Q: How many cartridges are in this package?

A: This is a single pack ink cartridge.

Q: What type of ink is used in this Canon ink cartridge?

A: This Canon ink cartridge uses pigment-based ink.

Q: Is this ink cartridge compatible with Canon Pixma MG2420 printer?

Q: what is the yield for canon pg-245xl cartridge

A: Let me put it this way. Made 250 front and back programs, it took 4 xl black, 2 black and 4 xl color. That's $250.00 for ink that should have taken less than 1/3 of the ink.

Q: Is this the correct ink for Cannon MG2522? Thanks

A: Yes, it appears the ink is compatible with that model printer. Additionally the XL can print more than the non XL version so you pay a little more but in turn it will last longer.

Q: I have the tr4520 cannon printer. Will the pixma 245xl work with it?

A: Most definitely. It is actually the recommended ink cartridge for the printer. I have the TR4520 cannon printer too.
