What customers say about "Cartridges"
Canon PIXMA MG3050 All-In-One Printer
- Excellent printer. Good colors of this one.
- Vivid colors, easy to setup, good connect. Great device.
- Compact printer, knows everything what an usual household needs. Perfect colors.
- The printer will not work with only a black ink supply. Awful.
- Both (black and colour) of them seems a bit small to compare to my previous printer cartridges.
Canon PIXMA MG3550 All-in-One Printer
- This printer works very well on the Canon cartridges.
- It possesses two ink cartridges (no fiddling with all those individual colours) which are easy to replace.
- Ink cartridges reasonable and don't seem to dry out if you don't use it a lot.
- All in all a very good two cartridge all-in-one.
- The drawback is the size of the cartridges. Cartridges didn't last long.
