What to know before buying

The listing claims 600 pages per cartridge only at 5% coverage on A4 paper, so actual yield may vary with print content.
Compatibility claims are not a guarantee of recognition. Customer feedback describes mixed results, so confirm your exact printer model and be prepared for the possibility that a cartridge may not be recognised.

Customer feedback is mixed on both compatibility and value. Some customers say the cartridges work well, while others report they are not recognised by their printers, and opinions also differ on whether the pack is worth the cost. For buyers, that makes exact-model compatibility an important consideration despite the stated chip claim and broad printer list. The overall ratings lean positive, but the less favourable ratings mean they should not be read as a guarantee of recognition or value for every user.

Negative themes

How many cartridges are included?

The listed box contents are two 540XL black ink cartridges.

What is the stated page yield?

The listing claims 600 pages per black cartridge at 5% coverage on A4 paper. Treat this as a conditional claim, not a guaranteed yield for every print job.

Are these Canon original cartridges?

No. The listing describes them as compatible replacements, not original Canon cartridges.
