PIXMA MG3620

Canon PIXMA MG3620 Ink — PG-240 / CL-241

The PIXMA MG3620 is a photo-focused all-in-one, the MG line Canon aimed at home photo printing, and it runs on the PG-240 / CL-241 FINE family: PG-240 black (up to 180 pages; no compatible cartridge sold for this code yet); PG-240XL black (up to 300 pages, $32.99); PG-240XXL black (up to 600 pages, $34.49); CL-241 tri-color (up to 180 pages, $34.49); CL-241XL tri-color (up to 400 pages, $35.99). Every cartridge listed here is a Clever Supplies compatible, filled to the genuine specification and covered by our Lifetime Warranty.

Think of the MG3620 as a short parts list rather than a sealed appliance. This home photo all-in-one runs on two replaceable units, one black and one tri-color, and the printhead — the component that clogs and wears — travels inside each cartridge, so every change renews it. That parts logic is why an MG3620 left idle for a year usually comes back with fresh cartridges instead of a repair. The single rule is the family code: similar-looking Canon cartridges from other families carry a different code and chip, and this printer will not recognize them.

Which PG-240 / CL-241 should you buy?

Black only, longer fill: the PG-240XL Black Ink Cartridge ($32.99) takes over the PG-240XL position by itself — up to 300 pages before the black position needs attention again.
Black only, longest fill: the PG-240XXL Black Ink Cartridge ($34.49) takes over the PG-240XXL position by itself — up to 600 pages, the longest black run listed for this family.
Color only, standard fill: the CL-241 Tri-Color Ink Cartridge ($34.49) takes over the CL-241 position by itself — up to 180 pages of dye-based color for photos at the standard fill.
Color only, longer fill: the CL-241XL Tri-Color Ink Cartridge ($35.99) takes over the CL-241XL position by itself — up to 400 pages of dye color from the larger cartridge.
Five-pack shelf reserve: the PG-240XXL CL-241XL Ink Cartridges Set of 5 ($149.93) keeps spares ready in the black-heavy mix these printers actually use — five cartridges held back for the swaps ahead.
Both slots, one order: the PG-240XXL CL-241XL Ink Cartridges Set of 2 ($68.97) replaces black and color in a single change — the move for the day both cartridges finish together.

Chip, ink and everyday use

Start with the chip, because it is the part that talks. Every cartridge here carries a new compatible chip, so the MG3620 reports its ink levels as it should and warns before a cartridge runs dry. The inks divide the work in the usual FINE way: pigment in the black cartridge for sharp, smudge-resistant document text, dye in the tri-color for bright photo color. And because the printhead is part of the cartridge, a fresh cartridge answers streaks and gaps that cleaning cycles leave behind. Leave spares sealed until the day they go in — an opened cartridge can dry at the nozzle plate.
