Canon CLI-581XL Photo Blue Ink Cartridge

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Honestly, I’m not sold on the *value* here. At £12.35 ex‑VAT, this Canon CLI-581XL “Photo Blue” is the kind of ink you buy when you’re actively using it for what it’s meant for—photo output where that specific blue matters. If you only print occasional documents (or mostly black text), you’ll end up spending on a cartridge you don’t really need, and ink costs add up quickly versus the alternatives your printer came with.

Who it *does* suit: small offices or home workers in the UK printing colour photos, marketing bits, or anything where your output reliability and colour consistency matter. XL cartridges are generally better value than standard ones when you actually go through them. Who should *avoid*: anyone printing mostly text, or people whose “photo blue” never gets used—because you’ll tie money up in a specialised colour that may dry out or expire before you burn through it.

One more thing: you’ve listed it under “LASERSUPP > Toner Cartridges,” but this is an ink cartridge. If that reflects a mismatch in how your reseller’s catalogue is organised, double-check compatibility and category before ordering—nothing wastes time like ordering the right brand for the wrong consumable type.
