Colour DirectPGI-580XXL CLI-581XXL Compatible Ink Cartridges For Canon PGI-580 CLI-581 Replacement For TS6150 TS8350 TS6250 TS705 TS8250 TR8550 TS8150 TR7550 TS6151 TS6251 TS8151 TS8251 TS9150-1 Set

A full set of 5 cartridges for £18, what’s not to like. Quality is ok, printer doesn’t complain they aren’t originals (T6350) but I wouldn’t say they last as long as advertised. Printed 100 pages of fliers and the magenta/cyan/yellow cartridges were out.

No problems with these cartridges at all. Easy installation (although, to be fair, that's more on the printer than the cartridge) but they produce a consistently good print quality.

Great product quality printing

I began to load one of these ink cartridges last night. I noted that, unlike the picture of Colour Direct cartridges in the Which? report, all these cartridges lacked a brand name. However, I removed the orange cover to load the first cartridge. Immediately liquid ink spurted all over the adjacent cupboard! I was lucky that it does not appear to have gone on my clothes or the carpet but there are still traces on the cupboard and on two of my fingers after extensive washing last night and today. Were they genuine Colour Direct cartridges? In any case - be warned!

The ink cartridges that arrived are unbranded and the label on each looks nothing like the images of the product being sold. The packaging was unbranded as well. This does make you wonder as you would think Colour Direct would want to sing form the rooftops! Would Colour Direct as the vendor care to comment? I am aWhich? member so will see what they have to say about this. All seems very strange ........

Despite the claims the cartridges sent were not compatible with a Canon TR8550. The plastic studs at the back were completely different from the correct ones and therefore they could not be inserted into the printer. The returns service however was exceptionally good.

Seem to be good value, I will update this review based on print quality in due course. Products are not branded as being from colour direct but they arrived promptly and where well packaged to keep them from being damaged in transit.Editied 17 March, print quality seems fine no discernable difference between these and the printers manufacture approved inks.

As described and print perfectly. My printer even recognised them as 'original' cartridges, when obviously they are not.
