Original cartridges must not be! Who prints and much relies on classic multifunction printers, the expensive original Canon cartridges can hardly afford well. In addition, you can not see through the opaque plastic housing there the actual ink level. A rogue who thinks evil of it ... The products of Ruck-Zuck sin in the colors and the print image properly. The filling is easily visible and the chip works flawlessly. I can only recommend this cartridge.
