COLORETTO 245XL 246XL Ink Cartridge for PIXMA TR4520 TR4522 MX490 MX492 MG2522 MG2525 MG2922 MG3022 IP2820 Printers as Replacement for Canon PG-245XL CL-246XL Combo (1 Black+1 Color)

I own a Canon PIXMA TR4522 all-in-one printer, and as expected, was mildly disgusted by the fact that printer manufacturers are STILL running their "ink racket." You know the one, where one full set of ink cartridges costs almost as much as a whole new printer, the "standard yield" tanks are half-filled, and the "high yield" tanks are actually full...I do not print very often, and as a result I end up using more ink for the self-cleaning cycles than I do for actual printing. It didn't seem prudent to pay for genuine Canon tanks when most of my ink ends up soaked into a sponge inside the printer, so I chose to search the aftermarket world. In the sea of Amazon sellers, I stumbled across Coloretto and thought I would give them a chance.The tanks arrived properly sealed, and in minimal eco-friendly packaging. The box itself, and accompanying literature, are made with recycled paper, nicely fitting the theme of recycled cartridges. Installation was just as mildly-awkward as the Canon cartridges are, but this is due to Canon's design. My printer recognized the new tanks immediately, and showed them as "full." Ink levels as I have used the printer have dropped at a rate I expect, and even though Canon's software is now bugging me about low ink levels, I have seen no loss of output as I have seen in the past with other brands, leading me to believe the manufacturer isn't "short-filling" them to increase profit margins.Print quality is actually BETTER than the original Canon tanks, there is less bleed-over; this leads to crisper images and clearer text/lines. The black ink is slightly darker than Canon's, which may make color photos print out a tiny bit darker, but you really have to do a side-by-side comparison to notice.My printer, and these tanks, have been stored/used in my "man cave" aka garage, a garage that is not climate-controlled. As such, they have been exposed to the full outdoor temperature and humidity ranges of New England. All winter long they suffer sub-freezing temps until I fire up the kerosene heater and they get warmed up to the 70s. I've never had a leak or any issue with them whatsoever. I don't have to perform multiple "deep cleanings" if I don't use the printer for a few weeks, like I often had to do with the Canon tanks.I am happy to support manufacturers that provide a good product, and that is why I just ordered my second set of Coloretto tanks for my printer!For reviewers that have sought out assistance from the manufacturer and cannot find a way to do so, they *do* provide a customer service Email address on the small card that the cute little iguana paper clips (free gift) are attached to. {{[email protected]}} I haven't had a need to contact them, as my experience has been quite satisfactory.

I am a repeat buyer of these cartridges because they work just fine, and they a less expensive than the name brand cartridges.

Great value

I just installed these the other day and like many other off-brands..... the printer doesn't always like them. It blinks at me continuously to let me know the ink is about out. But this is a small price to pay for the savings.These cartridges work as expected, give a good quality print and I recommend them. Four stars for the slight printer incompatibility issue.

I bought this item not really knowing if it would work. My experience with refurbished toner cartridges has been mixed. Some have worked and some have not. These cartridges seem to work well. So far they have excellent print quality. Since this is the first time I bought this product, I am not certain about its longevity. I do not use my printer that often. For me, about once or twice a month is average usage.Hopefully these cartridges will last at least a year.

Works great and I have had no issues so far printing. It's by far much more affordable than Canon (which is the same price for ONE). The colors print well and are true. Easy to install.

I tried refilling existing cartridges and that didn't work well at all! The price of the Coloretto High Yield cartridges was better than most. I was VERY impressed with how well the cartridges were packaged, including a cleaning wipe in case a cartridge leaked, actual instructions in English and a high quality print. I'll be buying these again.

Good for value of money spent

I recently purchased this ink toner, and the entire experience has been nothing short of impressive. From the moment the well packaged box arrived, I could tell that attention to detail was a priority.The ink toner was securely nestled inside the box, sealed in a protective bag. Installing it into my printer was a breeze, and my printer instantly detected the new cartridge. The test prints were flawless no leaks or smudges just crisp, clear documents that exceeded my expectations.What sets this ink toner apart is not only its performance but also the thoughtful addition of a cute chameleon paper clip. It's a small touch that adds a delightful and unexpected charm to the overall package. It's the little details like this that make the entire purchase experience memorable.I appreciate the care taken in the packaging, ensuring that the ink cartridge arrives in pristine condition. The seamless installation process and the successful test prints are a testament to the quality of this product. It's reassuring to find an ink toner that not only meets but exceeds performance expectations.If you're in search of a reliable ink toner that delivers consistent, high-quality prints and comes with a charming surprise, look no further. This product has won me over with its attention to detail and exceptional performance.

Worked so far. I got the black and colour cartridges. Easy to install in my printer. Came quick. Was the best price. Also came with these cute paper clips (my photo) on the instructions.

The 246 XL cartridge looks used and refilled for one thing it is rough looking and the Black 245XL cartridge looks rough as well but the black will associate with printer however the color cartridge will not. Both cartridges feel full but I paid full price for new cartridges # 1 and my biggest issue is the color will not work. I just finished a color cartridge 246 XL with same printer and was very happy with it , had no issues. Not impressed with with this order. I need cartridges asap to print.

I have only had this product for a few days but what I have used it for so far has been good. Great print quality and value for the money.

I have a Canon TS3420 and these cartridges work great and without issue so far. Good print quality for what I need. Fast delivery.
