Canon PG-40 Black Twin Pack (0615B013)

I got a ip1800 printer with my computer purchase and found that the ink runs out so quickly. I also own a HP photosmart printer and it uses ink more efficiently. HP's #56 ink can normally last much longer even though the print quality is not as good. I just hate to purchase the ink once in a while. They are expensive too.

Considering the free shipping, I haven't been able to find a better deal at shops I have to drive to for ink when my printer runs out.

Unfortunately, for some reason this item could not ship to Puerto Rico so I had it mailed to California and a friend forward it.

I got my stuff for 11 days since order.

Though,I needed it right away at that time because running out of the ink

but fortunately I still could use with the ink left, so my suggestion is

it will be good if delivery between a week.

The good: good clean ink, no smudging, no irregularities - 100% coverage
The not-so-good: runs out faster than you'd like or you may be used to

The "ah ha" experience: you can run it way beyond the light signal on your printer.

I was disapppointed when I got my new Cannon Pixma and had to switch to the 40-41 line of ink (rather than the 50-51). The cartrideges appear to run low of ink (by the signal on the printer) far before you are ready to pay for a new one. My suggestion? Just keep running it. The quality remains the same and you can nearly double the amount of use. Knowing this, has made it much more of a value and certainly less financially annoying. It also saves time in not having to buy the cartridges as often.
