No, this is a compatible ink cartridge manufactured by Refresh Cartridges as a replacement for the original Canon PGI-570PGBKXL.

This cartridge uses a high-quality dye-based black ink.

Printer manufacturers' policies on compatible cartridges and warranties can vary. While generally not automatically voiding, issues caused by the cartridge might not be covered by the original manufacturer's warranty.

You should check your specific Canon printer model's documentation or the manufacturer's website to confirm it uses the PGI-570PGBKXL (Black) ink cartridge.

Dye-based inks typically offer brighter colors and better blending, often used for photo printing. Pigment-based inks are generally more durable, water-resistant, and produce sharper text, often preferred for documents. This PGI-570PGBKXL uses dye-based black ink.

It is generally recommended to use either all original cartridges or all compatible cartridges of the same type for optimal performance, though mixing is often possible. However, it is not recommended to mix ink types (dye vs. pigment) from different manufacturers.

Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated. Remove and reinsert it firmly. Check for any protective tabs that may still be attached. Sometimes, a printer restart or a firmware update check might help, though be cautious of updates that may block compatible cartridges.

Run the printer's head cleaning utility. If the issue persists, try running an alignment utility. Ensure the correct paper type is selected in the print settings.

Some compatible cartridges may not report ink levels accurately due to the nature of third-party manufacturing. Rely on print quality to determine when the cartridge is truly empty.
