Frequently Asked Questions

What work does the cyan cartridge do in the PGI-9 system?

Cyan is one of the foundation colors in the ten-color PGI-9 LUCIA pigment system. It builds skies, water, teal tones and the blue-green range in photographs and graphics. This Clever Supplies PGI-9 Cyan cartridge is filled with pigment ink to the original specification.

Which printers does this PGI-9 Cyan cartridge fit?

It fits the Canon PIXMA iX7000, the Canon PIXMA MX7600, the Canon PIXMA Pro9500 and the Canon PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II. Check your printer name against that list before ordering.

How is standard cyan different from photo cyan in this printer?

Standard cyan carries the saturated, deeper blue-green work, while the lighter PGI-9 Photo Cyan handles pale skies and smooth highlight transitions. The printer draws on both as an image requires. They sit in separate slots and are not interchangeable, so a low standard cyan tank cannot be replaced with the photo version.

How many pages should I expect from one cartridge?

The rating is about 210 pages under ISO/IEC 24711 test conditions at around 5% coverage. Photo printing uses far more ink than that test assumes, so large prints with heavy sky or water coverage will lower the real count considerably.

Does this cartridge arrive with a chip fitted?

Yes. A new compatible chip is fitted, so your printer recognizes the PGI-9 cartridge and reports ink levels normally, with no workaround needed for everyday printing. If a Canon firmware update ever triggers a recognition warning, reseat the cartridge and restart the printer. A cartridge that still refuses to print is covered by the Lifetime Warranty.

Why are my blues printing too green or too purple?

Shifted blues usually mean one channel is weak or the wrong paper profile is selected. Run a nozzle check first: a broken cyan pattern points to a clog to clean, while a clean pattern suggests checking that the media type in the driver matches the paper loaded, since profiles change how cyan is laid down.

Can I replace only the cyan tank when it runs low?

Yes. Every color in this system is a separate tank, so you replace cyan alone and leave the rest in place. Many owners keep the companions that photos consume fastest within reach, such as PGI-9 Photo Magenta and PGI-9 Gray,

Is pigment ink a good match for photo paper?

Yes. The PGI-9 pigment formula is the ink set these pro printers were built around, and it holds color well on properly profiled photo and fine art papers. Keep the media setting accurate, let finished prints dry flat before stacking them, and store spare cartridges sealed, upright and away from heat.

Is this a genuine Canon cartridge?

No. This is a Clever Supplies compatible cartridge built to the same PGI-9 specification and rated yield as the original Canon cartridge, offered at a lower price. It is not a refilled or remanufactured Canon tank, and it carries our Lifetime Warranty instead of the Canon warranty.

What protection backs this purchase?

Every Clever Supplies inkjet cartridge carries a Lifetime Warranty. If this cyan cartridge ever leaks, fails to be recognized or prints poorly, contact us for a replacement or a refund. Returns are covered for 1 Year, so you can order a spare ahead of a large print run with confidence.
