Canon PG-595XL ink cartridge 1 pc(s) Original High (XL) Yield Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £21.40 ex-VAT for an XL Black, this is one of those “makes sense if you print a lot, but don’t buy it on autopilot” items. The big win with Canon’s XL PG range is cost-per-page versus the standard cartridges, and the fact it’s an original means fewer headaches with print quality and reliability. If you’ve got a Canon inkjet that actually gets used regularly (proper text docs, not just the occasional birthday letter), you’ll probably feel pretty good about this purchase—especially compared with constantly replacing smaller cartridges.

I wouldn’t bother if your usage is light or inconsistent. Inkjets can dry out or clog, and if you only print occasionally, you may end up paying for cartridges you don’t fully consume. Also, the pricing you’ve shown puts it in the territory where it’s worth double-checking whether your model’s ink cost is competitive overall—because some Canon setups are great, and others quietly get expensive if the cartridges aren’t the high-yield ones. In short: buy this if you’re a “steady printer” and want predictable results; skip it if you’re a “light user” looking for value.
