Canon MAXIFY MB5120

Canon MAXIFY MB5120 PGI-2200XL Ink Cartridges

The Canon MAXIFY MB5120 is a office all-in-one that prints with PGI-2200XL Yellow (about 1,520 pages), PGI-2200XL Black (about 2,500 pages), PGI-2200XL Cyan (about 1,755 pages), PGI-2200XL Magenta (about 1,295 pages). Clever Supplies compatible versions are filled to the original specification and carry a lifetime warranty.

The MAXIFY MB5120 mixes its work differently from a photo printer: documents come first, and color appears inside those documents rather than on photo paper. Its PGI-2200XL cartridges serve that mix with pigment ink in every slot, replaced one at a time. Check the code on the cartridge you replace before ordering.

One ink set covers two kinds of machine here. The iB models are single-function printers; the MB models add scan, copy and fax around the same four cartridges. Either way, a full XL set is rated at more than 7,000 pages in total across the four cartridges.

Chip, ink and everyday use

Start with the chip when an MB5120 cartridge misbehaves, whatever the job was. Every cartridge here carries a new compatible chip, so ink levels report in the printer software just as they do with Canon originals. Keep the firmware as it is if everything works — if an update ever triggers a recognition warning, reseating the cartridge and restarting usually clears it, and the lifetime warranty covers any cartridge that still will not print. Store spares sealed, upright and out of direct sunlight.
