Canon PGI-2500Y Yellow Ink Cartridge

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £14.16 ex-VAT for a genuine Canon PGI-2500Y, this is the kind of yellow ink purchase that’s usually only “worth it” if you actually print enough to justify keeping spares on hand. In real day-to-day office use, yellow tends to get consumed unevenly (especially with colour documents like charts, branding bits, and marketing drafts), so if your print volumes are low you’ll often end up with dried/unused ink before it’s fully used—then it stops being good value. Also, if you’re seeing streaking or fading, cheap/third-party cartridges can look tempting, but genuine Canon typically behaves more consistently with the printer’s expectations, so you get fewer print-quality headaches and less downtime.

I’d recommend this for small offices or teams with Canon inkjets who print colour regularly and want predictable results—design printouts, sales collateral, internal comms, that sort of thing. If you’re mostly printing black-and-white or you only occasionally need yellow, I’d think twice: you might be better off checking your actual usage or considering a higher-yield option (or just buying when you’re truly running low). And one quick caution: it’s listed under “toner cartridges,” but this is an ink cartridge—make sure your printer model matches what Canon intended for the PGI-2500Y before you commit.
