Canon PG-510BK Black Ink Cartridge

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re using a Canon inkjet that takes the PG-510BK, this is the sort of cartridge that’s hard to get excited about—but it’s also rarely a bad call. At £13.26 ex-VAT, it’s fairly priced for a genuine black cartridge, and genuine ink typically behaves more consistently in office printing (better reliability, fewer “why are my prints streaky?” moments, and less messing about with head clean cycles). For a small office that prints mostly text—forms, documents, invoices—it’s a sensible, low-drama buy.

That said, don’t buy it if your volumes are high and you’re trying to minimise cost per page. Ink cartridges can be a bit stingy compared with alternatives, and the “you’ll save money” logic only holds if your printer is actively used and you’re not letting it sit for ages (ink can dry out and waste money). If you want, tell me your Canon printer model and your typical monthly page count—I can give you a straight recommendation on whether PG-510BK is cost-effective for your use, or if you’d be better with a different cartridge strategy.
