Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges make up this set?

Three PG-240XXL black cartridges rated at up to 600 pages each, and two CL-241XL Tri-Color cartridges rated at up to 400 pages each — five cartridges, each sealed on its own, ready to be opened one at a time as slots run dry.

Why is the black an XXL but the color only an XL?

Because that is where Canon's capacity ladder stops on this platform. The black cartridge exists in a 600-page XXL fill; the tri-color tops out at the 400-page XL. This set simply takes the largest fill available for each slot, which is why the pairing looks lopsided on paper and balanced in practice.

Which printers does this set fit?

Twenty-three verified MG models, among them the Canon PIXMA MG2120, Canon PIXMA MG2220, Canon PIXMA MG3120, Canon PIXMA MG3220, Canon PIXMA MG3520 and Canon PIXMA MG3522. The remaining models are listed under Compatible Printers on this page. These MG machines span several years of production, so check the badge on your printer rather than the shape of the cartridge.

How does the cost per page work out?

The ratings add up to the combined yield of the full box, and $149.93 against that total makes for strong economics on a cartridge platform. Most of the credit goes to those 600-page blacks: document printing dominates MG workloads, and the XXL fill prices it keenly.

What kinds of ink are in the two cartridge types?

The PG-240XXL black is pigment ink — dense, quick to dry, resistant to water and highlighter ink on plain paper. The CL-241XL holds cyan, magenta and yellow dye inks in a shared body, blended at print time for graphics and photos. Documents belong to the black slot; images belong to the color side.

Will fresh cartridges clear up the streaks my MG has developed?

Very likely. These are FINE cartridges with the printhead manufactured into each unit, so the swap that replaces your ink also replaces the head that fires it. Streaks, dropouts and faded bands on an MG are head symptoms far more often than machine failures.

How do I keep five cartridges in good condition over their life?

Fit one, store four. The spares stay in their sealed wrappers, upright, in a cool place away from sunlight and heating vents. Because every change also renews the printhead, a cartridge fitted after long storage starts fresh rather than inheriting a dried-out head from the printer.

Can I run one of these beside a Canon original in the other slot?

Yes — the slots are independent. A compatible PG-240XXL can work alongside a genuine CL-241XL, or the reverse, and the printer treats both the same. Many MG owners convert one slot at a time as each original runs out, which is a sensible way to test compatibles.

Is this set made by Canon?

It is not. This is a Clever Supplies compatible set, built to the PG-240XXL and CL-241XL specification and rated fills. Canon did not manufacture it, and nothing on the box suggests it did; the case for it is fit, yield and price.

What guarantee and returns support the set?

The Lifetime Warranty applies cartridge by cartridge: a unit that leaks, fails early or prints below standard is replaced or refunded on its own. Returns run for 1 year from purchase across the order, so stocking five cartridges deep carries no long-term risk.
