3 Stars Amazon says this is the right tank for my printer: It isn’t!
There has been a lot of criticism here of people who’ve complained that they ordered the wrong tank, i.e., a CLI-8PM, when they should have ordered a CLI-8M. Well the same thing happened to me. And guess what? On the page where the tank is displayed, Amazon has a box which says:
“Will this work with my printer?” It then (somehow) correctly figures out what printer I have and announces: “Yes, this will work with the Canon iP5200R printer.” Well, it won’t.
I had to spend $9.99 with Canon tech support last night to find out why my printer wasn’t recognizing my new tank from Amazon. The answer was it WON’T work in the iP5200R. Yes, I probably should have paid more attention, but Amazon pointed me to this tank and told me it would work.
So, this is supposed to be a review of the ink. Ok. I’ve had this printer for nearly four years and it makes beautiful prints. But the ink tanks drain rapidly, even when you’re not using color. I think this occurs because of the automatic cleaning cycle before printing. Also, the ink tanks have plenty of ink remaining when the entire printer shuts down and demands you get a new tank. You can’t even print a letter if, for instance, any of the color tanks are “empty.” So I give the ink quality five stars, but drop it by two stars for the excessive ink use and the way it shuts down until all tanks are refilled, even when they’re far from empty.
Amazon needs to get its act together on this. It’s not worth it for me to return a fifteen dollar leaky ink tank. Instead I’m going out today to buy an HP. I’ve had enough of Canon’s ink shenanigans.
5 Stars Its ink….
Its ink, it works, what i ordered was what i thought it was, so nothing more to say.
4 Stars it’s ink, it fit, it works
It is ink so there isn’t a ton to say about it. I like being able to change an individual color. Beyond that it’s the manufacturers cartridge so it works as designed. I’m mystified by some of these other folks who can’t seem to get the right ink for their printers. I’m only giving this 4 stars though because it’s ink and it just isn’t an exciting enough product for 5 stars.
5 Stars Just what I needed…
For some reason my local Wal-Mart doesn’t carry this item, they carry the darker magneta, in which I also use… Wal-Mart doesn’t carry the light blue ink of this set either, just the darker ink… Strange I know, but at least, it was easy to order through Amazon, and get a good deal, and I didn’t even have to leave the house 
I love shopping online
3 Stars shipping
The product took almost a week to come and the two ink tank boxes were crushed. One of the two tanks is not being recognizedly by the printer. Canon makes a great ink tank but I just got a defective one.
