Many attempts in the lower price segment were frustrating and big changes: Some manufacturers Text Black was not pigmented, then some colors were only half filled or have printed only after many test pages and cleaning cycles halfway, other models had very pale colors in short, not worth your money and taken care of stress and frustration.
Original Ink Canon is good but just extremely high-priced.
Fortunately, I have not given up the search and finally found what compatible a brand manufacturer!
I have my printer for A3 graphics and photos in action, use different premium photo papers (up to 300g / m²) and can not tell the difference in direct comparison with Canon ink. A professional test pattern with gradients and rangy graphics were perfectly displayed no leaching, no voids or stripes Everything was top!
The cartridges were detected by the printer immediately and the level indicator is very accurate so I have no more misprints due to poorly filled cheap cartridges.
Pelican goes the right way, which I liked as a consumer: equivalent quality to the original, bright colors, pigmented black and the capacity of XXL cartridges and to buy mid-priced!
I'm really glad I've found these cartridges and printing now really gives me joy again.
Hope to have helped!
