Frequently Asked Questions

What does this eleven-tank set include?

The set contains 3 × PGI-255XXL Black (up to 800 pages each); 2 × CLI-251XL Black (up to 5,565 pages each); 2 × CLI-251XL Cyan (up to 715 pages each); 2 × CLI-251XL Magenta (up to 645 pages each); 2 × CLI-251XL Yellow (up to 715 pages each). The difference from the standard set is the document tank: an XXL pigment black in place of the XL.

Which printers run the PGI-255XXL?

Three models: the Canon PIXMA iX6820, Canon PIXMA MX722 and Canon PIXMA MX922. These are the family's wide-format and business-leaning machines — a 13-inch printer and two MX office all-in-ones. Other models in the range take the range's smaller XL pigment tank instead; the two pigment tanks are not interchangeable between rows.

What does the XXL black buy over the XL?

Far more documents per tank — 800 rated text pages against the XL's smaller rating. On the MX922 and MX722, which live on paperwork, and the iX6820, which alternates between plans and posters, that stretches the interval between black changes exactly where these machines work hardest.

How much printing does the whole box represent?

The set's combined rated yield in total, and $65.84 against that figure makes for a strikingly low cost per page. Three XXL document blacks plus two rounds of the photo row gives these dual-purpose machines a stock shaped like their workload: deep on text, doubled on color.

Why is the dye black's rating so much larger than the colors'?

The ratings come from different test patterns — the CLI black is measured on photo output, the pigment black on text documents, the colors on mixed pages. They describe laboratory throughput, not a race; in service, the tank that empties first is decided by what you print, not by the biggest number on the box.

When a tank runs out mid-job, what do I do?

Fit its spare from the box — the printer tracks each slot by chip and names the empty one. Two rounds of every dye tank and three blacks mean the answer is almost always already in your drawer. The job resumes after the swap and a brief charge cycle.

How do the spares keep over the set's working life?

Sealed, upright, cool and shaded — nothing more elaborate. Individual tanks are the most storage-friendly format in printing: no shared body, no opened colors aging together. The last tank out of this box performs like the first.

Who makes these tanks?

Clever Supplies manufactures the set as a compatible alternative to Canon's PGI-255XXL and CLI-251XL tanks, matched in fit, chip and rated fill. Canon did not produce it, and it is sold plainly as a compatible set.

Can these mix with Canon tanks in my MX922?

Yes — slot independence means any blend of original and compatible tanks prints normally, each read by its own chip. Convert the whole row in one session or let originals retire one by one; the machine does not distinguish between the two histories.

What guarantee stands behind the eleven tanks?

The Lifetime Warranty applies to each tank individually — a leaking or defective unit is replaced or refunded on its own merits. Returns are open for 1 year from purchase, a window suited to a set bought as a long-term supply.
