FAQs

Will using this cartridge void my printer warranty?

Under law, manufacturers cannot void your printer warranty simply for using compatible ink, provided the cartridge does not cause damage to the printer.

Is this a pigment-based ink?

Yes, this cartridge is designed to replicate the properties of the Canon PGI-550Bk, which uses pigment-based ink for superior document durability.

How do I know if this fits my printer?

Check your printer for the 'PGI-550Bk' label. If your printer uses this model number, this Go Inks cartridge will be compatible.

Can I mix this with original Canon ink?

Yes, the printer will function correctly even if you have a mix of original and compatible cartridges installed.

What is the shelf life of these cartridges?

When kept in their original sealed packaging, these cartridges have a shelf life of approximately 18-24 months.

Troubleshooting

Printer does not recognize the cartridge

Ensure the orange protective clip is completely removed and the cartridge is firmly clicked into the carriage. If it persists, turn off the printer for 60 seconds and restart.

Streaky or faded printing

Run the printer's built-in 'Nozzle Check' or 'Head Cleaning' utility. This clears any air bubbles or debris that may have collected in the ink feed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-yield 23ml ink volume extends time between replacements
  • Excellent for printing standard documents with sharp black text
  • Compatible with a vast array of popular Canon PIXMA printer models
  • Significant cost savings compared to original equipment manufacturer ink

Cons

  • Compatibility can occasionally be affected by printer firmware updates
  • Not intended for high-end professional archival photo printing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, power on your printer and lift the scan unit to access the ink carriage. Remove the orange protective clip from the Go Inks cartridge before inserting it into the appropriate slot until it clicks securely.

Compatibility: This cartridge is a replacement for Canon PGI-550Bk and works with models including the iP7200, MG5450, MG5550, MG5650, MG6650, MG7550, MX725, and MX925 series.

Care Tips: Store cartridges in a cool, dark place with the sealing tape intact until ready for use. If you have not used the printer for more than two weeks, run a standard 'Print Head Cleaning' utility through your printer settings to prevent ink drying within the nozzles.
