PIXMA MP810

Canon PIXMA MP810 Ink — PGI-5 / CLI-8 Cartridges

The Canon PIXMA MP810 runs on PGI-5 / CLI-8 tanks: PGI-5BK pigment black (up to 650 pages), CLI-8BK black (up to 280 pages), CLI-8C cyan (up to 280 pages), CLI-8M magenta (up to 280 pages), CLI-8Y yellow (up to 280 pages). Compatible cartridges for the MP810 start at $8.99 at Clever Supplies — each one chipped, and each one covered by a lifetime warranty.

The Canon PIXMA MP810 is a legacy PIXMA 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

Printers kept as long as the MP810 usually settle into a steady, unhurried rhythm, a few documents and copies each week rather than heavy daily volume, and each cartridge helps that rhythm hold: its new compatible chip lets the printer read levels normally. Pigment black covers text, the dye tanks cover color and photos. Should a tank fail to register, reseat it until it clicks, restart the machine, and clean the gold contacts with a dry lint-free cloth if needed. Spares belong sealed and upright until their turn comes.
