Ive had this ink for about 2 months.. and this ink is holding in well! and for 34-40 dollars.. you can not beat that deal because at walmart itll run you up to 50- 55 dollars..so its cheaper on amazon.. and when they say it lasts 3 or 4 months on black only ink... they are telling the truth.. and it will save you tons of money..ive tried it.. and vie been spamming black and white pages left and right every day for about a good solid month and a half..what i learned is i turn down my black and white ink settings on my printer... go in and turn off color ink.. on my pinter driver settings.. and only print black and white images... and always look at the print preview before printing and also do not print pages that i do not need...i also do not print pages with images i do not want so it saves ink.. i also like to print pages with text only.. but if an image is important.. i do print alot of mini images but i try to stay away from images that over alot of the page.. because that can kill your ink...text only pages and very very few images is what will save you ink.. and make sure you print previews have everything you want and nothing you dont want..printing off some websites tend to throw some advertisement pages at from and end.. so when i go to print.. i only print the middle pages and the front and back pages i copy the text and put those text into a notepad or word pad and print from that notepad or word pad.. i do not have to save the document before printing.. but its good to save 1st..so for black and white only.. the trick is to cut down on anything thats not considered black and white that you do not want.. images that are big and very very colorful burn up your black ink fast because the colors still have color shades and the lighter colors will eat up less ink.. where as the darker colors will burn it up quick..and ive found that if theres something i want on a page i print 1 page out.. cut that image or text out with sheers and than scan that image with another print out so i can combine the 2 pages into one and make it look the way i want it.. and leave out anything i do not want.. this saves alot of ink...you can also do your own templates for print outs.. and just copy the text on pages and just paste those texts intp notepad.. print those out of notepad.. and then cut the text out with sheers and center your custome made template around the desired text.. and you can even reposition the text for more professional documents..ive found out the printer will print out computer text will nicely through notepad alot better than off some websites.. and the type of text format you use will save ink as well.. and if you lasy and dont wanna type something out.. you can take an ink pen and write out a note on paper.. and scan it and print the note.. and than add that note to your future print outs.. good for custom advertisements for flyers..printer and this ink, you can be very creative and there is many many ways to save ink.. if your creative.. everthing you do on your print job counts toward the ink.. and ive also found certain colors from colored notepads and such are considered white when they print out.. its weird but its neat.. like for instance the colored note pads from the dollar tree.. but id be careful with this idea because it may not always work with all paper.. theres something about the color the printer think its white which allows you to save ink and still have your notes organized in color..i hope this helps!DURATION OF INK: I bought this cartridge about 2 months ago and im on half.. mostly because i experienced with too many big images.. and im still printing stuff!

It's nice to have a cartridge with enough ink to print a few pages and this XXL cartridge does that. I just wish there were decent and cheaper alternatives.With that, this Canon XXL black cartridge performs excellently and does give many more pages of print. The Cartridge pops right in the same slot of the regular PG-240. Thanks Canon!

Great replacement cartridge for the Canon printer. They arrived quick and it was nice to see that the ink was cheaper than buying a new printer with ink in it for once. I bought the cartridge about 4 months ago and it still has a lot of ink in it. As with most, I seem to use a lot more black ink than color in my printer. The last Black cartridge I bought was an XL and lasted almost twice as long as the standard cartridge. I'm hoping this XXL one will last a much longer time. We will see as there is only so much space in that little cartridge.Seems that most printer manufactures, sell the printer cheep but make up for it selling the ink cartridges. For a while I just bought a new printer with ink in it when the printer ran out because just one ink cartridge would cost almost twice what a new printer cost. Most of the time I could find the printer on sale at about $30.00 and the ink would be $60.00 to $80.00 at stores that sold them here. Then I would buy the manufacture refurbished ones, they were far cheaper but sometimes it would be hit or miss if they worked. Then I would buy the refill kits and refilled them my self, they would work for a few refills but then would develop leaks or would just stop working..This cartridge lasts longer than the ones that came in the printer and are from Canon. For home use it is great, at least for the printing I do. I don't know how good they would be for a home office with a high volume of printing, in that case I think I would opt for a printer with much larger ink cartridges.

Good

Yep, working just fine. We all know printer ink is expensive, especially OEM ink. Been using this ink for several months now and no issues. So, recommend.

Hate paying for these damn things.But these cartridges are as described and shipped quickly.

That cheaper ink just doesn’t work on my Cannon copier. Really creates a mess. This is perfect. Trust the real deal

After having 3rd pallet ink cartridge fail, and gunk up my printer, I only stick with the cannon original. Compatible, high quality, lasts longer, and no worries. Works great. Never had issues.
