The Canon "XL" ink cartridges are a super value. They last much longer than the basic ink cartidges simply because they have a larger ink capacity . Vivid color,bold black, great for photos,too. I have tried several brands of printers and the Canon Pixma 250M can't be beat. I only paid $39.99 for the printer and it came with two regular capacity ink cartidges, which was cheaper than just buying the cartridges. Using the XL's makes the value even more impressive. I am a Canon-only printer person now.
What's great about it: Great value,long lasting,true colors,bold black,excellent for photos
What's not so great: It's hard to find the XL combo packs.
