Frequently Asked Questions

What does this thirteen-tank set include?

The set contains 3 × PGI-230 Black (up to 600 pages each); 2 × CLI-231 Black (up to 600 pages each); 2 × CLI-231 Cyan (up to 800 pages each); 2 × CLI-231 Magenta (up to 800 pages each); 2 × CLI-231 Yellow (up to 800 pages each); 2 × CLI-231 Gray (up to 800 pages each). Thirteen tanks, each sealed on its own.

Which printer is this set built around?

Exactly one: the Canon PIXMA TS8820. This set exists because that machine's six-tank row — pigment black, dye black, three colors and a gray — is shared by no second model in this catalogue. If yours is the TS8820, every tank has a slot; otherwise, this is not your set.

Why does the TS8820 carry both a gray and two blacks?

It is a photo printer that refuses to compromise on documents. The PGI-230 pigment black prints pages; the CLI-231 dye black works inside photographs; and the gray tank draws the neutral scale between them, so monochrome prints stay neutral and gradients in color work stay smooth. Three dark inks, three separate crafts.

How much printing does the box hold in total?

The full box's combined rated yield — at $110.96, a per-page cost unusually low for a six-tank photo machine. It is also why the stock makes sense: the TS8820 sips color tanks on borderless prints, and the second round of every tank is already on your shelf.

Why three pigment blacks but only two of everything else?

The count follows consumption. The pigment black serves every document the household sends — letters, forms, homework — while each dye tank serves only its share of image work. Tripling the document tank and doubling the rest keeps the set balanced, so the row tends to run low together rather than stranding full colors behind an empty black.

Do the thirteen tanks install as a batch?

They do not. Each tank is independent, chipped and level-tracked; the printer names the slot that is low and you fit that one tank from the box. The set is best understood as the printer's private warehouse — a year or more of stock that installs itself one tank at a time.

How do the tanks behave in storage over that kind of span?

Sealed and upright in a cool drawer, they simply wait. Nothing degrades on a shelf inside its wrapper, and since the TS8820 keeps its own printhead, a tank fitted after a year meets a healthy machine rather than compensating for one.

Who manufactured this set?

Clever Supplies, as a compatible alternative to Canon's PGI-230 and CLI-231 tanks — all six positions, gray included, matched in fit and rated fill. It is sold openly as a compatible set; Canon's branding and pricing are not part of it.

Can these tanks run alongside Canon originals in the row?

Yes — every slot minds itself. A compatible cyan beside an original gray confuses nothing; the printer reads each tank's chip independently. Owners often convert position by position as originals finish, and this box supports exactly that kind of gradual changeover.

What guarantee covers a stockpile this size?

The Lifetime Warranty judges all thirteen tanks individually — a single leaking or faulty tank is replaced or refunded without the rest being questioned. Returns also remain open for 1 year from purchase, which fits a set bought to cover a long stretch.
