Canon 5224B012 ink cartridge 2 pc(s) Original Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £40 ex-VAT for a 2‑pack (CMYK originals), this Canon set only makes sense if you’re already using the matching Canon ink system and you print often enough that you’re not constantly paying “re-fill” overhead. The big advantage of going original is reliability: colour stays predictable, print quality doesn’t get weird mid-job, and you’re less likely to run into clogging/quality drift than with cheaper compatibles. If your business relies on consistent output (client docs, marketing bits, internal comms where you can’t afford surprises), originals are usually the safer call.

That said, if you print lightly or occasionally, the value proposition drops fast—inkjet cartridges can expire (in practice: clog) before you’ve extracted real value from them, and £40 can sting when you’re only getting a handful of pages. If you’re cost-sensitive and have a printer you can keep ticking over, you might do better with a reputable compatible or refill option. Bottom line: buy this if you want dependable colour and you know you’ll burn through ink; avoid it if your printing volume is sporadic and you’re chasing lowest cost per page.
