Asked 8 years ago by RonE.

• A:Answer Definition of: PGBK (or PB). PGBK. (PaGe BlacK or PiGmented BlacK) The black ink in Canon inkjet printers used for regular printed documents. The PGBK pigmented ink does not adhere well to coated stock. In contrast, the BK cartridge is used for photos. PGBK ink is intended for uses like text, it's smudge resistant and good for fine lines. BK ink is intended for photographs, it's richer. The printer defaults to PGBK for text, lines etc - unless it thinks they are part of a photo. Use the type of Black ink that best matches what you print. I got this info from: https://superuser.com/questions/751420/how-to-disable-pgbk-ink-on-a-canon-printer-and-use-bk-for-black

Q: QuestionWhat is the shelf life of unopened ink cartridges ordered online?

Asked 5 years ago by JW35.

• A:Answer This is based on my personal experience, no recommendation by Canon. I purchased a 4-pack January 2020, but was purchased in a store, not online. I just put the last cartridge in the printer last week. Ink level showed a full cartridge. Therefore I am assuming that unopened with plastic wrap in place, not subject to high heat, the ink should last just over a year, maybe longer.

Asked 5 years ago by Libby.

• A:Answer You are working with two printers made by two different companies. Each company designs their machines to work with only their parts, including ink cartridges. So, the answer is no. In fact you could risk damaging your HP using the Cannon cartridges.

Q: QuestionWill this work for TS 9120? I need to replace all inks

Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Yes... But it's way overpriced. Find ts9120 ink on amazon. Read the reviews of the listings and you'll find an excellent alternative for half the price... Plus, the printer recognizes them as authentic. Amazon all the way. Canon cartridges are formatted to make you buy ink more often because they "run out" too fast!
