Canon ink cartridges
Canon started life in Japan, making cameras in the 1930s, before moving into printing. For many years it was the go-to brand for industry-standard laser printers, but nowadays it’s a popular choice for both businesses and home users. The secret behind this popularity is obvious: Canon printers successfully negotiate the sweet spot between quality printing and tight budgets, something many brands have struggled with.
