I recently purchased a Canon Canon Pro 9000 MKII to replace an Epson 2200 photo pinter. I find the print quality using this printer to be outstanding in comparison to the Epson. The color rendered by these inks are very accurate and the detail provided by the Pro 9000 MKII is easily seen as superior to the Epson 2200- as it should be since the Epson is 8year old technology.
I purchased the 8 ink tank multipack to tray and save money. I rated the multipack as 3stars because, while it is less expensive than buying individual ink tanks, a more cost effective option that Canon should offer is a 4pack that would include 1 cartridge each of Photo Magenta, Photo Cyan, Yellow and Cyan. These are the colors that are used by the printer by a factor of 2 to 1 of the others. Canon CLI-8 8-Color Multipack Ink Tanks
This product isn't quite listed correctly. It should be listed specifically as the Canon CLI8 Value Pack for the Canon Pixma Pro9000.
This particular printer model uses all 8 of these cartridges at once.
Listing Canon CLI-8 Value Pack BK/C/M/Y/PC/PM/R/G (0620B015) as I have stated, would prevent issues such as the gentlemen who wrote a review saying he had to return this item because he thought it was a double 4 pack so he ended up with 4 cartridges for which he had no use.
I've printed various Kodak C-print and Cibachrome papers in the darkroom over the last 30 years, and none come close to the quality I get with my Canon Pixma Pro9000 teamed up with CLI-8 inks. In addition, these inks outlast the photo materials and have a wider gamut as well.
I don't think you can find a lower cost than at Amazon.
When you want professional results, prints that you resell, there is no reason to experiment with cheaper, non-OEM inks. When you consider the time spent in the darkroom running test prints for color balance and exposure plus dry-to-dry times, these inks would still be a bargain at their full price found at the retail store. At Amazon, savings of 40% or more make a sweet deal!
Bought an expensive Canon Pro 9000 Printer, so can not see any reason to compromise with generic ink. So far, Amazon has the best price for the real thing. Sometimes I think the manufactuers should give you the printers for free if you obligate yourself to purchase ink from them. Comparatively, the price was not too bad for this.
There's not much to say about printer ink cartridges. Either they're the right ones for your printer or they ain't. These are right for the Canon PixmaPro 9000. All replacement cartridges are overpriced. The price on this pack is about the lowest I have found so far.
I own the PIXMA iP6600 Canon printer which has only 6 slots for the CLI-8 ink tanks leaving out the Green and Red tanks. However, purchasing this 8 pack, with no use for the Green and Red tanks, ended up pricing out to be the equivalent of purchasing the Canon CLI-8 4-Color Multipack Ink Tanks ($43) and then the Canon CLI-8PM Photo Magenta Ink Tank ($14), and Canon CLI-8PC Photo Cyan Ink Tank ($14) Seperately. Of course, shipping is also free thru Amazon with ground shipping so my total which would have been around $71 for 6 tanks ended up being just $75 for the 8 pack. $4 more for $28 worth of new tanks.
Obviously I have no use for the CLI-8 Green & Red tanks but they retail for $14 a piece so maybe I'll just sell them or give them to a friend who has the PIXMA Pro9000. Just a suggestion to those of you looking for ink. (*If prices change since I've typed this review I apologize)
Canon ink is a very good product. I have had not problems in the printer or on the different papers, clothe and vellums I have used it with. I created clothe banners with the inks and they hold up well at art shows.
The Canon cli-8 8 packaging is really handy to be able to buy all the colors I need at once. I use the Canon pro9000 13" wide printer. The red and green inks are a great addition to the ink series for great colors for my art prints.
I always purchase my large 8 pack from Amazon for the value. Great price and great shipping. - Pro9000 - Pro 9000 - Canon - Pixma'
