Canon PIXMA TR4720

Canon PIXMA TR4720 Ink — PG-275 / CL-276

The PIXMA TR4720 is a home-office all-in-one with an automatic document feeder and full wireless, built for document work, and it runs on the PG-275 / CL-276 FINE family: PG-275 black (up to 100 pages; no compatible cartridge sold for this code yet); PG-275XL black (up to 300 pages, $32.99); CL-276 tri-color (up to 100 pages; no compatible cartridge sold for this code yet); CL-276XL tri-color (up to 300 pages, $35.99). Every cartridge listed here is a Clever Supplies compatible, filled to the genuine specification and covered by our Lifetime Warranty.

For a document-led TR4720, the running-cost question starts with how little this printer asks you to manage: just one black and one tri-color cartridge, each with its printhead built in. A unit left idle for a year typically prints again after a swap, not a repair bill. Spend only inside the PG-275 / CL-276 family, though — look-alike Canon cartridges carry a different code and chip and will not be recognized.

Which PG-275 / CL-276 should you buy?

Only the black cartridge is empty: the PG-275XL Black Ink Cartridge ($32.99) replaces the PG-275XL on its own for up to 300 pages — best value when faded documents are the problem and the color side still has life.
Only the tri-color cartridge is empty: the CL-276XL Tri-Color Ink Cartridge ($35.99) replaces the CL-276XL on its own for up to 300 pages — best value when dull photos are the problem and the black side still has life.
Stock up: the PG-275XL CL-276XL Ink Cartridges Set of 5 ($157.43) keeps spares on the shelf in the black-heavy mix these printers actually use.
Both positions at once: the PG-275XL CL-276XL Ink Cartridges Set of 2 ($65.97) replaces black and color together — the right move when both lights are on.

Chip, ink and everyday use

Spend on the cartridge and you also spend on the printhead, because on this FINE machine the head lives inside the cartridge — which is why a fresh unit often ends the streaks and gaps that cleaning cycles leave behind. Each cartridge carries a new compatible chip, so levels read normally and the printer warns before a cartridge runs dry. Pigment black keeps text sharp and smudge-resistant, dye tri-color keeps photo color bright, and spares should stay sealed until install day, since an opened cartridge can dry at the nozzle plate.
