PIXMA MG2924

PG-245 / CL-246 Ink for the Canon PIXMA MG2924

The PIXMA MG2924 is a photo-focused all-in-one, the MG line Canon aimed at home photo printing, and it runs on the PG-245 / CL-246 FINE family: PG-245 black (up to 180 pages, $27.74); PG-245XL black (up to 300 pages, $28.49); CL-246 tri-color (up to 180 pages, $29.24); CL-246XL tri-color (up to 300 pages, $29.99). Every cartridge listed here is a Clever Supplies compatible, filled to the genuine specification and covered by our Lifetime Warranty.

Light, occasional use is the MG2924's natural habitat — a student bedroom or a spare corner where printing happens in short bursts, with quiet weeks between. The two-cartridge FINE layout fits that pattern well: one black and one tri-color cartridge are the entire supply list, the printhead arrives new inside every cartridge, and an MG2924 that has sat idle for a year usually comes back with a cartridge change rather than a repair. The boundary to respect is the code family — cartridges from neighboring Canon families share the shelf shape but not the code or the chip, and they will not be recognized. Many of these printers shipped with PG-243 / CL-244 starter cartridges — the same slot at a lower fill, rated by Canon at up to 100 pages each. No compatible version of the starter pair is sold; everything on this page is the standard or XL fill of the same family, and it drops straight in.

Which PG-245 / CL-246 should you buy?

Only the black ran dry: the PG-245 Black Ink Cartridge ($27.74) drops into the empty black slot by itself — good for up to 180 pages of everyday document printing.
Black, but in the XL fill: the PG-245XL Black Ink Cartridge ($28.49) replaces the PG-245XL position with the higher fill — stretching black printing to up to 300 pages between swaps.
Only the tri-color ran dry: the CL-246 Tri-Color Ink Cartridge ($29.24) refreshes the color slot on its own — restoring full color for up to 180 pages of prints.
Color, but in the XL fill: the CL-246XL Tri-Color Ink Cartridge ($29.99) replaces the CL-246XL position with the higher fill — keeping photos and color pages going for up to 300 pages.
Color refills for heavy use: the CL-246XL InkPods Refill Set of 3 ($59.99) lowers the per-page cost of color-heavy printing — color refill pods paired with a fresh original Canon printhead.
Black refills for heavy use: the PG-245XL InkPods Refill Set of 4 ($59.99) lowers the per-page cost of document-heavy printing — black refill pods bundled with a fresh original Canon printhead.
Spares for the shelf: the PG-245XL CL-246XL Ink Cartridges Set of 5 ($138.75) keeps backup cartridges ready in the black-heavy mix these printers actually use.
Both slots in one swap: the PG-245XL CL-246XL Ink Cartridges Set of 2 ($56.97) replaces black and color together — the practical pick when both indicator lights are on.

Chip, ink and everyday use

For a lightly used student printer, the cartridge that goes in after a quiet month should report itself properly — and it does, because each cartridge carries a new compatible chip and ink levels are reported normally. The family mixes pigment black for documents with dye tri-color for photos, the standard FINE recipe, and the printhead is built into the cartridge rather than the printer, so every cartridge change renews the printhead: streaky output on this platform is a cartridge problem, not a service call. Store spares sealed, upright and out of sunlight, and open the pack only when the printer asks for the cartridge.
