I recently purchased the TOKYOINK Remanufactured Ink Cartridge Replacement for my Canon Pixma MG2522 printer, and here is my comprehensive review after a month of use:
Installation
Installing the cartridges was straightforward and hassle-free. They fit perfectly into my Canon Pixma MG2522 without any issues, and my printer recognized them immediately. The instructions provided were clear, making the whole process smooth.
Print Quality
I was pleasantly surprised by the print quality of these remanufactured cartridges. Both the black and tri-color cartridges produce sharp, vibrant prints. Text documents come out crisp and clear, while photos and colored graphics have good color accuracy and saturation. There was no noticeable difference in quality compared to the original Canon cartridges.
Ink Longevity
The ink longevity seems comparable to the original cartridges. I print quite frequently, both documents and photos, and these cartridges have held up well so far. The 245XL and 246XL are high-yield, so they offer a decent amount of prints before running low.
Cost-Effectiveness
One of the main reasons I opted for these remanufactured cartridges was the cost savings. They are significantly cheaper than the original Canon cartridges, making them a cost-effective alternative without sacrificing quality. This combo pack offers excellent value for the price.
Performance
Throughout my usage, I haven't experienced any issues such as clogging, smudging, or streaking. The cartridges have performed reliably, providing consistent quality prints every time. They’ve also been reliable with different types of paper, from standard printer paper to glossy photo paper.
Environmental Impact
I appreciate that these cartridges are remanufactured, which is an eco-friendly option. It’s nice to know that I’m contributing to reducing waste by choosing a product that recycles old cartridges.
Overall Satisfaction
Overall, I am highly satisfied with the TOKYOINK Remanufactured Ink Cartridge Replacement for Canon 245XL and 246XL. They offer a great balance of quality, performance, and affordability. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly alternative to original Canon cartridges, I highly recommend giving these a try.
Cons
The only minor downside is that, like with many third-party cartridges, the printer’s ink level indicators may not work accurately. However, this hasn’t been a significant issue for me as I typically monitor the print quality to gauge when it’s time to replace the cartridges.
