The Canon PIXMA MG6822 is a photo all-in-one (print, scan, copy). Owners tend to keep these printers a long time, and the separate-tank layout is a big reason why — nothing is thrown away before its time. 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

Mixed use is where the MG6822 earns its shelf space, so keep the two ink jobs separate in mind: pigment black does the document work, sharp and text-first, and the dye tanks do the photo work, color-first. A new compatible chip in each tank keeps level readings normal. If recognition fails, reseat the tank until it clicks and restart the printer; a dry lint-free cloth across the gold contacts follows. Until a tank is needed, leave spares sealed and upright.
