Canon CLI-221 Gray Ink Cartridge 2950B001

Works in my 15 yr old Canon Pixma printer

Fast shipping and great price for the brand name cartridge

Outside of Amazon or Canon directly, hard to find the grey ink for my Canon all-in-one MP980. The smart marketing folks at Canon engineered their printers so that, if any one or more ink containers run dry, the MP980 is useless, will not even scan! Yes, for printing the Canon 221 inks are very good quality. However, even printing only b&w, the various color mysteriously run out. I put 5 stars for the "value" to appreciate Amazon's pricing, not to praise Canon's steep prices.

I’m sure that this “gray” ink cartridge is just fine and will fit into my Canon printer, but it’s not the color I meant to order. I needed “black” but somehow I accidentally selected gray. My frustration is going to focus on my inability to exchange one for the other online in my Amazon account. No matter how hard I tried, I could not get the exchange process to select the black from either my wish list wish list or from items in my cart. I realize this review is actually a complaint for an error I made, but Amazon, it has to easier to exchange an item ordered by mistake.

Does its job.
