Frequently Asked Questions

What am I getting in this set?

The set contains 1 × PGI-250XL Black (up to 500 pages); 1 × CLI-251XL Black (up to 5,565 pages); 1 × CLI-251XL Cyan (up to 715 pages); 1 × CLI-251XL Magenta (up to 645 pages); 1 × CLI-251XL Yellow (up to 715 pages). One complete row of five XL tanks.

Which models does this five-tank set fit?

Thirteen verified printers, including the Canon PIXMA iP7220, Canon PIXMA iP8720, Canon PIXMA iX6820 and Canon PIXMA MG5420, with the full list under Compatible Printers on this page. Five separate tank slots and a model on that list is the whole test.

Why does this row hold two blacks?

Because the printer prints two kinds of black work. Pigment black from the PGI-250XL gives documents their crisp, water-resistant finish. Dye black from the CLI-251XL joins the colors inside photographs. The machine routes each job to the correct tank automatically — the two blacks never compete, they specialize.

What does a complete row cost per page?

The five tanks total the set's combined rated yield, so $29.93 buys the whole row at a strikingly low cost per page. That is startling arithmetic for a full change: all five slots renewed at XL capacity for less than a single standard original tank commonly costs.

When is changing all five at once the right move?

When the printer is new to you, rescued from storage, or faded across several colors at once. A simultaneous row gives you one known baseline — fresh ink, fresh chips, matched ages. In ordinary service afterwards, swap tanks individually as the printer names them.

How are the tanks fitted without mix-ups?

Printer on, cover open, and work slot by slot. Each tank is labeled and keyed; press the release tab, lift the old tank clear, and seat the new one until it clicks. Keep fingers off the chip contacts, and let the printer recognize the row before sending a real job.

Can one of the five stay a Canon original?

It can. Slots are independent and the printer reads each tank by its own chip, so a genuine tank can finish its life surrounded by these compatibles. Many owners convert exactly this way, spending nothing until each original has genuinely earned its replacement.

Who manufactures this set?

Clever Supplies, as a compatible alternative to Canon's PGI-250XL and CLI-251XL tanks — same dimensions, same chip behavior, same XL fills. These are not Canon products, and nothing about the listing pretends otherwise.

What happens if one tank proves faulty?

The Lifetime Warranty settles each tank on its own record: a leak, a failure or defective print quality earns that tank a replacement or refund. The order also sits within a 1-year returns window, so the full-row change is reversible.

Five tanks or eleven — which should I stock?

This set if you are proving the platform or print in bursts; the eleven-piece if the printer works weekly. Both carry the same tanks at the same per-page neighborhood — the larger box simply pre-buys the second color round and two extra pigment blacks.
