Frequently Asked Questions

How many cartridges does this set include?

The box holds 3 × PG-40 and 2 × CL-41 — 5 cartridges in all. Each one is sealed on its own, so a cartridge only leaves its wrapper on the day you actually fit it.

Which printers does this PG-40 / CL-41 set fit?

It serves the Canon JX200, the Canon PIXMA iP1200, Canon PIXMA iP1600, Canon PIXMA iP2200 and Canon PIXMA iP6210D, plus all-in-ones such as the Canon PIXMA MP150 and Canon PIXMA MP160. Twenty-six verified models appear under Compatible Printers on this page — check yours is listed, because lookalike Canon generations often take different cartridges.

Why does the box lean so heavily toward black?

Because that is how these printers actually get used. Three PG-40 blacks rated at up to 327 pages each cover the letters, forms and schoolwork that drain the black slot first, while two CL-41 tri-colors at up to 312 pages each handle the smaller color load. The 3-to-2 split mirrors a real year of printing better than an even split.

What sort of ink sits inside a PG-40 and a CL-41?

Two different recipes share the box. PG-40 black is a pigment ink, the type that sits crisply on plain paper and shrugs off highlighter strokes. CL-41 color is dye-based, which blends smoothly and gives photographs their saturated look. Neither cartridge can do the other's job, and the printer expects exactly this pairing.

My prints have streaks that cleaning cycles will not shift. Can fresh cartridges help?

Quite possibly, yes. On this FINE platform the printhead is part of the cartridge, not part of the printer, so a cartridge change quietly replaces the component that lays down the ink. Faded bands and missing lines that survive cleaning usually trace back to a tired head — which leaves with the old cartridge.

How much printing does $118.50 buy here?

Added together, the five cartridges carry the combined yield of the full box, which keeps the running cost per page well down. Heavy photo coverage drinks the color cartridge faster; plain text stretches the blacks beyond the rating.

Are these genuine Canon cartridges?

They are not. This is a Clever Supplies compatible set, built and filled to match the PG-40 and CL-41 specification; Canon neither manufactured nor endorsed it, and the packaging states that plainly. What you are buying is the same fit and a comparable fill without the brand-name price tag.

Do I fit all five cartridges at once?

No — fit one, when its slot asks. The set is a small stock cupboard rather than a single job: swap whichever cartridge the printer flags, and leave the others sealed in the box. A cool drawer away from radiators keeps the waiting cartridges ready for many months.

One color in my CL-41 has run out but the other two still print. What happens?

The CL-41 carries cyan, magenta and yellow inside a single body, so the three colors share one lifespan. Once any one of them is exhausted the cartridge is done, even if ink remains for the other two. That is the tri-color trade-off: simple installation, one shared finish line.

What protection backs this set if something goes wrong?

Every cartridge in the box carries our Lifetime Warranty individually, so a leaker or a dud is replaced or refunded without the rest of the set being involved. Returns stay open for a full year from purchase, too.
