CLI-281 vs CLI-281XL vs CLI-281-XXL

[dwolff51]

Can anyone provide a definitive difference in the amount of ink in these three cartridges.  The price differences are substantial, so I need to know if the additional ink is worth the expense.  For example, the XXL cartridge costs more than double the standard, so I need to know it contains more thatn double the amount of ink.  Otherwise, I'm better off buying standard.  (the XL is about 60% more than standard).

I think I just found my own answer by asking Gemini AI.  The volumes were listed as follows. I also added the approximate cost per ml for each cartridge.

• CLI-281          5.6ml     3.30/ml
• CLI-281XL      8.3ml     2.89/ml
• CLI-281XXL   11.7ml    2.56/ml

Thus, I've confirmed that the larger tanks do cost less per ml.
