Frequently Asked Questions

What will I find when I open this PG-50 / CL-41 set?

Inside are three PG-50 Black cartridges and two CL-41 Tri-Color cartridges — five pieces, each wrapped separately. Open only the one your printer asks for today.

How is the PG-50 different from the PG-40 my printer came with?

Same slot, same shape, bigger fill: the PG-50 is the high-capacity version of this design, rated at up to 510 pages against roughly 327 from a PG-40. If your machine accepts one it accepts the other, and choosing the PG-50 simply means the black slot runs dry less often across the year.

Which printers take every cartridge in this box?

The set matches the Canon JX200 fax machine, desk printers like the Canon PIXMA iP2200 and photo models Canon PIXMA iP6210D and Canon PIXMA iP6310D, and all-in-ones including the Canon PIXMA MP150 and Canon PIXMA MP170. Thirteen models are verified in total; yours needs to appear under Compatible Printers on this page.

Why pair a high-capacity black with a standard color cartridge?

Because the two slots empty at very different speeds. Documents chew through black, so the PG-50 side carries the big 510-page fill, while color work on these machines tends to be occasional — a chart here, a photo there — and the CL-41's 312 pages go a long way. The pairing spends capacity where your printing actually spends ink.

What does the page math look like for this set?

Three 510-page blacks plus two 312-page colors add up to the full box's combined rated yield. At $173.93 the set keeps its cost per page low. Photo-heavy printing pulls the real figure up — a full-bleed picture uses several times the ink of a text page.

Can a new cartridge cure the banding on my photo prints?

It stands a good chance. These are FINE cartridges, which means the printhead travels with the cartridge rather than living in the printer. Banding, gaps and a color that drops out mid-page are classic tired-head symptoms, and swapping the cartridge swaps the head with it — no tools, no service visit, nothing to dismantle.

How should I keep the spare cartridges until I need them?

Still sealed, standing upright, near room temperature and out of direct sun — a desk drawer away from heaters is all they ask. The seal, not the calendar, keeps the ink ready.

Is this a genuine Canon PG-50 / CL-41 set?

No. Canon did not make these; they are Clever Supplies compatibles produced to the same dimensions and fill specification as the originals. The printer cannot tell the difference in fit, and your wallet is the only place the difference is supposed to show.

Walk me through fitting one of these cartridges.

Leave the printer on, lift the cover and let the carriage settle. Release the empty cartridge, peel the tape from its replacement, and click it into the labeled slot — black and color are not interchangeable. Close the cover and let the machine charge the new cartridge first.

What cover do I get with this set?

Each cartridge is protected on its own under the Lifetime Warranty: if one leaks, fails early or prints poorly, that cartridge is replaced or refunded on its own merits. You also get a 1-year returns window across the whole purchase, so ordering a five-piece stock-up does not lock you in.
