FAQs

What type of ink does the PGI-525BK use?

The PGI-525BK uses a pigment-based black ink, which is ideal for sharp, smudge-resistant text.

How many pages can I expect to print with this cartridge?

The PGI-525BK cartridge has an approximate page yield of over 300 pages, based on ISO/IEC standards.

Is this cartridge compatible with all Canon printers?

No, it is specifically designed for a range of Canon PIXMA iP, iX, MG, and MX series printers. Please check the compatibility list for your exact model.

Can I use this cartridge with non-Canon photo paper?

While it will print, to achieve the benefits of the ChromaLife100 system for long-lasting photos, it is recommended to use genuine Canon inks with genuine Canon photo papers.

What does 'Original' mean in the product description?

'Original' signifies that this is a genuine ink cartridge manufactured by Canon, ensuring compatibility and quality standards.

How do I know when the ink cartridge needs replacing?

Your printer software will typically display an estimated ink level. You can also tell when the cartridge is low or empty by reduced print quality or missing colors.

What is the benefit of individual ink tanks?

Individual ink tanks mean you only need to replace the color that runs out, reducing waste and potentially saving costs compared to multi-color cartridges.

Troubleshooting

Printer not recognizing the new ink cartridge

Ensure the cartridge is correctly installed and all protective tape has been removed. Try re-seating the cartridge. Clean the electrical contacts on both the cartridge and the printer with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Poor print quality (streaks, missing lines, faded text)

Run a print head cleaning cycle through your printer's maintenance settings. Ensure the correct paper type is selected in your print settings. If the issue persists, the cartridge may be low or faulty.

Ink not printing at all

Check that the correct cartridge is installed in the correct slot. Perform a print head cleaning. If the problem continues, the cartridge may be empty or defective.

Error message related to ink cartridge

Refer to your printer's manual for specific error code meanings. Ensure the cartridge is compatible and properly installed. Contact Canon support if the error persists.
