Frequently Asked Questions

What does this set of 5 contain?

The set contains 3 × PGI-35 Black (up to 191 pages each); 2 × CLI-36 Tri-Color (up to 200 pages each). Five small cartridges for Canon's portable printers — three blacks, because documents are what travel printers mostly print, and two colors behind them.

Which printers is this set made for?

Six mobile models: the Canon PIXMA iP100, Canon PIXMA iP110, Canon PIXMA mini260, Canon PIXMA mini320, Canon PIXMA TR150 and Canon PIXMA TR160. These are the briefcase printers — battery-capable machines built for hotel desks, site cabins and kitchen-table offices. No desktop PIXMA takes these cartridges; the set belongs to the road.

Why are the page ratings so much smaller than desktop sets?

Physics. A printer that fits in a carry-on cannot hold desktop-size cartridges, so the PGI-35 and CLI-36 are compact by design — around 191 and 200 rated pages. The economics follow size: $37.43 for the set's combined rated output is the honest price of printing anywhere.

Why three blacks and two colors?

Travel printing is document printing: contracts at a client's office, invoices at a market stall, boarding documents, forms. Black does that work, so the set stocks it deepest. The two tri-color cartridges cover the occasional photograph or color document without taking over the bag.

Can these cartridges fix faint output on the road?

They fix the most common cause. On these little machines, fading and streaks usually mean a cartridge near empty or a head dried by disuse — and since the cartridge carries the print path with it, a fresh one renews output in a way cleaning cycles cannot. Swap, run a nozzle check, and print the document.

How do I change a cartridge in a portable printer?

The same discipline as at a desk, on whatever surface you have: power on, open the cover, wait for the carriage, and seat the new cartridge until it clicks, keeping fingers off the contacts. These machines are built to be serviced in the field, so the whole change takes under a minute.

How should spares travel?

In their seals, in the printer's carry case or a padded pocket of the same bag — never loose among cables and chargers. A sealed spare rides for months without complaint, and the portable life means the spare is not a luxury: there is no office supply cupboard at a client site.

Who makes these cartridges?

Clever Supplies manufactures them as compatibles matched to the PGI-35 and CLI-36 design for Canon's portable range. They are not Canon products; they are the compatible alternative, dimensioned and filled to the same specification.

Are the color cartridges individual colors?

No — the CLI-36 is a tri-color cartridge, with cyan, magenta and yellow in one body, which suits the portable format's simplicity. When its hardest-working color finishes, the cartridge is changed as a unit. There are no separate color tanks anywhere in this printer line.

What warranty and returns cover the set?

The Lifetime Warranty applies to each cartridge individually — a leak or failure is replaced or refunded on that cartridge alone. Returns are open for 1 year from purchase as well, which suits a kit bought to live in a travel bag.
