PIXMA MG6120

Canon PIXMA MG6120 Ink — PGI-225 / CLI-226 Cartridges

The Canon PIXMA MG6120 runs on PGI-225 / CLI-226 tanks: PGI-225PGBK pigment black (up to 340 pages), CLI-226BK black (up to 510 pages), CLI-226C cyan (up to 510 pages), CLI-226GY gray (up to 510 pages), CLI-226M magenta (up to 510 pages), CLI-226Y yellow (up to 510 pages). Compatible cartridges for the MG6120 start at $8.24 at Clever Supplies — each one chipped, and each one covered by a lifetime warranty.

The Canon PIXMA MG6120 is a photo all-in-one (print, scan, copy). This model carries the sixth Gray slot, so its cartridge list includes the Gray tank that smooths black-and-white photo tones. In practice that means the running cost of this printer is decided tank by tank: the black you burn through on documents is not the ink your photos drink. The tanks are all individual: replace each color as it runs dry, and feel free to run genuine Canon and compatible tanks side by side.

Chip, ink and everyday use

The MG6120 prints across six slots, and owners who use the gray tank for black-and-white photos often work in bursts of printing followed by quieter document days. A new compatible chip in every cartridge keeps all six levels reading normally through both patterns. Pigment black handles text; the dye tanks handle color and photos. A cartridge that is not recognized usually needs reseating until it clicks and a restart, with a dry lint-free cloth on the gold contacts next. Keep spares sealed and upright.
