AI-generated summary
If you’re using a Canon office inkjet and you want things to be straightforward, this set of original cartridges is a safe buy. Original Canon inks generally behave better in mixed paper environments and are less likely to cause weird print quality issues than cheaper compatibles—especially on text-heavy documents and when you don’t print every day. At **£37.97 ex-VAT for all four colours**, the value depends on your actual colour usage, but for small businesses that need reliable day-to-day results (and don’t want downtime), it’s pretty reasonable.
That said, if you print a lot of colour—marketing leaflets, PDFs with lots of graphics, posters—original ink can work out expensive per page compared with third-party options. The “standard yield” nature also means you’ll be reordering more often, so if cost-per-print is your main priority, you may be better off trialling a reputable compatible range and sticking to it consistently. Buy this if reliability matters more than squeezing pennies; skip it if you’re chasing the lowest total cost across high-volume printing.
