Relatively good deal if you need both cartridges
I say relatively because ink cartridges are always overpriced. Having said that, this is the cheapest way to get genuine OEM ink for your Canon printer. First, the XL cartriges are the cheapest per mL of ink. Second, it's actually slightly cheaper to buy them both in this bundle, and the paper is essentially thrown in for free. So, unless you only need one cartridge or the other, this is a no-brainer.
By the way, you may be wondering: Is this is too good to be true, getting photo paper for free while paying less for the ink? Is Canon crazy? Yes, crazy like foxes. They are hoping you use the paper to print lots of pictures. They've done the math, and have no doubt concluded that the cost of making each piece of paper is less than the profit they make on the ink you will deposit on that paper. So, they are more than happy to hand you as much paper as you want as long as you are buying Canon inks.
