Works well in the Canon printer - so far.

Works in the Canon printer - even after a recent firmware update. Probably shouldn't have done that since Canon could have "disabled" the ink from working since it's not the "approved" Canon ink. Hopefully the didn't put in a time delay and brick the ink - or worse brick the printer and blame the ink. Will update if there are any issues.

Refills that consistently worked.

I have been using Smart ink refills for several years with no problems. Some other refills streaked, and some others weren't recognized by the printer. I haven't printed any photos to know how the color accuracy is for them.

Great customer service

Have ordered SmartInk a couple of times. Good price and warranty. One of the cartridges in my last order wouldn’t lock in place. After contacting support they sent me a new box of cartridges with 1 day shipping. Great customer service.
