I tried to save $ but instead I now have to buy a new printer. The ink was never recognized by my printer even though it was the right kind. I had to take out the cartridge and reinstall it every time I wanted to print anything. This ended up messing up my alignment and then ink leaked inside so now nothing printed without skips in the print and sections missing. I loved my wireless Canon printer which is now junk! Ended up losing $, do not buy this!
