Canon 3713C011 ink cartridge 2 pc(s) Original Standard Yield Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £37.97 ex‑VAT for an “original” Canon multi-pack, this is a pretty decent buy *if* you know you’re running a genuine Canon ink setup and you print regularly enough to avoid long gaps. The big practical win with OEM cartridges is reliability: fewer weird print-head hiccups, more predictable colour output, and less messing around with line-cleaning when you need prints to come out right first time. If this is going into a busy office where people just want it to work, the premium versus compatibles can be worth it.

I’d only say “don’t bother” if you’re budget-tight and printing light—because ink can be the kind of cost that creeps up quietly, and if your usage is sporadic, you risk ink drying issues even with genuine cartridges. Also, if you’re printing high volumes, it’s worth comparing the *per-page* cost against higher-yield options (or looking at Canon’s own alternatives), because the regular-yield style packs can get expensive fast. Overall: good for SMEs/offices that want dependable day-to-day output; less good for occasional printing or anyone trying to drive down cost per page.
