      Excellent company to use.

      Next day delivery. Seamless ordering process. Cartridges fit and work perfectly. Cheapest online prices.
      Customer service is also 100%

      Would definitely recommend ????????

      By John Cassidy on

      I was very impressed by the way in which the order was carried out. I was told when it would be despatched and delivered, and bang on time it was delivered. I had no problem installing the cartridges, and the quality of printing was excellent on first print. I will definitely be using cartridgesave.co.uk again, and hopefully I will be able to send in the empty cartridges I have taken out of my printer for recycling by you. I will definitely recommend you to any of my friends who need replacement print cartridges.

    • 3-year warranty
      3-year warranty on our own-brand cartridges
      We are proud of our own-brand cartridges, so we’ve made trying them a no-brainer. If within three years of purchase you have any problem whatsoever, we’ll happily offer either a replacement or a refund.
      Returning items is easy—it takes just a few minutes. But our return rate is very low, so you’ll be unlikely to need it.
      We are confident that no other own-brand cartridges are better than ours. They produce vibrant prints with accurate colour densities and dark blacks—and their page yields are as good as the genuines, if not better. Give them a try, and see why our customers love them.
      Our own-brand cartridges are incredibly reliable for three reasons:
      1. We are the UK’s biggest seller of own-brand cartridges, and we have invested a lot in optimising them.
      2. We are dedicated to quality. Every own-brand cartridge is performance-tested before it leaves the factory.
      3. We constantly monitor customer feedback, and quickly resolve any issues.
    • Printer protection guarantee
      Our cartridges won't damage your printer—guaranteed
      Some people worry that own-brand cartridges might damage their printers. We know from experience that ours don’t.
      To reassure you, we guarantee that we’ll repair or replace your printer—for free—in the unlikely event that it gets damaged by an own-brand cartridge. This is regardless of how old your printer is. We can afford to offer this because problems are almost unheard of.
      Some people whose printers are less than a year old worry that an own-brand cartridge might invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. This isn’t true. By law, the manufacturers aren’t allowed to invalidate your warranty if you use own-brand cartridges. If something does go wrong, and our own-brand cartridges are to blame, we’ll take over the manufacturer’s warranty, offer you phone support and repair or replace your printer if needed.

      In summary, there’s zero risk in using our own-brand cartridges.

Canon Pixma MX525 Printer Review

Expert review of the Canon Pixma MX525 printer

Our Verdict:

With built-in Wi-Fi, automatic document feeder, and two-sided printing, the Canon PIXMA MX525 lets the small office save time in producing high quality documents printed in crisp 4800dpi resolution. It is a multifunction printer with fax, scan, and copy functions, too, but it does not offer much when it comes to expandability.

Design

The Canon PIXMA MX525 may look a lot like some of its predecessors with a flatbed scanner, 30-sheet automatic document feeder, 100-sheet input capacity, digital copier, and a 33.6Kbps fax machine, but it boasts more unique and better features including Wi-Fi and Ethernet interfaces, PictBridge support, and the duplexer. It looks like a sleek box that measures 458mm wide, 200mm tall, and 385mm deep, and its matte plasticky frame weighs 8.7Kg, but it is sturdy and well built. Its centrepiece is a 6.2cm colour display screen and a dual function panel, while the default interface is a high-speed USB type B port.

Advantages

There is a built-in duplexer and automatic document feeder to help save time and resources. The Canon PIXMA MX525 offers both Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity for more versatility. Direct printing from smart phones, tablets, web, digital cameras, and USB thumb drives are also supported by this device. It is easy to set-up and operate, and the fax machine can function as a standalone device. There are high yield cartridges available for the Canon PIXMA MX525 for high use customers which offer further savings and less frequent halts to change cartridges.

Disadvantages

As the paper capacity and memory of the Canon PIXMA MX525 cannot be expanded, it is only suitable for small offices or home use. A larger display screen to view images before printing would also be of use. It does not support film scanning.
