Canon PGI-270/CLI-271 Ink Cartridges

Canon PGI-270 / CLI-271 Ink Cartridges

The PGI-270 / CLI-271 family is the XL-tier tank family for the MG5700–MG7700 and first TS generation: pigment PGI-270XL black beside dye CLI-271XL colors, with a Gray sixth tank on the MG7720, TS8020 and TS9020. The singles are: PGI-270XL pigment black (up to 500 pages), CLI-271XL black (up to 5,565 pages), CLI-271XL cyan (up to 715 pages), CLI-271XL gray (up to 3,350 pages), CLI-271XL magenta (up to 645 pages), CLI-271XL yellow (up to 715 pages). Clever Supplies compatible cartridges start at $9.74, carry new compatible chips and are covered by a lifetime warranty.

For the MG5700–MG7700 range and the first TS generation, this family arrived with no standard fill listed: every cartridge we list is the XL fill, and the yields quoted are Canon's published XL figures. The family serves 11 PIXMA models, and every tank is individual — each color is replaced on its own schedule, and genuine Canon and compatible tanks can be mixed slot by slot.

Chip, ink and everyday use

Ink levels keep reporting to the printer because every cartridge in this family carries a new compatible chip — the small electronic part that lets older hardware and newer cartridges keep talking. Pigment black handles documents; the dye tanks handle color and photos. If a new cartridge is not recognized, reseat it until it clicks and restart the printer; if a message persists, wipe the gold chip contacts with a dry lint-free cloth. Keep spares sealed and upright until installation day.
