Canon PGI-520 Black Printer Ink

I’ve been using this cartridge for a couple of weeks now, and the black text comes out razor-sharp on plain paper—no smudging at all. The Chromalife 100+ technology really seems to make a difference in preventing fading over time.

The page count on these cartridges is genuinely solid for the price, and my prints on glossy photo paper look almost identical to what came out of the store. I’ve run about 200 pages through my MP630 and the color depth still hasn’t faded, which is more than I expected from a standard replacement.

The black ink came out crisp and perfectly deep on plain paper, and the Chromalife 100+ tech really shows in how the text stays sharp after a few days. My MP540 hasn't had a single smudge or fade, even on double-sided drafts.
