Comments about Canon Canon BCI-6 Kit, Set of 8 Inks for Canon i9900 and iP8500 8 Color Inkjet Printers.:

There is no substitute for the real thing. There is NO substitute for the REAL Canon inks. I'm a professional illustrator/photographer/publisher, and accurate color in my documents is essential. Canon's got the formula with its inks.

I have tried third party inks including a continues feed upgrade. Stick with the Cannon product, you will not go wrong.

Cheaper substitute inks won't do it.

Comments about Canon Canon BCI-6 Kit, Set of 8 Inks for Canon i9900 and iP8500 8 Color Inkjet Printers.:

Years ago I had a stereo salesman tell me that a system is only as good as the weakest component. I only use original Canon ink for that reason. Not everyone has a good ear, but eyes? Come on. Why scrimp for a buck here or there. I've tried other ink. Not Worth It!!!!

Great Price for a great product

Comments about Canon Canon BCI-6 Kit, Set of 8 Inks for Canon i9900 and iP8500 8 Color Inkjet Printers.:

I believe that only the Canon i9900 uses the extra red & green ink that this package comes with. It's only an extra $3 to get the two extra cartridges vs. ordering just the normal 6. High quality cartirdges for a high quality printer. Let's just hope they keep making them.

Great results...initially

Comments about Canon Canon BCI-6 Kit, Set of 8 Inks for Canon i9900 and iP8500 8 Color Inkjet Printers.:

I've owned an IP8500 for over two years now. The pros: outstanding printer for great initial results, conservative ink usage, and inexpensive price per tank. However, the BIGGEST CON is the fade resistance. With the experiments I've done, they fade horribly...even on Photo Paper Pro after as little as 6 months! I queried Canon about this and they say their newer CLI inks are not available for this printer. I asked why not and they just said that's just the way it is. Nice. Before you buy, get a sample and see how long it lasts and save the frustration. With so many online places to get prints, it is getting harder to justify spending this much money on a home printer.

Great price [...]

Glad to find the REAL Canon inks, not "compatibles." And the price was the best I found. Now, if they'd only make the ink LAST longer.....

Comments about Canon Canon BCI-6 Kit, Set of 8 Inks for Canon i9900 and iP8500 8 Color Inkjet Printers.:

Using manufacturer inks seem to help prevent fading. I had been using non brand name inks from various suppliers and the printing results were fine, but photos faded quickly

Comments about Canon Canon BCI-6 Kit, Set of 8 Inks for Canon i9900 and iP8500 8 Color Inkjet Printers.:

Receiving all 8 inks in a single "kit" makes sense to me, specifically because of the great price break. [...] Yes, I have to purchase the occasional extra Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta cartridge separately as I run through those two inks more than the other colors, but the cost effectiveness of purchasing the 8-tank kit helps keep my supply costs down.

Comments about Canon Canon BCI-6 Kit, Set of 8 Inks for Canon i9900 and iP8500 8 Color Inkjet Printers.:

I like the low price. I do not use my inks at the same rate so I need to suppliment the purchase of all the inks with individual colors.
