Great cartridge, but life seems shortMay 13, 2007
By Michael Horvath "music aficionado"
I bought the larger cartridges because I had read that they last so much longer. However, after having used a couple of the more expensive cartridges (which cost 50% more than the PG-40) I am convinced they do not last 50% longer than the regular cartridges. In fact I saw very little difference. After examining the boxes, I realize that the larger cartridge only holds 22ml versus 16ml for the regular (37.5% more). It doesn't even seem to last a third longer to me.

So I will purchase the regular cartridges from now on. Same print quality, but a better value.

Flaw in logic and math of previous reviewerAug 30, 2008
By Robert M. Twardowski
There is a flaw in the math and logic of a previous reviewer who stated that this cartridge only has 37.5% more ink then the PG-40. The reviewer obviously is missing a very important and significant part of the equation. (i.e. the saturation point of the sponge).

In other words, if the sponge of the cartridge retains 4 ml of the ink. Then the PG-40 cartidge only has 12 ml of effective ink (since 4 ml is retained by the sponge). Therefore a cartidge with 22 ml of ink = 22 ml - 4 ml saturation point of sponge = 18 ml of effective ink. Which would be 50% more ink then the PG-40 cartridge.

You have to consider everything that effects the output of a product when performing a scientific or mathematical equation. Neglecting the unobvious parts of the equation and only focusing on what is obvious and is in "front of your face" results in serious miscalculations and errors in reasoning.

Furthermore, by considering how much ink is retained by the sponge, it also shows that you gain more then you realize when you refill ink jet cartridges. Since the sponge is already pre-saturated with ink at the time you refill it, then any ink you add will be used as part of the output when printing pages. So by refilling this cartridge with 22 ml of ink when it runs out of ink, then you effectively have a 26 ml cartridge. And this applies for every refill, since after the first time the cartridge is filled up, the sponge is pre-saturated and any ink added will be directly used by the printer. Something I think a lot of people who refill their inkjet cartridges do not realize.

I believe the most important thing to look at when purchasing an inkjet printer is which printer is the best for refilling. You can buy a very large bottle of bulk ink for around $20. You can get over 2000 printed pages out of a single inkjet cartridge on this printer. This is by far one of the easiest and best inkjet cartridges for refilling. Granted the Canon has a few annoyances when you refill cartridges, but those are easy to get around, and if anyone has any refill questions I'll answer them in the comment section.

Make sure it is the right one for your printerApr 16, 2007
By Will Grigsby
I bought this high capacity cartridge because I read that it works with the Canon ip1700 printer. Apparently this is not true for US printers, but it is true for European printers. Unfortunately, canon support had no help for me, so I opted to manually put the ink from my new PG-50 into my empty PG-40. It was much easier than I expected, as I just had to remove the tops from both cartridges, and swap out the ink soaked sponge. A little super glue and scotch tape to hold the top in place so the ink didn't evaporate, and it worked great!

After looking at the amount of black ink that the sponge had for both cartridges, it is apparent that the high capacity gives more ink per dollar, but it does take some effort to get it to work.

Good luck, and I hope this helps.

works as advertisedNov 22, 2008
By Tim D. Mckay "digital maven"
Canon does a good job with their ink. I even printed and printed and printed with low Black ink message on my Canno Pixma MP160 for more than a week until it finally quit giving ink.

Works Just As You ExpectSep 17, 2010
By D. Gebs
Of course ink cartridges are just a simple staple for any office. These canon cartridges have performed very well. I'm very weary of recycled, refilled, or off-brand cartridges since my previous printer died quickly after beginning to use off-brand cartridges. My Canon printer has only ever had Canon brand cartridges and has performed very well for 4+ years now. The cartridges have always printed clearly without gumming up.
