Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this printer carry a separate green cartridge at all?

Green is a dedicated expansion color in the ten-color PGI-9 LUCIA pigment system, not a mix your printer has to fake from cyan and yellow. Having green on board widens the printable gamut in foliage, grass, jade and emerald tones, so landscape photographs keep subtle differences between leaves and moss instead of one flat shade.

Will this PGI-9 Green cartridge work in my printer?

It is verified for the Canon PIXMA iX7000, the Canon PIXMA MX7600, the Canon PIXMA Pro9500 and the Canon PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II. No other models are claimed for this PGI-9 tank, so match your printer name to that list before you order.

My greens look muddy — could this cartridge be the reason?

Possibly, but check the basics first. An emptying or clogged green tank dulls exactly the saturated greens this color exists to extend. Print a nozzle check and look at the green pattern, confirm the driver media type matches your paper.

What page yield is quoted for the green tank?

About 210 pages, measured under ISO/IEC 24711 conditions at around 5% coverage. That benchmark is a comparison tool, not a promise for photo work: a full-bleed forest scene can draw heavily on green, while occasional garden shots spread the same tank across many more prints.

How does green work alongside the red cartridge?

They expand opposite corners of the gamut. Green deepens natural vegetation tones, while PGI-9 Red extends warm reds and oranges. Together with core colors such as PGI-9 Cyan, they let the printer reproduce saturated colors a four-color system would dull down, and PGI-9 Gray steadies the neutrals between them.

Will the printer read the ink level on this tank?

Yes. This Clever Supplies cartridge carries a new compatible chip, so the printer recognizes it and reports levels normally. Canon firmware updates can occasionally change recognition behavior; if a warning appears after an update, reseat the tank and restart. Anything that still will not print falls under the Lifetime Warranty.

Do I need green if I mostly print portraits and documents?

Your printer expects a functioning tank in the green slot regardless of subject, and it will ask for a replacement when the tank is empty. Portraits use far less green than landscapes, so your tank should last a long time — but the slot cannot simply be left empty or skipped.

How should I store a spare green cartridge?

Keep it sealed in its packaging, upright, at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. Install it only when the printer calls for the swap, and recycle the spent tank rather than refilling it.

Is this cartridge made by Canon?

No. It is a Clever Supplies compatible PGI-9 cartridge, filled to the original specification with pigment ink and rated at the same yield as the Canon original, at a lower price. It is newly built, not refilled, and our Lifetime Warranty backs it.

What happens if the cartridge fails or I change my mind?

The Lifetime Warranty covers failure at any point: leaking, poor printing or a cartridge the printer will not recognize means a replacement or a refund from us. Separately, returns run for 1 Year.
