  • Last 3 cartridges purchased have NOT lasted anywhere near what it claims it should print!
This Canon PG-245XL printer ink cartridge does NOT last anywhere near as long as it claims. I've found that these cartridges, which are supposed to be the XL (more printing) are going empty just as fast as the smaller/regular ones. Also, be sure to notice the prices for these cartridges. Amazon has them for 1 x PG-245XL Black = $25.99, 2 Pack = $139.99, 3 Pack = $198.99, 4 Pack = $257.99, 5 Pack = $315.99. Anyone else see a problem with Amazon's math? You can buy 5 individual cartridges for just $129.95, as opposed to purchasing the 5 pack "deal" for over $300. That's inconceivable! While the CANON PIXMA MG2520 is a great printer, the last 3 Black cartridges that we've purchased from Amazon directly have run out VERY quickly and haven't lasted anywhere near the claims of others on here. Maybe we received a bad batch? We don't know. We will be needing to order more ink soon, but we may look into the generic/aftermarket/non-Canon ones this time around since this low ink issue keeps happening. Finally, we've cleaned the heads, run the alignment, printing on Draft or Regular mode, and we are NOT talking about the software telling us that the "ink is low". We are talking about installing a brand new cartridge on April 3rd, then printing maybe 100 sheets of half page text, and it's already spotty and running out. That's simply unacceptable. A good example would be going to a dealership to buy a car that states that it gets 35 MPG, yet after purchase it only gets 12 MPG, even with minimal use. :-/ ... show more

  • It’s just not affordable
I have a canon MX492 wireless all-in-one printer and this is the ink (PG-245) that it requires. Honestly, I’ve been considering purchasing an entirely new printer because the price of the ink just continues to increase. It’s reached all the up to $50+ dollars sometimes now! I found this ink being the lowest price, both online and in various stores; however, when I compare the sizes of the regular standard ink cartridge to the XL version of this one that I just recently purchased, I see no obvious difference in size. They appear to be exactly the same!? I don’t know…. I just think this ink is beginning to skyrocket and it may be more budget friendly for me to simply buy a new printer after doing some research on various ink prices…. I’m including a few photos of this XL cartridge compared to that standard size version. Hope that helps! ... show more

  • barely any ink
I fell into the trap and bought the "XL" thinking it would give me more pages than the regular cartridge....WRONG. This is such a scam and waste of money. At $25 for this & less than 70 pages printed (probably more like 50 in the last 2 months, but I'm rounding up) it costs more than $0.35 per page. Wayyy more than just going somewhere to print. So annoying. Do yourself a favor and listen to the other reviews that this is a ripoff. I am about to purchase an "off" brand because the name brand clearly means NOTHING. ... show more

  • Can't beat the quality and dependability of a manufacturer original replacement
Back when I did a lot of printing, I used to buy cheaper no-name replacement cartridges. Now that the printing volume has drastically reduced, I've decided to switch my priorities to a replacement cartridge that I know will not cause me any future problems by buying the manufacturer's cartridges. Prices at Amazon are about the same as other places, but I can always count on them being reliably delivered when promised and knowing if there are any problems, I can return it with ease. ... show more

  • Good price!
I am unable to buy a replacement cartridge for my printer locally, so online is the best way. I have had trouble with off brand cartridges because Canon is tricky when it comes to their use and I have had to return some because of error messages! So, this time, I went for the Canon brand, XL toner. It will last me a long time. It was shipped quickly and well packaged. I anticipate no problems, but if I have any, will supplement this review. The price was darned good! ... show more

  • Saved the day!
We really needed new ink for our printer and unfortunately our local low budget, never has anything in stock, walmart can't seem to stock this ink so we were pleased to see it offered on Amazon at the same price and free shipping. Works great. One less reason to go to walmart.

  • Canon 245XL Black ink
This ink is less expensive then buying in local stores. It works well in my printer. The printer recognizes it as the proper ink, and it lasts for a long time. I don't always print a lot, it goes in spurts, but I have been printing with the same ink in the cartridge for nearly a year. So, I am very happy with this product. It arrived quickly and the seller was prompt in sending and packaged the product well. Very happy with every part of purchase. ... show more
