This is the lowest price I have found for this product. The big-name stores charge over $30 more. I have purchased 3 now and all were excellent quality, delivered quickly, no problems at all.

Not sure how much I can say about a print cartridge. Either it works, or it doesn't. This works. Installation is fast and easy, so no complaints. Lasts about as long as they claim it should. Obviously it would be a lot nicer if it were half the price, but that's how the manufacturers sell their printers at ridiculously low prices -- they make it up on the cartridges.

I have a Canon ImageClass 6550. I have used it to make copies of my notes and homework for a class I teach in Chemistry because I am not compensated for it. With 28 students and making printout of homework that altogether consist of 8-19 pages 28 times (224-532 pages) which uses up the cartridge fast. I also make printouts of my notes which could be 30-60 pages per chapter (840-1680 pages). This uses up the cartridge fast. Alternatively, when I make copies the density is too high and I have to lower it manually. Moreover, I have to take the cartridge out and reshake it several times; otherwise I get white streaks on printout. So switching between copying and printout is not without problems. So I dislike using the 6550 for copies because I believe it uses up the cartridge faster. Moreover for the same usage of about 3000 pages, I can use an HP 1320 with a cartridge that costs $76 from HP. This Canon cartridge costs $155 and is slowly rising. The Canon cartridge strikes me as being doubly expensive. Which would you rather pay, $155 to Canon or $76 to HP for 3000 pages? I think the cartridge is not competitive in price and performance compared to HP.
