JX200

Canon JX200 Ink Cartridges — PG-40 / CL-41 and PG-50 / CL-51

The JX200 is a fax machine with a built-in inkjet printer, from the years when a fax line still anchored a small office, and it runs on the PG-40 / CL-41 and PG-50 / CL-51 FINE family: PG-40 black (up to 327 pages, $25.49); CL-41 tri-color (up to 312 pages, $26.99). The same printer also takes PG-50 black (up to 510 pages, $26.99); CL-51 tri-color (up to 450 pages, $28.49). Every cartridge listed here is a Clever Supplies compatible, filled to the genuine specification and covered by our Lifetime Warranty.

For the JX200, longevity matters in a different way: a fax machine that still anchors a small office earns its keep only while its ink stays easy to source. Its print side helps on that front, drawing on two FINE tiers through the same pair of slots — the PG-40 / CL-41 as the standard fill and the PG-50 / CL-51 as the higher-capacity version of the same design — and the two positions can run different tiers side by side. What it will not accept is a cartridge from another Canon family, however similar the casing looks, because the chip behind that casing is not the one it expects.

Which PG-40 / CL-41 and PG-50 / CL-51 should you buy?

Black slot empty: the PG-40 Black Ink Cartridge ($25.49) replaces just the black position — a single pigment-black cartridge rated up to 327 pages.
Color slot empty: the CL-41 Tri-Color Ink Cartridge ($26.99) replaces just the color position — a single tri-color cartridge rated up to 312 pages.
Standard-fill spares pack: the PG-40 CL-41 Ink Cartridges Set of 5 ($118.50) puts a full set of spares on the shelf — five standard-fill cartridges in the black-heavy mix these printers actually use.
Mixed-tier spares pack: the PG-50 CL-41 Ink Cartridges Set of 5 ($173.93) pairs the higher-fill black with the standard tri-color in one spares pack — five cartridges mixing both tiers as black-heavy shelf stock.
Higher-fill black single: the PG-50 Black Ink Cartridge ($26.99) steps the black position up to the higher fill — a single black cartridge rated up to 510 pages.
Higher-fill color single: the CL-51 Tri-Color Ink Cartridge ($28.49) steps the color position up to the higher fill — a single tri-color cartridge rated up to 450 pages.
Higher-fill spares pack: the PG-50 CL-51 Ink Cartridges Set of 5 ($179.93) stocks the shelf entirely with the higher fill — five cartridges in a black-heavy mix, ready for whichever slot runs low first.
Both slots due together: the PG-50 CL-51 Ink Cartridges Set of 2 ($53.97) refreshes black and color in one visit to the cartridge bay — one cartridge for each position, the right move when both lights are on.

Chip, ink and everyday use

In a fax-led office, the part that wears is also the part that is easiest to replace. Every cartridge carries a new compatible chip, so the ink monitor stays honest between faxes. Pigment ink in the black position keeps incoming documents crisp and highlighter-resistant, and dye ink in the tri-color position supplies the color. Since the printhead is part of the cartridge on every FINE model, a cartridge swap is effectively a printhead swap too — the usual cure when lines start to go missing. Until that day comes, keep the spare sealed in its pack.
