Canon CL-41 Color FINE Ink Cartridge

Displaying or storing inkjet photo prints in rooms with high temperatures and humidity can cause ink migration (ink bleed) and loss of sharpness in photos. Genuine ChromaLife100 inks provide exceptional resistance to these negative effects when used with Canon Photo Paper Pro paper.

Photos printed with Genuine Canon ChromaLife100 compatible inks and Canon Photo Paper Pro paper are designed to resist real world conditions that can cause a photo to fade. Photos printed using Genuine Canon CL-41/51/52, CLI-8 and BCI-16 on Photo Paper Pro PR-101 will retain sharp edge definition, even after exposure to high temperatures and humidity. Some products, on the other hand, can be susceptible to bleeding and may not maintain image quality under such conditions.

Most Helpful Favorable Review:
The price at Amazon was the best I could find at the time I was shopping for this product. I have decided that using anything other than genuine ink products made by the company that made the printer (no matter which brand) could contribute to my printers not lasting as long as I think they should! What I do like about Amazon shopping is no shipping and handling over $25 in purchases and no state tax and I do factor that in when doing my comparison shopping. What I also really like about Amazon is their fast shipping and good communication about the shipping!

More Helpful Critical Review:
This cartridge is working well for me, but you don't get a whole lot of printing out of it. I'm used to B/W laser printers where I change cartridges every several years! Here I think I'll need a new color every month and a new B/W every two month. I think the model 41 has larger capacity than the slightly cheaper model 31. I previously tried a third party refill for this type of cartridge. Not only did the colors come out wrong but it did not communicate properly to the computer that the ink cartridge was full. I guess I'll stick with the Canon originals. 5 stars except for VERY frustrating how limited the capacity is for the price. POSTSCRIPT FEB 2008: I WOULD CHANGE THIS REVIEW TO ONE STAR IF AMAZON WOULD LET ME. THE INK RUNS OUT SO FAST ITS BIZARRE. CANON MAKES SUCH GREAT CAMERAS, WHY CAN'T THEY MAKE A MORE EFFICIENT PRINTER?
