Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does using this remanufactured cartridge void my printer warranty?

No. Under consumer law, manufacturers cannot void your printer warranty solely for using compatible or remanufactured cartridges, provided the cartridge is not the cause of a specific failure.

How many pages can I expect to print?

You can expect a yield of up to 730 pages, based on standard industry testing (usually 5% page coverage).

Is this a genuine Canon product?

No, this is a Q-Connect branded remanufactured cartridge, which has been cleaned, refilled, and tested to meet or exceed original performance standards.

How should I store unused cartridges?

Keep them in their original sealed packaging, stored flat in a cool, dark environment to ensure the ink remains stable.

What should I do if the print quality is poor after installation?

Ensure the protective tape has been completely removed from the print head nozzle, then perform a deep cleaning cycle from the printer software.

Troubleshooting

Printer displays 'Non-genuine ink' warning

This is common with remanufactured cartridges. Press 'OK' or 'Continue' on the printer display to bypass the message and resume printing.

Streaky or faded text output

Run the printer's built-in 'Head Cleaning' or 'Nozzle Check' utility through the printer maintenance menu to clear potential air bubbles or minor clogs.

Cartridge not recognized by printer

Remove the cartridge, gently wipe the gold contact chip with a lint-free dry cloth, and reinsert firmly to ensure proper electrical contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installing the cartridge follows the standard process for Canon Pixma printers. Simply open the printer access door, release the old cartridge, and click the new Q-Connect cartridge into the corresponding slot until you hear a secure snap. This cartridge is compatible with the following Canon Pixma models: iP7250, MG5450, MG5550, MG6350, MG6450, MG7150, MX725, and MX925. To maintain print head health, it is recommended to print a test page at least once every two weeks if the printer is used infrequently. Keep cartridges stored in a cool, dark place in their original sealed packaging until ready for use to prevent ink drying.
