Having purchased non-OEM replacement cartridges in the past and always being a little disappointed this time I was not!! This cartridge works exactly like the OEM Canon one - same nice dark images, clean sharp text. At a fraction of the cost. I've only printed a few dozen pages but consistency has been great and no issues with paper jams. If it lasts even half as long the OEM replacement it will be a bargain - and you get two of these replacements! The only drawback I can see is remembering where I put the other one in a year or so when I need it!
