question for photographers: Is the color quality of prints made with these inks as good as the Canon inks?

I am not a photographers, but I can tell you that the colors of the prints are more vivid than those of regular pictures. We never used Canon inks.

I'm not a professional photographer, but I do take and print lots of photos. And I am quite demanding, regarding quality. I consider these inks to be comparable in quality to Canon.

Hi L,I have never used it to print photos yet. But, from what I can tell, the color printing from websites is good! Black/white documents don't seem to be as clear as my old canon, but , honestly, have not used it very much since i bought it... sorry can't be much more help, but, let me know what you think?Chris

They have always worked for me. They do not last as long as the Canon ink. Just make sure the cartridges are clicked in properly. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I don't know ... what I do know is they work for me, but I don't do "high detail" or "fine art" printing. Mine is just family photos ... and the quality pleases some very picky family members. I'm satisified.

I only buy the Canon Color Ink / Paper set #KP-108IN, and follow the instructions in the box. This kit provides the ink and matching print paper all in one. They both exhaust at the same rate.

I ended up not using these inks, they would not print labels and were so light, I could not make it out. The ink they use is not dense enough, I am thinking and that is probablywhy they are asking you to order from Canon. Good Luck

My printer is a 5420 Pixma, so I am not sure if there is much of a difference in the ink cartridges, if any. I found this ink package great price. It came bulk packed in a bubble wrapped envelope, which is fine for me. Also prints great color photos with gloss photo paper.

According to Lexmark to print true black you need a bit of the colors as well. With my Canon I seldom used the color and they go down, it seems to me each time you start the machine it tests and uses ink. I wish they made it so you did not have to install the color tanks.

Unfortunately impossible to answer. Dependent on a wide variety if factors including print quality selection, paper type and the amount of color on the page. Anecdotally I think the HP uses a bit more ink than comparable Canon product in the same use scenarios.

I've just begun using these inks. The photo images are super. Can't see any difference in these inks as compared to other brands. As to quantity, I can't give you a number on that. I haven't run a large number of prints to cause an ink color to run out.

We are now on our third or fourth set of cartridges in our Canon MG6220 with no problems at all. I am leary of using this ink for photo printing if I want pictures that last for many years. Otherwise.....this ink is great!

Yes i have been using them a while now. The black isnt a deep black. But its black enough. The ink is good for everyday printing. Dont expect photo quality prints. The color is a bit lighter

I am unable to answer this question because as long as I have been using these cartridges I have had no problems. However, I print all color on the "high" setting which perhaps makes the difference. I print a lot of colorful greeting cards nd the color always comes out perfectly.

Yes the cartridges are virtually the same as the Canon units with plastic wrap, orange cap, pull strip and chip. I did not do any kind of actual comparative ink analysis, but the prints look great...Hope this helpswdm

I do not make Photo quality prints so I really can not answer you question with any certainty, however when using cheap regular printing paper I do see a noticeable difference in the quality, the colors tend to fade and run.

If you need to use dye inks you will have to switch printers, perhaps the Canon Pro series will do you well. As for the bulk ink systems, unless you are using a system by the manufacture you can expect strong degradation in the color gamut and / or image life. Sorry to say, if you want quality prints, it doesn't come cheap!

as i have stated before, they seem to be as good as oem equip. for a pixma 922 i think they are better than the canon ones!!i find that all of the cartridge printers i have used tend to clog far too frequently - that is canon (2 types) and HP (2 types). in all cases, it is fairly simple to do the clean process regardless of the printer.i have never had a leakage problems with any of the printer - cartridge combos that i have owned.
