cartridge for Canon MP170 & MP450

Great cartridge, but life seems short.......2007-05-13

I bought the larger cartridges because I had read that they last so much longer. However, after having used a couple of the more expensive cartridges (which cost 50% more than the PG-40) I am convinced they do not last 50% longer than the regular cartridges. In fact I saw very little difference. After examining the boxes, I realize that the larger cartridge only holds 22ml versus 16ml for the regular (37.5% more). It doesn't even seem to last a third longer to me.

So I will purchase the regular cartridges from now on. Same print quality, but a better value.

Wrong ink for printer. .......2007-05-13

This ink was suggested for the Canon MP460, It was the wrong ink when I finally received.

Got a Canon Pixma printer with a new computer system. It prints nice enough, but it goes thru ink like Foster Brooks goes thru Foster's Lager. Print about 20 pages and the low ink sign comes on; print another 20 or 30 pages and it's time for another overpriced cartridge.

Junk!

I bought this high capacity cartridge because I read that it works with the Canon ip1700 printer. Apparently this is not true for US printers, but it is true for European printers. Unfortunately, canon support had no help for me, so I opted to manually put the ink from my new PG-50 into my empty PG-40. It was much easier than I expected, as I just had to remove the tops from both cartridges, and swap out the ink soaked sponge. A little super glue and scotch tape to hold the top in place so the ink didn't evaporate, and it worked great!

After looking at the amount of black ink that the sponge had for both cartridges, it is apparent that the high capacity gives more ink per dollar, but it does take some effort to get it to work.

Good luck, and I hope this helps.

The black ink cartridge for my Canon Pixma is double the size of the color cartridge and is very easy to install. Print quality is excellent. Good price, fast delivery/
