Canon 3713C012 ink cartridge 4 pc(s) Original Standard Yield Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

This is the classic “buying genuine ink” choice, and at **£37.97 ex‑VAT** for a set of four, it’s only a good deal if you’re using your printer regularly and you can tolerate the fact that Canon’s standard-yield cartridges don’t always last as long as you hope. The real-world advantage of original cartridges is reliability: fewer printing hiccups, more consistent colour, and less hassle with clogged heads or quality issues compared with cheaper aftermarket options. If you’re printing business documents, customer-facing materials, or anything where you can’t afford banding/fading, it’s a safer bet.

Who should buy it? **Small offices and freelancers** with moderate print volumes, especially if the printer is the kind that’s picky about ink and you want predictable results every time. Who should *avoid* it? Anyone printing heavily on a tight budget—if you’re getting through cartridges fast, you’ll feel the cost quickly and you’d be better looking at higher-yield options or alternatives designed for cost per page. Also, if your printer sits unused for long stretches, standard yield + higher replacement frequency can be a bit of a false economy.
