AI-generated summary
If you’re printing colour pages regularly and you want predictable results, this *original* Canon yellow cartridge is a solid choice. The big upside of going genuine (rather than “compatible”) is consistency: fewer weird banding/patchy output issues and better longevity in the long run, especially in office environments where you don’t want downtime. At **£80.12 ex-VAT**, it’s not cheap, but for yellow that tends to be what you pay for reliability—particularly if your printer is picky about toner quality.
That said, this is only “worth it” if your usage pattern actually justifies the spend. If you print colour rarely, you’ll feel the cost immediately (and you might end up with a toner cartridge that’s still half-full after months). Also, if your company already has a process for buying compatible cartridges and you’ve seen acceptable print quality, you may be overpaying here. **Who should buy:** businesses using Canon lasers as a regular document tool who care more about steady print quality than chasing the lowest unit price. **Who should skip:** light colour users, or buyers chasing cost per page with proven third-party options.
