As we offer to test the Pelikan C54 printer cartridge was just right. A little put off by the bad reviews I was initially very skeptical. But what can I say? My fears that the cartridge is not recognized and the only printer error messages were not confirmed spits.
The insert or replace is quite easy: open the cover, remove the old cartridge and then the use of Pelikan. Previously you should here Remove the protective film, which protects the contacts. And you can already print. My Pixma MX535 has recognized the printer cartridge and printed directly without a murmur. Unfortunately it is not possible to check the ink levels. Here you realize that the cartridge is empty, when the printed image is faint. But well, it will cost the Pelikan cartridge only half, so I can well do without it.
And the results speak for themselves: Before I replaced the cartridge, I printed a test image with the originals of Canon and after the exchange the same picture again. Here there is no difference on the 2nd glance to recognize. The colors are saturated and are faithfully reproduced.
Who is looking for an affordable alternative for its Pixma MX535, which I can only recommend the Pelikan C54 Printer. They are cheap, give the color well from without smudging and have a capacity of 16ml. This you can not follow through and of course whether the cartridge last as long as the original is in the stars. Nevertheless, I forgive good 4 stars, as it is this is a low-priced brand-name product, which is a good alternative to the original cartridge. For us who occasionally print cartridges Pelikan are perfectly adequate.
