Canon CLI-8 4-Color Multipack Ink Tanks

The CLI-8 from Canon is a pack of four high-capacity color ink cartridges that use long-lasting Chromalife ink for bright and vivid results. Compatible with Pixma models iP4200, iP5200, iP5200R, iP6600D, MP500, MP800, and MP950, each of these four ink cartridges yields up to 280 pages, based on five percent coverage. The ink is also resistant to fading and smudges, so everything you print is sharp and clear. What’s in the Box One cartridge each of black, cyan, magenta, and yellow ink tanks.

Canon has poured all the Know How of its extraordinary history of developing innovative office machines into each of its copiers, printers, and networked office systems. The same superiority of design and manufacture goes into all of the Canon-branded consumable imaging supplies and parts for this equipment. Naturally, no one makes better parts and supplies for Canon products than Canon. Using genuine Canon parts and supplies is your best insurance against equipment damage, and (more…)

    Just an FYI; the ink set shown here (CLI-8BK, CLI-8M, CLI-8C, and CLI-8Y) also match what’s needed in the Canon PIXMA MP530, save for the Canon PGI-5BK 2PK (sold separately). (As of this writing, the MP530 is not listed in the compatible printer list, though the MP500 is. Considering how confusing all this typically gets, I thought I’d mention it.)

    Price is great; even better if you’re with Amazon Prime (free 2-day shipping and inexpensive overnight shipping).

    had an attitude
    This package came with a black ink tank that will not run in my Canon ip3500, although Amazon said it would.

    To correct an earlier reviewer, the bundling of these inks IS APPROPRIATE. I have a Canon Pixma MP830 and it uses the 4 CLI-8 cartridges along with the 5PGBK. You do not have to buy the bundle if your particular printer does not use the 5PGBK. Anyway, I checked all the major suppliers for genuine Canon cartridges (versus compatibles) and Amazon’s price beats them all, especially with free shipping and no sales tax.

    Check multipacks carefully…
    I ordered this pack in 2008 and just today needed to add the black tank to the printer. When I went to install I found that the cartridge was missing the plastic pressure tab that…

    I use the CLI-8 series ink tanks for my Canon IP4200. I use my printer primarily for printing text documents and only occasionally print pictures.

    [Bordering on the ridiculous: 6/08 and Amazon is selling this 4-color pack for two dollars less than the 3-color (which omits Black 8). I've already accumulated 5 spare Black 8s from previous 4-pack purchases.]

    I’ve discovered that the inconvenience may outweigh the few dollars saved by purchasing the combination pack. My Cyan and Magenta cartridges lasted only 4 weeks and 6 weeks respectively while the others are still going. Purchasing more combination packs would have resulted in a backlog of unused ink. You might order the package now and then (I wish it included Black 5 ink), but given the staggered depletion of ink cartridges, it frequently makes more sense to order the single cartridge. Moreover, the combination of Amazon’s one-click ordering and no-postage Prime membershp makes it no less practical for the consumer to order individual cartridges as they expire (though I’m sure Amazon prefers to send out large quantities in the same order).

    Great ink
    Love the canon ink. My Pro9000 uses 8 colors, but it is nice to be able to buy just 4 if that is all I need. This was a good value also.

    the only one that works
    Unfortunately my Canon MP830 will only use Canon cartridges which are expensive. having said that I love my Canon all-in-one.

    Make sure you know what your printer uses
    I was happy to get a multipack with all 4 inks, 3 color and 1 black. I typed in my printer number and everything, and it showed they will work with my printer.

    amazon says these cartridges will work with my printer, but will they?
    I have a canon pixma ip 4000. I bought this set of cartridges from Amazon, not noticing that they are 8′s, not 6′s, (which we have always bought), because the menu said yes!

    Outstanding Product
    As always, when I purchase Canon Ink Tanks, they functioned without a hitch. I simply had to insert them, run through the alignment process and I was in business.

    Amazon’s Inks broke totally my printer
    I bought from Amazon Canon CLI-8 4-Color Multipack Ink Tanks. I installed them recently. Couple days after all the ink tanks leaked in the printer.

    Wrong ink for MX700
    This ink was listed as the correct ink for the MX700 under the ink finder information presented by Amazon.
