Frequently Asked Questions

What job does the PGI-35 tank do in a two-tank portable printer?

It is the document tank. The PGI-35 holds pigment black, the ink that sits crisply on plain paper for letters, invoices, boarding passes and forms. Its partner tank handles color and photo black, so this tank keeps everyday text sharp on printers built to travel.

Which printers does this black tank fit?

All six verified models: the Canon PIXMA iP100, Canon PIXMA iP110, Canon PIXMA mini260, Canon PIXMA mini320, Canon PIXMA TR150 and Canon PIXMA TR160. The same two tanks serve this whole portable line, so one spare covers any of them.

How many pages does one tank print?

Up to 191 pages, on the cartridge supplier's rating for standard test pages at around 5% coverage. Portable printing skews toward short documents, which suits the rating well; a run of dense contracts or full-page graphics will land lower, while one-page letters and receipts land close to it.

Where does the black in my photos come from, if not from this tank?

From the partner tank: the CLI-36 Tri-Color cartridge carries dye black alongside cyan, magenta and yellow in one body, and that dye black is the photo black, laying down deep, glossy dark tones on photo paper. If photos look washed out but text stays sharp, the color tank is the likely culprit.

Does the PGI-35 have a chip, and what does it do?

Yes — a new compatible chip that reports ink levels to the printer, so low-ink warnings keep working on the road, where running dry mid-job hurts most. It is not a refilled original shell with a reset chip, and levels show normally after installation.

A message appeared on the printer after I installed it — what should I do?

Acknowledge the message, lift the tank out and reseat it until it clicks, then restart the printer. If it persists, wipe the gold chip contacts with a dry, lint-free cloth and reinstall. Most messages clear at the reseat step; anything that still refuses is a warranty matter.

Can I run this tank beside a genuine Canon color tank?

Yes. Each slot is read independently, so a compatible black beside a genuine color tank — or the reverse — prints normally. Switch over one tank at a time and finish the genuine stock you already own.

Can I carry a spare tank in my travel bag?

Yes — keep it sealed and upright in its packaging, away from heat. Portable owners often carry one spare black with the printer, since text is the first thing these machines run out of away from the desk.

What are my options when I also need the color side?

Pick up the CLI-36 Tri-Color single, or stock both sides together with the PGI-35 / CLI-36 Set of 5 or the larger PGI-35 / CLI-36 Set of 8. The sets weight black more heavily, matching how these printers are actually used.

Is this a genuine Canon cartridge?

No. It is a Clever Supplies compatible cartridge built to the PGI-35 specification, not manufactured by Canon; the Canon name appears only to identify the printers it fits.

What happens if the tank leaks or is not recognized?

Stop and contact us — do not keep printing on a faulty tank. The Lifetime Warranty covers recognition failures, leaks and print-quality defects with replacement or refund, and returns are free for the first year.
