Performance
In terms of print quality, the CL-446 exceeded my expectations. Colours were indeed vibrant and text was sharp and crisp, even at higher print speeds. I tested it with various photo types, documents, and even some intricate graphics, and it consistently delivered high-quality results. The ink didn’t smudge or bleed, even on less absorbent paper types. The high-yield claim also held true; I was able to print significantly more pages than with my previous cartridge. However, there were occasions when the print speed dropped significantly, especially when printing large, complex documents. This is perhaps not an issue in casual usage, but it could be a concern for high-volume printing. It’s important to note that I only have this high-yield cartridge to judge against; other cartridges may have different printing speeds.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Vibrant color reproduction, sharp text, high page yield, minimal smudging, easy installation.
- Cons: Occasional slow print speed with large, complex documents.
Final Verdict
Overall, the Canon Pixma 446 Colour Ink-Cartridge (CL-446, B07PBWLNHR) is a solid performer. The vibrant colors and high page yield make it a great choice for home and small office use. While the occasional slow print speed is a minor drawback, it doesn’t significantly detract from the overall positive experience. I would definitely recommend this cartridge to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality ink solution for their Canon printer. The cost-per-page is also very competitive.
