Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in this PG-50 / CL-51 set?

You get three PG-50 Black cartridges and two CL-51 Tri-Color cartridges, five in total, every one individually sealed. Open them one at a time, as the printer calls for them.

How does the CL-51 compare with the CL-41 I have used before?

The CL-51 is the fuller version of the same color cartridge. Both fit the identical slot and carry cyan, magenta and yellow in one body, but a CL-51 is rated at up to 450 pages where a CL-41 manages about 312. Paired with the 510-page PG-50, this set is the high-capacity combination for these printers on both sides of the carriage.

Which Canon models run on this set?

Thirteen verified machines, among them the Canon JX200, the Canon PIXMA iP2200, photo printers Canon PIXMA iP6220D and Canon PIXMA iP6310D, and the Canon PIXMA MP160 and Canon PIXMA MP170 all-in-ones. The full list is under Compatible Printers on this page; if your model is missing, this is not your set.

Who gets the most out of this particular combination?

Households that print photographs as well as paperwork. The standard color cartridge is where photo sessions hurt most, and the CL-51's extra fill stretches each color change noticeably further. If your printing is nearly all text, the CL-41 sets cost less for a reason; this one earns its price when color volume is real.

How many pages should I expect across the box?

The ratings sum to the highest combined total of any set for this printer group, and at $179.93 the cost per page works out keenly. Expect the color side to set the pace in practice: five borderless photos can out-drink fifty pages of email.

What happens when one color inside the CL-51 runs dry?

The cartridge finishes as a unit. Cyan, magenta and yellow share one body and one printhead on this design, so an empty chamber ends the cartridge even if the other two colors still hold ink. For photo work, keep the second CL-51 in the box in mind as your mid-session spare.

Why do cartridge prices here beat the ink-tank systems I have seen?

They do not, per page — and they are not meant to. A FINE cartridge also buys you a fresh printhead every time, since the head is built in; tank systems fold that hardware cost into the printer. The trade is a renewed head at every change against lower running costs on a tank machine.

How do I swap a cartridge without making a mess of it?

Power on, cover up, carriage settled — then work one slot at a time. Keep fingers off the copper contacts and nozzle strip, strip the tape only when ready to seat the cartridge, and press until it clicks.

Are these cartridges made by Canon?

They are not Canon-made. This set is a Clever Supplies compatible product, manufactured to the PG-50 and CL-51 specification and sold openly as an alternative. Fit, page yield and print behavior are the promises; the Canon logo is not part of the deal.

What if a cartridge from this set lets me down?

Tell us, and the Lifetime Warranty answers for that cartridge — a replacement or a refund if it leaks, under-delivers or spoils your prints. The whole order also sits inside a 1-year returns period.
