Savings Calculations

Savings are based on use of OEM/Original Canon cartridges
PGI-525: 9ml volume
CLI-526: 6ml volume

OEM Refs: (@ 06 Nov 2012)
Full cartridge set: £47.99 + shipping (ref: http://www.crc-tasktron.co.uk/gbu0-prodshow/526SET.html)
Set of 3 CMY: £27.59 + shipping (ref: http://www.crc-tasktron.co.uk/gbu0-prodshow/CLI526CMY.html)
Individual CLI-526BK: £10.20 + shipping (ref: http://www.crc-tasktron.co.uk/gbu0-prodshow/CLI526BK.html)

OEM Equivalent Cost:
6 full sets + 2 sets CLI-CMY + 2 individual CLI-526BK cartridges
£47.99 x 6 sets = £287.94
£27.59 x 2 sets = £55.18
£10.20 x 2 (526BK) = £20.40
Total OEM cost: £363.52
Saving: £363.52 - 43.50 = £320.02

Note:

  • This calculation has best-cased the purchase of OEM consumables. Comparing against individual OEM cartridge purchases would effectively add 25 - 50% further savings
  • Shipping costs have not been included but again would add further savings (1x shipping for kit vs' multiple consumables purchases)

  1. Excellent ink. Clear instructions. Colour a bit off. – 5/5

    "Having filled the ink tanks with the ink provided I printed out a test page with many different images including photos and colour ramps. It is clear that this ink is predisposed to giving a green hue to print-outs. This has been reported also in the comments on a blog (http://alexeames.com/blog/tag/review/) about this same ink.

    If anyone is interested, this can be easily rectified on a canon printer by going into My Printer > Printer Settings > Main > Setting Colour Intensity to Manual > Set > Putting the Magenta Slider to 12.

    This setting may not stay saved, and it is wise to check it before printing, when the printer settings dialogue comes up. I haven't done enough printing to say for sure.

    Other than this easily sorted problem, this ink is excellent, and the refill kit is simple enough.    "

  2. Great kit with all the specialist pieces needed – 5/5

    "Very pleased with the results. Even had the short plugs for the specific printer :).

    First refill of full set of 5 cartridge took about 3 hours due to having to do 'once only' things like remove labels and sealing ball; remove ink bottle inner seals; find a candle to heat awl; read instructions (again!); etc. I expect it'll be an hour or so in the future.

    My main additional tip would be to use a set of precision digital scales to gauge how much ink still needs adding. I used item VV52G from Maplin to fill to about 40g (PGI-525) / 24g (CLI-526) total weight (with the kit's sealing clip).

    Wish I'd bought an extra set of plugs so that I could refill additional spare tanks for immediate swap over.    "
