How to Choose Between Building and Buying Software

£64.30 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
Honestly, this Canon PGI-9 multipack for inks at £53.48 ex-VAT is one of those “it depends how you print” purchases. If you’re a small office that actually runs colour and photos/marketing bits regularly, it’s good value because you’re covering all the bases in one go and you won’t be stuck waiting for singles when one colour runs out. It’s also worth it when you’ve got a consistent workflow—less admin, fewer emergencies, and you can budget printing more predictably.
But if your use is mostly text, drafts, or the occasional doc, I’d be cautious. Inkjets don’t “sip” quietly; unused colours dry out or degrade faster than you’d like, and multipacks can become expensive paperweights when you only need one cartridge. Also, your provided category label (“toner cartridges”) doesn’t match what you’re buying—so make sure your machine is the correct Canon ink system for PGI-9 before you commit, because compatibility errors are a classic reseller headache.
**Who should buy:** offices with regular colour printing that match the PGI-9 system. **Who shouldn’t:** anyone mainly printing black-and-white or printing infrequently and sporadically.
