Frequently Asked Questions

What is inside this two-cartridge box?

One PG-50 Black and one CL-51 Tri-Color — a single matched pair that refreshes both slots of your printer at the same sitting. The black is rated at up to 510 pages, the color at up to 450.

Why choose the pair instead of a five-piece set?

Choose it when you want both slots new today and nothing left over afterwards: a printer coming back from storage, a machine you are passing to a student, or a first trial of compatibles before committing to a stock-up. The cartridges are identical to those in the bigger boxes — only the commitment is smaller.

Which printers does this pair belong to?

The same thirteen verified models as its larger siblings: the Canon JX200, Canon PIXMA iP2200, Canon PIXMA iP6210D, Canon PIXMA iP6310D, Canon PIXMA MP150 and Canon PIXMA MP170 are on the list, with the rest under Compatible Printers on this page. Confirm your model there first — a near-miss Canon of the same era may take a different pair entirely.

How far will one pair actually take me?

Together the two cartridges carry the pair's combined rated yield, and at $53.97 the per-page cost stays low. In a home printing a few dozen pages a week, a fresh pair lasts most of a school term; a photo-heavy month ends the color side sooner.

Is there an advantage to changing both cartridges together?

Yes, on this platform there genuinely is. Each FINE cartridge brings its own printhead, so a simultaneous swap gives the printer two factory-fresh heads at once — the cleanest possible baseline. If output has been mediocre in both black and color, the pair resets the whole print path in one cover-lift.

What do the two inks do differently?

The PG-50's pigment black anchors itself to plain paper for sharp, smudge-resistant documents. The CL-51's dye colors — cyan, magenta and yellow sharing one body — are made to blend, which is what photos and graphics ask for. Text printed from the color cartridge looks softer for a reason; the black slot is the document specialist.

Fitting them — anything I should watch for?

Work with the printer on and the carriage settled, and swap one slot at a time so the pair cannot cross over. Peel the tape from each cartridge only at the moment of fitting, avoid touching the nozzle strip underneath, and let the printer run its short charge cycle before judging the first page.

Are these Canon originals?

No — this pair is made by Clever Supplies as a compatible alternative to Canon's own PG-50 and CL-51. It matches the originals in fit and rated fill, and it is priced as an alternative should be. Nothing about the box pretends otherwise.

If the pair suits my printer, can I move up to the bigger sets later?

Freely. The five-piece sets hold the very same cartridges, so pair and stock-up intermix without issue. Owners who start with the pair commonly reorder the larger box once it proves itself.

What warranty and returns cover this pair?

Both cartridges sit under the Lifetime Warranty, each judged on its own performance: a leak or a failure means a replacement or refund for that cartridge. The order also carries a 1-year returns window, so even a small first order is not a gamble.
