    Awesome

    Great, works excellent, colors are awesome. Couldn't believe how easy it was to install it into my printer. Thought I'd have to get the geek squad to help out.

    Good Ink Product

    This printer ink is easy to install, reliable, and good quality. The 15% MBB members save is really nice. My only complaint is, I wish it contained more ink and would last longer.

    Canon printers deserve only Canon approved ink

    Don't be fooled by 'off-brand' inks purported to be compatible with Canon printers. There is a perfectly good reason to use only Canon brand ink cartridges. A quality printer deserves a quality ink, manufactured and recommended by Canon! You spent the money to buy the 'best' printer, keep your printer performing at its best. It's not worth the pennies you'll save to chance the repair expenses, if and when the 'off-brand' ink fouls your printer's performance.

Questions & Answers

  • Can I use this in my Canon MG7500?

    Yes.

  • Have a Canon PIXMA TS9020 printer.Will Pixma 251 Gray Ink Cartridge work in it? Have been using Pixma 271 ink Cartridge - Gray

    No, I do not believe it will work. I've seen posts from people who have tried it and even though it fits, the printer firmware rejects it. To be sure you can call 1-800-OK-Canon.

  • My old GY ink cartridge says 271. Is the 251 the same? My printer is a canon mg7720

    Cannot assume the printer is the same.

  • Is this cartridge re fill-able?

    For over three years I've been refilling my 251 C, M, Y, BlK cartridges with dye based pixma ink from large bottles for canon ink tank printers, and a bottle of pigment based pixma black ink for the one 250-Blk cartridge my printer also uses. just punch a hole in the center letter "n" in the word Canon on the top of the cartridge then use a syringe to inject the ink into the cartridge through the hole. just insert it about 1/4 inch or so. if you top it off be sure to let it sit for a few minutes before installing. do not cover the hole you made as it needs it for a vent hole after you likely just obstructed the original vent channel that you can see if you pull off the label that hides it. I've never had a leak or a dried out cartridge. I've heard that each cartridge is ok for 5 to 8 refills each, or until you get smears. I've gone through about 15,000 printed pages since i started refilling I'm just now having to do bimonthly cleaning cycles, but more likely from the 19,741 total pages my MG5420 has printed, and not from the refilled ink, she is getting worn out. personally I would avoid using cheap ink and stick with the original canon pixma ink as my source. I did use a bottle of Epson Black dye based ink without any issue. lastly, be sure to NEVER mix up your dye based ink with your pigment, if you do just toss it out or you will either make a mess or clog you printhead. CLI is dye based and beginning with a P_ _ _ is pigment, PFI- , PGI- , PGBK, PG- and GI- as well. I've likely saved thousands of dollars in ink costs by refilling. good luck to you
