Canon CL-38 C/M/Y Colour Ink Cartridge

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Honestly, this looks like the sort of Canon ink you buy once you’re already invested in Canon’s specific printer ecosystem. At £15.44 ex-VAT, it’s not a bargain “stock-up” item, but it also isn’t wildly overpriced for a genuine cartridge—so the value really depends on how often you print colour and how much you go through. If you only print occasional colour (charts, doc highlights, a few client docs), you’ll likely get decent overall value because you’re not chewing through cartridges. If you print a lot of colour—marketing, lots of proposals, frequent diagrams—this will feel like a recurring cost, and you’ll start wishing you were using a higher-yield setup or a pricing model that’s friendlier per page.

You should buy this if you need reliable output and you’re protecting consistency for business documents (and you don’t want to mess around with third-party compatibility). You should avoid it if you’re cost-sensitive and print colour heavily; even small differences in cartridge yield quickly matter in the real world. Also double-check you’ve got the right cartridge model for your exact Canon printer—wrong-fit cartridges are a fast way to waste money in a B2B environment.
