Frequently Asked Questions

What does this fourteen-tank set hold?

The set contains 4 × PGI-225 Black (up to 340 pages each); 2 × CLI-226 Black (up to 510 pages each); 2 × CLI-226 Cyan (up to 510 pages each); 2 × CLI-226 Magenta (up to 510 pages each); 2 × CLI-226 Yellow (up to 510 pages each); 2 × CLI-226 Gray (up to 510 pages each). Fourteen sealed tanks.

Which printers use the gray-inclusive row?

Five models: the Canon PIXMA MG6120, Canon PIXMA MG6220, Canon PIXMA MG8120, Canon PIXMA MG8120B and Canon PIXMA MG8220. These are the six-slot flagships of the range. Other PGI-225 printers have no gray position, so for them this set's last pair has no home — the ten-piece set is their version of this box.

What work does the gray tank do in these printers?

It lays down true neutral tones. In black-and-white printing, gray ink produces the smooth mid-tones that lesser printers fake by blending colors — a trick that leaves prints tinted green or purple under some lights. It also refines gradients in color work, particularly skin tones and skies.

Why four pigment blacks in a photo printer's set?

Because flagship all-in-ones live two lives: darkroom on weekends, home office on weekdays. Four 340-page pigment blacks carry the documents, contracts and schoolwork, while two rounds of every color and gray feed the photography. The mix follows the machine's actual double life.

What is the page total across the box?

The full box's combined rated yield, with $83.79 working out at a keen per-page cost. For a printer class that drinks ink in borderless A4 photographs, holding the average near a cent a page is the entire case for buying tanks fourteen at a time.

Does the gray tank get used in everyday color printing?

Lightly. The driver calls on gray mainly for neutral and near-neutral areas — shadows, stone, fog, monochrome images — and leaves saturated color to the dye primaries. Expect the gray pair to outlast the first color round and to be noticed most when it is absent from a B&W print.

How does the printer track fourteen tanks' worth of levels?

One tank at a time, by chip, exactly as it tracks a single round. Each fitted tank reports its own level; spares in the drawer are simply stock. When a slot runs low the printer names the color, and you swap that tank from the box in under a minute.

Is this a Canon original set?

No — Clever Supplies manufactures it as a compatible alternative, matched tank for tank to the PGI-225 and CLI-226 family, gray included. It fits the same six slots at the same rated capacities, without carrying Canon's branding or its price.

My B&W prints come out with a magenta cast. Can this set help?

It addresses the usual mechanism. Casts creep in as color tanks age at different rates and the printer's gray-by-mixture drifts. A fresh row — above all a genuine gray tank laying true neutrals — restores the balance. Run the alignment utility after fitting, then judge a test print.

What protection covers a set this size?

The Lifetime Warranty applies to all fourteen tanks individually: any unit that leaks, fails or prints defectively is replaced or refunded on its own. Returns remain open for 1 year from purchase as well — proportionate cover for a long-term stockpile.
