YATUNINK 1 Set Compatible Ink PGI-5BK CLI-8BK CLI-8C CLI-8M CLI-8Y Inkjet Cartridge for Canon PIXMA MP-500 MP-530 MP-830 MP-950 MP-960 MP-970 MX-850 PIXMA Ip4200 Ip4500 Ip5200

Cartridges arrived in a small box. Each cartridge was individually wrapped properly. No instructions included.Other reviews mentioned that installation can be messy. 4 of the 5 cartridges had no issues, but the blue cartridge leaked quite a bit. Fortunately I had prepared the area in advance, but I still got some ink on my hands. I recommend wearing disposable vinyl/latex gloves. If you do get ink on your skin, it is very difficult to get out. I had to use some diluted bleach.One of the chips on the cartridges had fallen off and therefore did not work initially. Fortunately, I was able to find the chip in the box and reattaching it to the cartridge was not too difficult. You can tell from your old cartridge what the orientation for the chip should be. there is one notch and one hole on the chip - slide the notch against the small plastic post on the cartridge and then press down on the chip so that the other plastic post passes through the hole.I have only printed 1 8 page document so far. Quality is fine - doesn't seem as sharp as previous documents, but I don't see any streaking/bleeding. There is very minor banding in large sections of solid color (I've attached two examples of the banding). Hue/saturation/contrast are all fine.I did see another review mention that longevity was an issue. I don't print often, but if the inks do fail/dry out quickly I will revise.

Clips right in to my Canon printer. Recognized as it should be. Prints well enough for a printer more than 10 years old that doesn’t get used much. Costs what ink should cost.Only negative is some ink spilled when removing the seals. Be sure to have a rag / paper towels underneath the ink cartridge when you unseal it. It might be an issue only because of the altitude here in Colorado.

These ink cartridges fit perfectly in my printer. First giveaway: They don’t light up. Secondly, they don’t work at all!

I replaced all five ink cartridges on my Canon iP4500. The PGI-5BK cartridge leaked two drops upon twisting off the orange cover (I opened them inside a big box in case of leakage). None of the others leaked at all. The printer recognized them and I was able to print a color document with no issues. Considering the huge difference in price compared to Canon ink, I'm impressed. Will update if there are any problems in the future.

After installing these inkjet cartridges my printer will only print blank pages. These cartridges are defective. Not eligible for return.
