Canon 6431B010 ink cartridge 2 pc(s) Original Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £26.96 ex‑VAT for a pair of Canon “original black” cartridges, this is priced like a proper OEM refill rather than a bargain. In day‑to‑day office use, you generally do get what you pay for: consistent print quality, fewer annoying “cartridge not recognised” moments, and good reliability compared with cheap compatibles. If your team prints a lot of text documents and you’d rather not babysit printheads or waste time troubleshooting, these are a safe, low‑drama option.

That said, if you’re trying to drive down cost per page, this won’t be the best value—OEMs rarely are. If your printers are used intermittently (or you’re printing mostly drafts), you’ll feel the pinch sooner because you’re still paying OEM pricing even if the cartridge lasts longer than expected. I’d recommend these for businesses that care about predictable output and uptime—admin teams, print rooms with strict quality expectations, or anyone who’s burnt before with third‑party ink. If you’re cost-focused and your volumes are high, it’s worth comparing against cheaper compatible options (or looking at yield/price per page), because that’s where you’ll usually win.
