This ink is as good as most brand inks manufacturer of the device. In my case, the multifunction machine MP270 from Canon. But the best ink is useless if the device is a merciless ink suction. Because Canon makes it as more or less all of the manufacturers of printers and multifunction devices: The devices are good and reasonably priced, but what man / woman paid less the device, you pay at the ink on it. Since particularly the photo print cartridge is sucked literally, I can only strongly advise against the devices of this cartridge and great for photo purposes, 4- or 5-cartridge devices from Canon, since they are much more fruitful for photo purposes.
