Canon GI-45BK ink cartridge 1 pc(s) Original Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £12.98 ex-VAT for an original Canon GI-45BK, this is the kind of cartridge that makes sense if you’re already running Canon’s GI line and want predictable print quality with minimal faff. In day-to-day office use—emails, invoices, spreadsheets—original black ink tends to stay consistent, and you’re less likely to run into “why are these lines streaky?” problems you sometimes see with cheaper third-party options. If your printing isn’t massive volume, the price is also easy to justify because you’re not stuck with an ink spend that feels like it climbs every month.

That said, if you print heavily or you’re chasing lowest cost per page, this isn’t the cheapest route. Original cartridges usually cost more than compatible inks, and the savings on compatibles can be noticeable. I’d only buy this if you value reliability over pennies, or if your printer is sensitive to ink quality and you’ve had issues before. If you tell me your printer model and roughly how many pages you print per week, I can give you a better “is this good value?” call.
