MAXIFY MB2320
On the Canon MAXIFY MB2320, the workday sets the pace: this office all-in-one can be printing from morning to close. It prints with PGI-1200XL Black, rated at about 1,200 pages, PGI-1200XL Cyan at about 1,020, PGI-1200XL Yellow at about 935 and PGI-1200XL Magenta at about 780.
Sustained document work explains the ink choice. Pigment sits on the surface of the paper rather than soaking into it, so small text stays crisp through long runs of letters, forms and reports on ordinary office stock. The black cartridge carries most of that load, which is why its 1,200-page rating leads the family. This family comes in standard and XL sizes, but XL is the size offices actually reorder - the size that keeps the rhythm of a busy machine from being interrupted too often.

Which cartridge should you buy?
A busy office cannot afford a surprise stop, so stock is the strategy here. The set of nine - three PGI-1200XL Black cartridges and two of each color - matches how this printer actually consumes ink across a working week, black first and colors behind it. The set of four suits a lighter rhythm or a first full renewal. Singles still have their place: when one color fades ahead of the rest, replacing that tank alone, such as a lone magenta at about 780 pages, is the cheapest correct move.
Chip, ink and everyday use
The chip in each compatible cartridge reports levels back to the printer, so low-ink warnings arrive with time to order rather than mid-job. Canon occasionally adjusts recognition behavior in firmware updates; if a cartridge is ever refused right after one, take it out, restart the printer and seat it firmly once more, and contact us if the message refuses to clear. Keep the next set sealed in a drawer meanwhile - pigment cartridges wait patiently, and a stocked drawer is what keeps a workday printer boring in the best way.
Frequently Asked Questions
What ink does the MAXIFY MB2320 take?
The PGI-1200XL pigment family in four separate cartridges: black, cyan, magenta and yellow.
How long does the black cartridge last?
About 1,200 pages at standard coverage, the longest rating in this family, reflecting how heavily document work leans on black.
A cartridge was not recognized after a firmware update. What now?
Remove it, restart the printer and reseat it firmly. That clears most post-update recognition warnings; a cartridge that still will not print is a support call, not a lost cause.
Does the MB2320 use the same ink as the MB2020?
Yes. The MAXIFY MB2020 and the other models below run on the identical PGI-1200XL family, so one stock can cover them all.
