are these empty tanks or are they full of ink for the 5.99

They have ink. Truthfully at this point these have lasted me longer than the canon brand or the office Max brand ever has. People said in reviews they leaked upon installation. I'm not sure if they were just clumsy or what I had no issues with that. I will definately buy again! There was one extra cartridge of grey that I didn't need for my printer. But so what it was $5.I may plug it in to the black when it runs out see if it does the trick...

They are full of ink, all that it is said is true. All five different cartridges are full. CHECK THE SELLERS REVIEWS before buying.

It has the ink already. You just pop them into your printer and you're good to go.

The tanks come full of ink. I agree with one reviewer, Grey Hound family.......I have never experienced any leakage. That reviewer who experienced leakage was either clumsy or a shill for the OEM manufacturer trying to stem the loss of business these cartridges seem to be syphoning away from the "High Priced Brand". Ink quality is the same, lasts just as long and has NOT clogged my printer. Go with these and spend your money on something else!

They are full. I don't use my printer everyday but the ink lasts just as long as name brand ink.

hi, you take the cartridge out and fill it with ink, and when you reinstall it, the printer SHOULD show it as "full", but that doesn't always happen, sometimes the level just stays the same on the status monitor, but they seem to work great anyway. hope this helps- I've had mine for well over a year, and still have lots of ink in the bottles, just remember to shake the ink bottle a little while before you are ready to put ink in the cartridges, as the molecules do settle in the container-or so I have read in several places. happy printing

I don't know. I just know that when I put the ink in my printer that it showed empty. I would not waste my money on them.

The setup cartridges have a much smaller ink supply but should last a month or so. There are refill ink bottles advertised on ebay but Cartridge World tells me that even though they can be refilled, the printer will not print with them until the cartridge chips are reset and Cartridge World does not yet have the software to reset them. The XL cartridges have 11 ml of ink and I spent almost as much on a set of six as I spent purchasing the printer-around $17 each. Don't know how much ink should be in the standard cartridges. Nice printer though.

Yes, they do have ink in them. If they say XL then there is a lot of ink. If it is a start-up, then the quantity of ink is the same as what comes with a new computer, which is not much ink. (How long they last is based on number of pages printed, so comments they lasted a year mean very little.)

Yes, there was ink them. But they didn't work, and they ruined my printer. I had to buy a new printer. Not worth the risk IMHO.

they are full cartridges, they do not come with refill ink. They worked great for our office i would purchase again from this vendor.

yes you get the full 8 refills...only problem is they dont have the top piece, so you need to use the top from the original ink cartridge.In the picture it is shown-the black top.

They have new and used cartridges. I bought the new ones and it shows that it's full, but I haven't used one to the empty level yet They work just like the one I had before. I'm very satisfied with them. It does say not to refill them because once their empty the mechanism it it won't work to show the ink level.

The answer is yes to both. They are a little bit bigger (at least they seem that way to me), and they contain more ink.

I have not had them refilled or tried to refill them. This printer is only used when color is absolutely necessary. But these work very well. I read that some 'compatibles' do not have certain circuitry required by the printer. These cartridges do have it.

If they are empty, you should get 4 ml into the colored, or 7 ml into the larger black cartridges. (that is not necessarily their official suggestion, but simply what I have experienced.)

Yes, the tank is transparent and you can see the amount of ink remaining. If you are using a Canon printer, however, this will not matter as these cartridges have a sensor that tells the printer how much ink is remaining. Once the ink runs out the printer will refuse to print until you replace the cartridge. If you are asking this question I'm guessing maybe that feature of your printer is broken.

I wouldn't have a clue. They just came in a clear plastic bag with no markings. I would dought for this price they are archival. They do however work perfectly for what I need which is making screen printing stencils.
1379578
Yes. They come with cartridges that can be filled with ink. They come with a small tube of ink.

It comes with ink but the cartridges are supposed to contain just enough ink to setup the printer. However so far I have printed out about six 12 inch x 12 inch heavily colored t-shirt transfer prints and still have ink left. Because the spec said setup ink tanks, I ordered a full set of spares along with the printer. I think that printer manufacturers sell the printers for under cost and then make all their money on selling ink. By the time you replace the tanks twice on many printers, you will have spent more money on ink than on the printer. Just the same, I think it is an outrage not to include a full set of tanks with a new printer. It comes with ink but the cartridges are supposed to contain just enough ink to setup the printer.

I believe they are full cartridges. I purchased a different refurb cartridge, but it didn't work well at all. These cartridges work just fine. Not sure if it is refillable. Never tried.
