The ink pack you mention includes the photo-black that is used in the Pixma iP4200 photo printer (this printer uses all 5 cartridges). There is also a 3 pack available that includes only the three color cartridges used by the mx700. It doesn't include the #5 Black that is sold separately in a single or twin pack.

Does anyone have a library of Canon or Epson printer service manuals? We sell many different obsolete yet brand new Canon and Epson printers and occasionally we need to offer support.Thanks,http://www.thequickshipwarehouse.com/

There are different Canon printers that take 2 sizes of the black. A #5 and a #8 as well as the 3 different color #8's. The MP830 is an example. Other Canon's such as the MX700 only use the 3 color #8's and a #5 black. There are packages out there that do not include the #8 black I believe.

Alan, I do not have the printer you have, I have a similar PIXMA MX880 so I can not confirm this ink set fits your printer. However, go here http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_corporate_graphics_art_printers/pixma_ix6520#SuppliesAndAccessories to confirm Canon that Canon does list this ink product number under your printer model number. This is the cheapest total cost (before shipping and tax now) that I have found for genuine Canon ink.

Hi, I've owned two excellent Canon printers with 5+ ink cartridges each. Because I do a lot of photographic printing, I run through my inks more quickly. I actually keep a chart of when and which colors get replaced. I am able to anticipate my replacement needs better that way and can have spares on hand in advance. In my case, the colors that I use fastest seem to be yellows, then magenta which surprised me. I am looking to purchase another Canon printer and will only look at ones with individual ink tanks.

I think the black cartridges hold more ink than 5 mls. Its the 3 slot color ones that hold 5 mls in each color section

Just like the 8500, it has a black cartridge that is larger than the three color cartridges, BUT, it is a different part number than the 8500 (ie, they aren't interchangeable). It is faster and very clean on the prints. I do not believe the color inks are involved in printing black.

I have a Canon Pixma MX870 printer. Sophia Global ink works very well with it. But read the installation directions carefully! Even though it looks like Canon ink, it installs slightly differently and will make a mess if you don't follow directions (sad experience speaking).

They are compatible with Canon PIXMA MX700. However, when the ink leaked into the printhead, I had to replace the printhead for about $60. Not worth it for me. I went back to Canon branded cartridges.

When I used generic cartridges, sometimes the printer accepted it and sometimes it would not. So here's what I did: I saved all the original Canon ink cartridges that came with the new printer and then purchased a 2nd set of Canon cartridges (at a discount on eBay). When the originals were getting low on ink I then installed the 2nd set. I then "refilled" the first set with bulk ink from printerfillingstation.com. It's a Christian business that sells superior bulk ink at a discount for your particular model. When the 2nd set started to get low, I replaced it with the "refilled" cartridges. This worked because all the cartridges have the original Canon "chips" on them and you always have refilled cartridges on hand. The only thing you "must" do is monitor your installed cartridges every couple of months, so that ink does not completely run out. This is easily done because the cartridges are in clear plastic. Refilling the cartridges is also a learning process, so be patient, follow the instructions carefully. The rewards are worth it as I am now on the 3rd refills from the same sets of cartridges and my printer is working just fine.

Hi Jazmin. The ink refill kit worked for my Canon MX430. The trick is to convince the printer that the refilled cartridge is not still empty. Somewhere on the web I found information on how to bypass the "empty" signal, but I don't remember exactly how it was done.

This ink is 100% brand new in Canon sealed individual packages within a single Canon box. When you purchase this ink, you are getting the exact colors that are supposed to be used in the corresponding printer. I have tried "refills" and found that sometimes the ink used is not the exact color needed, thus causing the final print out to be off color.

I also have the MX922. The replacements contained both the double-wide black 250 and the black 251, 2 of each (plus 2 of the cyan, yellow, magenta). I had to replace the 250. This was my first replacement and it didn't go in quite as easy as my previous Canon, but I think that is the printer itself and nothing to do with the cartridge.

Sorry, don't know what else it could be. Just make sure you've replaced the correct black cartridge. I think the smaller one is the photo ink and the large is regular text...which always empties the fastest for me. I had a Brother printer that would take compatible color ink but would only accept genuine brother ink in black. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have a Pixma MX922 that takes these same ink cartridges. I purchased the ink4work 5 pack at the same time and these cartridges work just fine at a great savings over Canon cartridges.

If you look at the slot your black comes out of, you will see that the black is almost twice the size of the other colors. The way the toners are setup, you can ONLY use one size for each slot. So, the color slots are narrower than the black slot so you get more ink with the black. Hope this helps!! I just love my photo printer!

I have the MX922 and this is the ink I use. It works perfectly, exactly the same way the Canon ink does. Don't hesitate.

I am not quite sure on mx432. I filled Canon MX310 with this ink. It worked fine. Be sure to clean the cartridge if it does not print. It might get plugged up. It should work for most brand names.

&gt;For some low end printers, it's almost cheaper to buy a new printer than to buy replacement cartridges. Exactly, I just bought the MX860 and will test it against HP C7280 (both brand new still in box). Problem is that I can't find third-party toner for the MX860. Those CLI-221 are availible only without chips and I am worried that to some design and patent scheme that will not change. I am guessing that replacing a full set of toner twice will be more than the initial printer cost. For HP I can find descent (according to some reviews) third-party toner. Yet I am guessing the MX860 is a better machine...I'll have some decisions to make.
