Frequently Asked Questions

What comes packed in this set?

The set contains 1 × PGI-225 Black (up to 340 pages); 1 × CLI-226 Black (up to 510 pages); 1 × CLI-226 Cyan (up to 510 pages); 1 × CLI-226 Magenta (up to 510 pages); 1 × CLI-226 Yellow (up to 510 pages). One complete row of five tanks.

Which models does this five-tank set fit?

Fourteen verified printers: the Canon PIXMA iP4820, Canon PIXMA iP4920, Canon PIXMA iX6520 and Canon PIXMA MG5120 are listed here, with the remaining models under Compatible Printers on this page. Five separate slots and one of those badges is the whole requirement.

Why are there two black tanks in the row?

One prints your documents and the other prints your photographs. The PGI-225 pigment black gives text its water-resistant crispness; the CLI-226 dye black blends with the colors for image work. The printer routes each job to the right black on its own — owners only notice when one runs out.

How much printing does $35.55 buy?

The full box's combined rated yield — at a keen per-page cost. That is the individual-tank advantage in its purest form: a whole row of five fresh tanks for little more than a single original tank typically costs, and every slot renewed in the same session.

Is a full-row change better than replacing tanks as they die?

For a tired printer, often yes. When output has faded in several colors at once — or the machine is new to you with unknown tanks inside — a complete row resets levels, chips and ink age to a single known point. Afterwards, return to changing tanks individually as the printer calls them.

How do I fit five tanks without mixing them up?

Work left to right with the printer on and the cover open. Each tank is labeled by color and keyed to its slot; release the old tank, seat the new one until it clicks, and move on. Keep the chip contacts untouched and let the printer recognize the full row before printing.

Can I leave a Canon original in one slot and fit these in the others?

Yes. The five slots are independent and the printer reads each tank's chip on its own merits, so brands can mix in any arrangement. Many owners convert the row gradually this way and end up fully on compatibles without ever wasting a working original.

Who makes these tanks?

Clever Supplies, as a compatible alternative to Canon's PGI-225 and CLI-226 tanks — dimensioned, chipped and filled to the same specification. They are not Canon products and are sold openly as the alternative they are.

What if one tank in the row is faulty?

The Lifetime Warranty treats each tank as its own case: a leaking, failing or misprinting tank is replaced or refunded individually. The order also sits inside a 1-year returns window, so a full-row trial is a reversible step.

Should I have bought the ten-piece set instead?

If your printer works every week, its per-page economics will probably call you back. The five-piece set is the complete change; the ten-piece is the same row plus its successor, at a similar per-page rate. Start here if you are proving the platform; stock deeper once it has earned your trust.
