JAR-JAR-BO 245XL Remanufactured Ink Cartridge Replacement for Canon PG-245 PG-245XL PG 243 245XL to Use for Canon PIXMA MX492 MX490 MG2420 MG2520 MG2522 MG2555 MG2920 MG2922 (2 Black)

I waited for a while to write this review to get a feel if this was as good as it advertised for the price. I was skeptical at first but I find that it does the job quite fine. I am a college student who has to print a lot for classes because of submitting it in paper (Even though now it’s quarantine, I still have to print for some classes because of the professors say so.) Even before quarantine I still had to print a lot for either class projects or essays, or homework assignments, I was printing excessively. Even now, I checked to see how much ink was left and saw that it was only half way through with the many pages I had to print. That is pretty impressive. Compared to other ink cartridges I had, this is a good bargain. If you are like me, you would have to rely refilling by going to Costco, but now with everything going on, I don’t like to take the risk, and to wait an hours end to just get ink. Very time consuming and even though it’s cheap, I simply did not have the patience. I found that I could use this one for a long time, and when it’s out of ink, I could always use the second one included. It is a pretty good bargain, even though some others might not agree with me, the ones that do, do yourself a favor and buy it already. It’s a good investment.

This one fits perfectly fine in the printer but the print comes out little faded. Good for price but do not expect original cannon ink quality.Update: 07/16/2018I received an email from the seller that they will send me a new one due to the one that I received could be defected( if this thing really works fine then mine has to be defected). 5 stars for the customer service but I will modify the review once I try out the replacement with pictures to help the buyerUpdate: 7/23/2018I received the replacement 2 days ago but could not try it until now because I was busy but the product worked fine and the print came out clean I guess one that I bought was somehow defected. Great product and best price in the market also outstanding customer service definitely buy it again from here! #1 recommendation. I would give more stars if I can. Please ignore the language.

The Ink Cartridge Replacement for Canon PG-245/PG-245XL gets the job done, but it could be better. The print quality is generally good, with sharp text and decent color output, but I noticed that the ink doesn’t last as long as I expected, especially for an XL cartridge. Installation was straightforward, and it worked well with my Canon printer without any compatibility issues. However, for the price, I was hoping for a bit more longevity. Overall, it’s a decent replacement option, but there’s room for improvement.

Edit: i won't resind my origional review (below) but i amupdating my review as I have mich respect for this company. Upon reading my review a representative of the company contacted me and offered to send me a free replacement. They sent another 2 pack. I immediately installed and it has continued to work without issue! The customer service has been excellent and i would advise if you have an issue to reach out. They have far exceeded my expectations and the product has again met my standard. I do think my previous cartridge issue was a fluke... .Origional post:The 2 pack was well priced and until today would have given 5 stars! I always use recycled. Have NEVER had an issue with installation and use. I always buy a 2-pack as it is cost effective. The 1st cartridge worked excellent, yielded more than expected. Yesterday I replaced to the 2nd one in the pack and it has errored out my printer, I have done everything including hard reset and it will not accept the cartridge. So again I will say, Hit or Miss......

Amended review:I liked this cartridge at first but the second cartridge printed very poorly and then quit altogether. Had printer clean nozzle 3-4 times, no luck.Then I found the Canon cartridge at Staples for $24 (also Meijer). It’s also around $25 on Amazon but needed it today. Was paying $32 at Walgreens so no wonder this refill cartridge seemed like a good idea.So instead of saving $2-3 dollars I lost $20 since the 2nd cartridge was a failure.Just get the real Canon cartridge from anywhere but CVS or Walgreens.The two main reasons I bought this particular brand of remanufactured ink cartridge:1) It displays the correct and true amount of ink in the cartridge even though it’s remanufactured. (All refilled/remanufactured cartridges I’ve used so far make the printer think it’s low on ink displaying an error messages every *single* time it prints. Grrrrr.)2) The customer response to those having any difficulty with their cartridge.Actually several more reasons: Low price/free shipping for Prime members (which I’ve been for years and love it!) and the fact that I’d get it within 48 hours.OK, one more main reason... The high number of reviews overall and number of positive reviews from Verified customers.Look, a remanufactured ink cartridge is sometimes going to have problems, whether they get beat up in shipping, there’s a problem getting one of them to work, etc. There is NO remanufactured cartridge that will always be trouble-free. It doesn’t exist in the real world. Just as there’s no free lunch.What matters is that this company has stood behind the folks who’ve had problems from what I’ve read in the reviews. I spent at least 30 minutes looking at all the remanufactured cartridges available and this one stood out because of all the reasons listed above.Even though I just received the cartridges, I’m leaving this positive review based on the fact that it just simply printed right away. Installed, printed, done. Boom! No hassle, no realignment, no clattering away cleaning the print head.It simply worked.I was already expecting yet another printing problem, gritting my teeth, ready for the stinking printer to beepbeepbeep giving me an error message. But it worked. It simply worked.And you know what? It showed the proper ink level.
