I don't have much history with the product but, so far so good. I have a Canon Pixma printer and have paid big $ over the last three for new ink cartridges. My printer is in absolutely fine shape but at this point I was willing to take a risk with these cartridges. I read all the caveats about spillage and, I have to admit, I was willing to pay $16 just to see whether I received a decent product or a box full of ink -- a cheap thrill!
The box arrived promptly and the units were sealed in shrink wrap (so no risk of mess at this point). Since I didn't immediately need any installed, I set them upside down on a shelf until I did need them several weeks later. I was careful opening the shrink wrap and held the cartridge over scrap paper and, sure enough, a couple of droplets made their way out of the cartridge. I had my very own leaky China ink cartridge! I then carefully installed the cartridge, leaving it upside down until it was time to click in. I clicked in, closed up the printer and it started printing.
The cartridges are about 80% identical in looks to the original but don't seem to be as well made. Sorry, no microscopic analysis of the print quality -- it just looked normal. If anything goes wrong I'll update. Otherwise, I'm definitely going to continue using these (with careful installation) due to the significant $ savings.
