Advantages: Simple to install, just fit and forget

Disadvantages: More expensive, limited capacity, have to replace whole cartridge even if 1 colour runs out

Having a Canon S300 printer, this is the colour cartridge that I need for it.

To be honest, I don't think it's good value for money because you've got 3 colours in 1 cartridge (which means that if 1 runs out, you have to replace the whole thing: all printers from all manufacturers that use a Black + Colour cartridge setup also suffer from this).

I've since switched over to compatible brands, which give just as good quality for a lower price.

To be fair to Canon, their ink is better, especially if printing photos, and lasts just as long as the compatible cartridges, but they are more expensive overall, although prices do seem to be coming down.

It's fairly easy to slot the new cartridges into the printer, as they just click into place in the print head, and it's not too easy to get them mixed up as you can look at the base of the print head and see how many nozzle holes there are, which helps you put the correct cartridge in.

(Note that a lot of this review also applies to the BCI24BK black cartridge.)

Summary: A nice little cartridge, but comptible ones are cheaper
