Frequently Asked Questions

What arrives in this box?

One PG-260XL Black cartridge rated at up to 400 pages, plus one CL-261XL Tri-Color rated at up to 300. A complete change for both slots of a TR or TS printer, with nothing left over.

Which printers is this pair made for?

Six models only: the Canon PIXMA TR7020, Canon PIXMA TR7020a, Canon PIXMA TR7022a, Canon PIXMA TS5320, Canon PIXMA TS6420 and Canon PIXMA TS6420a. If your machine carries one of those badges, this pair is its full cartridge refresh; if it does not, no other Canon pair should be substituted on looks.

Why buy the pair rather than single cartridges?

Because the two slots age together in most homes. When black fades, color is usually not far behind, and changing both returns the printer to a clean baseline in one session — two fresh printheads, since each FINE cartridge includes its own, and no second order a fortnight later.

What does the pair cost per page?

The pair's combined rated yield for $71.97 works out at a modest per-page cost. The color cartridge sets the ceiling here — 300 pages is a modest fill — but for the document-led printing these models mostly do, the 400-page black does the economic heavy lifting.

What is the difference between the inks in the two slots?

The black cartridge uses pigment ink, which dries fast on plain paper and keeps text edges crisp under highlighters and the odd coffee splash. The tri-color uses dye inks, which soak in and blend — the right behavior for photographs, charts and the color pages of school projects.

Fitting the pair — what is the routine?

Power the printer on, raise the cover, and wait for the carriage to park. Swap the black first or the color first, but one at a time; unseal each cartridge only at its turn, seat it in its labeled slot until it clicks, and keep hands off the nozzle strip and contacts throughout.

Will a fresh pair fix the washed-out color on my TS5320?

It is the most probable fix on this platform. Washed-out or banded output usually means a tiring printhead, and on FINE cartridges the head arrives with the cartridge. A paired change replaces both heads at once, which is why the improvement tends to look dramatic.

Is this set an original Canon product?

It is not — Clever Supplies manufactures it as a compatible alternative, matched to the PG-260XL and CL-261XL specification and fills. The printer sees the cartridges it expects; your bank statement sees a lower number than the originals carry.

What if I need more ink later — do the bigger sets mix with this pair?

Perfectly. The five-piece set for these printers contains the same two cartridge types, so today's pair and a future stock-up rotate through the machine without distinction. Start small, scale up when your print volume tells you to.

What warranty and returns apply?

Each cartridge carries the Lifetime Warranty individually: leaks, failures and print defects are replaced or refunded per cartridge. A 1-year returns window also covers the order, so the pair can be bought on need rather than on hope.
