AI-generated summary
If you’re printing regularly and want reliability above all else, the Canon 045 original black toner is a sensible buy. Original cartridges tend to behave consistently—good print quality, fewer “why does it look patchy today?” moments, and generally less hassle with printers that are picky about toner handling. At £54.80 ex-VAT it’s not the cheapest route, but it’s priced like something you buy to stop thinking about it.
I’d buy it if you’re a small office or a team that values predictable output for documents, invoices, and general day-to-day printing—especially if downtime or reprints would cost you more than the toner itself. I’d think twice if you print high volumes and you’re actively chasing lowest cost per page; compatible or remanufactured options can be better value there, as long as you’re willing to accept the odd risk around consistency.
Net: worth it for “set it and forget it” printing with Canon kit, less so if you’re purely cost-minimising and don’t mind experimenting.
