I haven't used the ink a yet. I assume it is Canon ink. The price was very good.

I've had my canon i-9900 for a number of years now and have been thrilled by its quality and durability. Last time I was buying a set of ink tanks for the printer, I thought I'd give refurbished tanks a try and save a whole pile of money. Not worth it, no matter how appealing 6 tanks for $10 sounds. The first refurbished tank I put in worked fine for about two prints (after making a bit of a mess on the tank carriage when I put it in), then stopped delivering ink into the wick (white cotton swab part of the tank). My printer didn't know there was anything wrong because it still detected ink in the tank (which there was plenty of). I had to put my finger on the top air hole of the tank and squeeze to get any ink into the wick. Upon further cleaning and inspection, I found that a lot of ink had leaked out of the refurbished tank and into my printer, which was leaving streaks on the back of my pages. Several hours of cleaning later, I was back up and running, with the other unopened refurbished tanks in the trash where they belonged, and canon ink in my printer. No trouble since.

Given some earlier reviews, the refills worked much better than expected. Although not attractively packaged, being shrink wrapped did nothing to affect the usability. Photo printing is very good and text printing is just fine. Like everything else, some customers may find the occasional lemon. I did not and have no qualms about ordering again. An excellent buy!
