Black 100mL Refill Ink Bottle Compatible for PGI-280 / CLI-281 XL PIXMA TS9120 TS8120 TS8220 TS9520 TR8520 TR7520 TS6120 + Replacement Tool Kit Syringe Injector

I have tried several brands of inks for cartridges 280 and 281 in canon TS series, this product has a very good price because you can refill for a long time without spending a lot of money but unfortunately the quality is very poor, the colors are not vivid, they do not have much contrast nor brightness however for regular "non-professional" prints is more than enough.I would like to try the cartridges that are also in the store with the same brand to test how it works, however the price is a little high as well as the risk that the quality is the same.For black and white or color prints on bond paper is an excellent choice, but prints on Glossy paper or high resolution paper I would not recommend it entirely.

I love my new TS9020 PIXMA printer, and am very happy with most every aspect of it. The main draw for me is the ability to use after-market inks, and this set of SIX colors (5 Inks, 1 Pigment Black) is just the ticket for my machine. Today, I did my first refill. Rather than wait for the messages and pop-up windows to begin, I just opened the top of the machine, took out a cartridge and set it upside-down of a single piece of folded paper towel. Then I opened a bottle of the corresponding color of this bulk ink, and put ink in drop-by-drop into the cartridge. That first color I did, Magenta, took about 140 drops to make it look like it wouldn't hold any more (it quit being absorbed by the sponge) I just used a tiny corner of paper towel and absorbed the excess off the top of the sponge, and there was NO problem. I placed that color back in the printer - and it did NOT drip - removed the next color and this time just squeezed a stream of ink until the cartridge was full, and plugged each on back in machine, and repeated that until all had been "topped off". BINGO! In under ten minutes, all were refilled or topped off, and I was done! No muss, no fuss, and I managed to only get about four drops of ink on my skin. Even if you wait until the ink dries on your skin, this ink comes right off with just a drop or two of dish soap and a mild scrub with a dish sponge. In spite of washing off skin easily, it has all the gloss and depth of the original ink, apparently mixes perfectly with the original, and I could not detect the difference with my eye between the original and the refilled ink results.The cartridges I refilled were the original Starter cartridges. I had read somewhere that unlike other brands, the Canon Starter Cartridges hold even more ink in them than their Standard cartridge. With the amount of printing I did before refilling, I can believe that. The printer recognized them as the Starter Cartridges, and simply asked me if I wanted to continue printing. I have printed a bunch of heavily-inked prints since, just to check the results ("Perfect!") and occasionally I got a pop-up window that said this-or-that, so I just pressed "OK" or "Continue Printing". Sooner or later, I will hit the right combination of buttons and it will likely just keep working without questions, I suppose. Maybe I will just re-read the instructions on how to turn off the ink monitoring again! Just pouring the ink into the big hole on the bottom of the cartridges until no more ink goes in is incredibly easy. Refilling all of them at once is fast , and very convenient - even if you have no idea what you're really doing, like myself. This ink is one of the best purchases I have ever made, plus I have a set of syringes and long needles for other purposes now, as I simply don't need them for these cartridges.

I discovered that with a set of E-Z Ink cartridges, you can squeeze by the cotton and fill the reservoir directly through channel hole. And clear visualization makes it easy to check levels.

*Update* So I've used this for 8 months now and it is great! I used on multiple iron on projects and it holds up great. I've only had to refill twice. Canon does send a message about non-OEM ink but I've been able to override getting that message.Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2019It is messy even using a tray, paper towels etc. When you push down on the needles sometimes they put out more pressure than you applied so too much ink comes out. It is kind of messy but sure is worth it. The print quality looks pretty good too. I'm going to attempt to use it on some iron on transfer paper. We will see if it comes out and stays on after washing..

No instruction came with the ink, I had to go line to find out how to refill. No sealing plugs that are required. Would not buy again.

I have been refilling my printer ink cartridges since 1989. For the past 10 years and current, the printers are counting the prints and and the ink cartridges are counting down to a refill point regardless of your refilling the cartridge. If you have no idea as to how to reset the ink cartridge chip back to zero prints, this ink is useless to most users. This is great ink but not for most printer users

This is such a life saver. I print on my Canon Pixma printer almost daily or at least a couple times a week. Paying full price for those ink cartridges would be insane with the way I print. This is such an economic way to go for heavy printing use. The colors are great. I cant tell any difference in the way it looks. I went on YouTube to find out how to fill the cartridges. It is super easy and pretty quick to do. Took me about 15 mins.

I almost returned this due to lack of instructions and the mess is considerable. My husband also couldn't find which black to use for which cartridge, so he had to guess. Print quality and value for the money are fine.
