Canon CLI-8Y Compatible Inkjet Cartridge Yellow for Canon Pixma iP4200/iP5200/MP950 Printers (w/o Chip) This high quality Canon CLI-8Y compatible yellow inkjet cartridge will work perfectly for Canon iP42…
Customer Review: Works for my MP800
Original I saw other reviewers’ opinions and didn’t order from Amazon’s sellers. So I went to other website and ordered other compatible CLI-8 ink cartridges for all colors, cyan, magenta, yellow, black and the PGI-5 Pigment Black for my MP800 printer.
Then when the items arrived, I found out they were made by G & G, the same manufacture as this. I thought I wasted the money since other users
said it didn’t work for them but I still tried those cartridges I ordered.
I removed the chips from original Canon cartridges and installed one by one on the new cartridges, it was easy to remove the chips from Canon’s cartridges.
For the chip installation, there are two types cartridges that use different methods to affix the chips.
One uses the double side tapes, you need to use the tape to stick the back of the chip and insert the 2 tiny holes of the chip onto the cartridge’s 2 tiny poles to affix it.
The other doesn’t use tape, the cartridge has bracket to affix the chip.
Either way, they are easy to install.
Next, I put all 5 cartridges to the printhead and see the light blinking
for all 5 cartridges, then I know the printer recognizes the cartridges like the printer manual said.
Next I printed 2 4X6 photos and compared with the Canon OEM ink, I couldn’t tell the difference.
Then I am afraid the ink would clog the printhead, I checked printhead and printed out the printhead pattern and it was good.
So I am sure they were working well so far, still there was something in my mind that they were too good to be true, then to clear my doubt, I printed 30 4×6 photo all at once the see if the ink cartridges really work that good, surprisingly, they were gooooooooooooooooooood.
I was worried.
I spent minutes to install and hours to print tons of photos and I am
confident to say they work as good as you imagine.
I hope my review helps you to decide if you want to compatible ink or not.
To me it worked out perfectly.
Customer Review: Stay away from this product!
IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH IP6600D. AMAZON HOW COULD YOU LET THIS PRODUCT RUIN YOUR REPUTATION AS A RELIABLE ONLINE STORE!
Cheap prices doesn’t always results in savings…Just get an original canon ink.
