Digital camera reviews of Canon BCI-3e Black Twin Pack (4479A271)
Digital camera Review: Best price
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best price on the ink for my home printer. Elsewhere the price is higher.Digital camera Review: Can't get out? Need a print cartridge?
Summary: 5 Stars
Many stores don't stock all the types of Canon printer cartridges. Hop on your computer and order what you want, with an attractive price, and avoid driving all over town looking for your cartridge. Sometimes the postage seems to cost more then simply going to the store. Many times, you just don't want to take the time to drive around, using up gasoline and time. So, you go here to amazon.comDigital camera Review: Canon worth the money

I've tried refills and non-Canon products. They simply do not work well with our Canon Pixma ip5000. I only buy these.Digital camera Review: Defect Noted
Summary: 5 Stars
Not that we have much choice. You buy the cartridge for the printer from the Mfg, period. Just choose the seller with the best price and service. Have been buying these two packs from you for years (and the printer!). Not the current purchase but the previous purchase, we noted that the clip on the side of the cartridge was broken, disabling it's ability to function in the printer. Calling Amazon Customer Service, we were quickly credited appropriately. No Problem, thank you.Digital camera Review: Good ink for a good printer
Summary: 4 Stars
The Canon IP-4000R ink cartridges are straightforward to install and give great performance. I replace them when the printer warns they are getting low, and as a result I haven't had to deal with streaky or discolored prints. What's nice about the cartridges is that they have a sponge next to the tank through which the ink flows, and so that even after the printer detects that the tank is empty, there's enough ink in the sponge to keep going for awhile until the next one can be ordered.
The fact that all of the colors can be ordered independently, rather than buying a single "color cartridge" means that you know you're not wasting ink, being forced to discard partially full tanks. I had thought this might also mean that some tanks would naturally last longer than others. However, for whatever reason, I find that I have to replace all of the tanks within a couple of weeks of each other anyhow -- normal printing seems to use up the ink fairly evenly.
Brand matters, too. I have used non-Canon replacements before, as they were cheaper, but they had a tendency to drip ink and be messy during install. I managed to find some original Canon cartridges at an extremely low clearance price through one of Amazon's partners here, and so I have recently been able to get the brand-name cartridges at even less than generic price. Keep an eye out for these sales and stock up -- the ink is rather expensive otherwise, which is the only reason I'm not giving it all five stars.
