Do these cartridges clog up the printhead? Do they leak? What is the quality of these ink cartridges and how does it compare with OEM ink cartridges?

I have already gone through several of these cartridges. Had to do a lot of printing in the past few weeks. They performed perfectly. No leaking ink when installing them, no problems with head clogging. Hope this helps. IrvR.

as i have stated before, they seem to be as good as oem equip. for a pixma 922 i think they are better than the canon ones!!i find that all of the cartridge printers i have used tend to clog far too frequently - that is canon (2 types) and HP (2 types). in all cases, it is fairly simple to do the clean process regardless of the printer.i have never had a leakage problems with any of the printer - cartridge combos that i have owned.

So far I have not had any issues with these ink cartridges. Currently, I have only replaced all but one original. Quality of the ink appears to be the same as originals. I'm hoping that by the time I get to use all of them, it will be worth the investment.

One of the main reasons I bought the printer I have is because of these cartridges. My son has a photo only printer, and he's had no problems for years. I'm on my second set right now, and all is good.

I have an IP7220 and I am about 3/4 of the way through my box of 30 cartridges with great results. I had a couple that were bad, but it has been a great value. I am not convinced that they will damage the canon printer, but if they do, I will buy another $100.00 printer with some of the money I saved. I ran generic cartridges in my old epson printers with years of great results. I will purchase again.

They did not seem to clog the print head Or leak. However, it's as if not enough ink is able to come out of them. On fast draft you get half a blank paper. On regular print u get something that looks like fast draft quality. There is no good quality.

I use them exactly the same way as brand name cartridges. I bought at least 8 of them quite a while ago and still have two left. They work just fine w my epson 520 I do know a friend of mine has some compatibility issues w his hewlitt packard. And yes, they come filled just like the brand name but are so cheap that it might be a good idea to risk trying them. Good luck

I don't know about your printer, but I use them in my Brother printer and they work flawlessly . . . Considering the fact that I paid over $30 for a black OEM cartridge and that I got a whole bunch of CMYK cartridges for a considerable amount less. It's a deal I can't afford to pass up.

I understand your concern, that was my concern when I bought these almost 2 years ago. These are fantastic! I have not had any issues with clogged heads or printing quality issues. I print here and there 10-15 pages/week average. I have refilled 2 of the color cartridges but the amount of ink the cartridge hold will last a very long time. Like I said in my first review I think the color quality is better than OEM Epson inks. Hope this helped, plus if you do have any questions Ink Owl is very quick to offer help to resolve the issue.

Yes but you don't want them the cartrages leak. You will need to clean the leeking ink up and count yourself lucky if it doesn't foul you printer

The ones I bought worked fine. They don't last quite as long, but seem worth it for the price. When you install one, it does show up on your screen as a counterfeit/refilled cartridge, not authentic "new" hp, & you have to verify that you want to use it. Hp doesn't like people saving money on ink for their printers.

I've definitely had them over three months (in the packaging), and have had no trouble when I've popped a new cartridge in the printer. Quality is good, longevity is good... So far, no problems! When leaving cartridges in the printer for a long period of time, I find that the heads need cleaning because they dry out. Even though this uses up ink, the quality afterward is good. I just do a test print when the quality is funky, to identify the trouble cartridge, and then I clean the heads.

I don't know but have never had a problem with any of these ink cartridges. I have tried the ones that are not Epson brand that are refills or knockoffs and those did not perform as well.

I've been using these cartridges, and have not had any problems, which is no help to you at all. I'm so sorry. It could be a one time manufacturing glitch, which is certainly not reassuring.

Victoria, I have had them two weeks and they are working fine. The unused ones have a good seal on the ink discharge point and each cartridge is sealed in a air tight plastic wrapper. I don't anticipate them drying out.

Same happend to me this ink clogged my print heads, only way to fix it you need to take the print head s apart and clean them with the right products, look in youtube I believe there is a link about how to repair. I just went and bought another printer

I've used 'em for my HP C4820 with some success but you're really limited by your ability to deal with the cartridge itself. Eventually the printer refused to recognize the other party's cartridges I was filling and also refused to recognize that I'd filled a used HP cartridge. /sespite a long, tedious process of "resetting" the printer, "resetting" the cartridge and so forth, I still had to buy a new one. InkTek ink didn't clog the printer's jets and did save me some money on expensive HP replacements. BTW, fill 'em over a surface you can clean; that ink is permanent on fabrics!

I haven't had any problems with ink quality. It is comparable to Epson ink.

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...

Oh my I had the opposite problem! I was getting the ink system failure message before which made me consider a new printhead. I didn't know Amazon had them so I've ordered a new printer. Since it didn't help you maybe it wouldn't work for me. The reason for my problem-using remanufactured non OEM ink, the black cartridge was leaky. I thought it would be alright after wiping off and I did print some pgs. The problem was when I tried again about a month later..that's when I got the "ink system failure" msg and nothing I did took it away!

Oh yes' another thing, third party ink will harm the print head. Ask me how I know. If you want ink other than Canon I suggest get refills at " Cartridge World" I have never had a problem with them. Best of luck
