Digital camera reviews of Canon PG-40 Black Ink Cartridge
Digital camera Review: Greatest Ink Cartridges Yet
Summary: 4 Stars
I really do like my Canon printer that I use this cartridge with. I second the comments on choosing the fast print or draft option to extend your black ink. The same is true if you are making copies too. Just select a lighter setting. I found that the next to the last darkness setting works great for all of my copies.
I use the "low ink" message to remind myself to buy another cartridge, but I find that I will often have up to 4 weeks before I actually have to put a new one in. Print until there is no ink left.
I have tried refilling ink cartridges and buying the generic one also, but none of those options lasted as long as the actual Canon 40 Black Ink Cartridge.
I also noticed that this particular cartridge doesn't "gum up" like some of the generics have. It provides very clean printing quality. Definitely buy the Canon cartridges instead of the generics! Also buy the color cartridge at the same time if you can...buying both will qualify you for the free S&H.
Digital camera Review: Helpful Hints for this Cartridge
Summary: 4 Stars
My first PG 40 lasted only 2 months, disappointing as cartridge cost was one of deciding factors in buying my Canon Pixma MP 170. $20 (Staples) was low compared to previous printer cartridge but not for two month usage. With next cartridge, I used "fast" print option and continued to use for 1-2 months after "low ink" message appeared, this one lasted 5-6 months, which is o.k. for cost. I then had one refilled at Cartridge World and it lasted only 45 days, tho I was doing somewhat more printing during that time period. Use "fast/draft" option,and ignore low print message,--- just print till it's out of ink ----and it will last much longer. I will probably buy from Amazon as cost is lower (providing you order $25 and get free S & H) and this is hard to find in my area.Digital camera Review: I Need More Ink

Well, I can't get too excited about a review for a ink cartridge. What I can say is that ordering through Amazon is always a safe bet at a quality price. Very happy with my ink.Digital camera Review: Ink Cartidge
