Could have sworn this area was for reviews, not venting how one ordered the wrong cartridges. Anyway, I have not had any problems with these ink refills, the resulting print colors are great, the photos are adequate considering my particular Canon i550 printer is not a photo printer. They last fairly long too, compared to my previous Epson printer.
i agree with others that the canon ink systems are too closely named. you would think that a BCI-3E would fit a system that uses BCI-3E inks. we now find that it fits BCI-32e systems.
First of all, the package contained the wrong colors. THe black did not fit the printer. None of the cartridges produced ink. I had to throw them all the way. Lesson? If the price sounds too good to be true, beware.. A $15 lesson.
Canon ink cartridges are the best for Canon printers, but Amazon should provide better information about the compatibility of the printers and ink tanks they sell. I bought a Canon i850 photo printer from Amazon and these BCI-3E Photo Ink Tanks are NOT compatible while the BCI-3E Color Ink Tanks (ASIN: B00004U8RN) ARE compatible. Yes, both are called BCI-3E. Go figure. I ordered the wrong ones and had to return them. I suggest being very careful before you order or buy them from somewhere else where you get better information about compatibility.
