PIXMA MX722

Canon PIXMA MX722 Ink — PGI-250 / CLI-251 Cartridges

The Canon PIXMA MX722 prints with the PGI-250 / CLI-251 tank system: PGI-250XL pigment black (up to 500 pages), CLI-251XL black (up to 5,565 pages), CLI-251XL cyan (up to 715 pages), CLI-251XL magenta (up to 645 pages), CLI-251XL yellow (up to 715 pages), PGI-255XXL pigment black (up to 800 pages). Every compatible cartridge below fits the MX722; prices start at $8.24, chips are new, and the lifetime warranty applies to all of them.

The Canon PIXMA MX722 is an office all-in-one with fax and an automatic document feeder. This is one of the three models that also accept the extra-long PGI-255XXL pigment black, rated at up to 800 pages. For a printer of this age the cartridge question matters more than the hardware question: the engine lasts for years when the tanks keep coming. Because each tank sits in its own slot, colors are replaced one at a time — and compatible tanks can be mixed with genuine Canon tanks in any slot.

Which PGI-250 / CLI-251 cartridges should you buy for the MX722?

PGI-250XL document black first: the PGI-250XL Pigment Black Ink Cartridge — $8.24 · up to 500 pages — the pigment tank that everyday text, forms, and copies drain ahead of every color, making it the first spare to keep ready.
CLI-251XL dye black for images: the CLI-251XL Black Ink Cartridge — $8.24 · up to 5,565 pages — the dye black that deepens photo shadows and dark areas in graphics, spent by images rather than plain text.
CLI-251XL cyan for cool tones: the CLI-251XL Cyan Ink Cartridge — $8.24 · up to 715 pages — the cyan supply behind blues, greens, and sky tones, which photo and chart work draw down steadily.
CLI-251XL magenta for warm reds: the CLI-251XL Magenta Ink Cartridge — $8.24 · up to 645 pages — the magenta supply behind reds, pinks, and skin tones, often the first color to dip after photo sessions.
CLI-251XL yellow for bright shades: the CLI-251XL Yellow Ink Cartridge — $8.24 · up to 715 pages — the yellow supply that keeps warm highlights and bright graphics vivid, replaced on its own schedule.
PGI-255XXL extra-long document black: the PGI-255XXL Pigment Black Ink Cartridge — $8.24 · up to 800 pages — the extra-long pigment option for heavy document runs, chosen when black swaps need to happen less often.
11-tank full restock: the PGI-250 / CLI-251 Set of 11 BCMY Ink Cartridges — $65.84 · 11 cartridges (BCMY) — every slot covered in a single purchase, the box to open when several tanks are running low together.
5-tank deeper reserve: the PGI-250 / CLI-251 Set of 5 BCMY Ink Cartridges — $29.93 · 5 cartridges (BCMY) — a complete round of replacements in one carton, suited to refreshing the whole printer at once.
11-tank alternate restock: the PGI-255 / CLI-251 Set of 11 BCMY Ink Cartridges — $65.84 · 11 cartridges (BCMY) — the larger restock for owners who would rather change tanks in batches than chase individual warnings.

Chip, ink and everyday use

Fax and feeder work make the MX722 a black-first office machine, with a choice at the top: the standard PGI-250XL pigment black for regular volume, or the extra-long PGI-255XXL when document runs are heavy and swaps need spacing out. The CLI-251XL colors empty far more slowly, magenta a touch ahead of cyan and yellow. Every cartridge listed has a new compatible chip, pigment black prints documents and dye tanks print color and photos, and a rejected tank should be lifted out, its contacts checked clean and dry, and clicked back in. Spares stay upright, away from direct sunlight.
