Frequently Asked Questions

Why add a dedicated red when magenta and yellow can mix one?

Because a mixed red has a ceiling. Blending magenta and yellow tops out at a slightly dull brick tone, while a true red pigment pushes past it into vivid scarlets, deep oranges and rich autumn reds. Red is one of the two gamut-expansion colors in the ten-color PGI-9 LUCIA pigment system, and this PGI-9 Red tank is what lets those hues print at full strength.

Which subjects show the red cartridge working hardest?

Fall foliage, sunsets, sports cars, product shots with red packaging, brick and terracotta, and flowers such as roses and poppies. In those images the printer leans on red directly instead of approximating.

Which printers does this red cartridge fit?

The Canon PIXMA iX7000, the Canon PIXMA MX7600, the Canon PIXMA Pro9500 and the Canon PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II are the verified models. Compatibility for this PGI-9 cartridge is claimed for those four printers only.

My reds print orange or dull — is the tank the place to start?

Start there, yes. A low or partially clogged red tank shifts saturated reds toward orange and flattens them. Print a nozzle check and examine the red pattern, then confirm the media type matches the loaded paper, because the wrong profile also reins in the gamut this cartridge exists to provide.

How does red cooperate with the green cartridge?

They guard opposite ends of the saturated range: PGI-9 Green extends living greens while red extends fire and earth tones, and core colors like PGI-9 Photo Magenta fill the gradients between them, and PGI-9 Cyan anchors the cool side. A landscape with both autumn trees and green fields can draw hard on the pair in a single print.

What yield is listed for the red tank?

About 210 pages, measured under ISO/IEC 24711 test conditions at around 5% coverage. That figure suits comparison shopping more than planning: saturated, red-heavy photographs will finish this tank faster than the benchmark suggests.

Does the cartridge include a working chip?

Yes. A new compatible chip is fitted, so the printer recognizes the PGI-9 Red cartridge and reports its level normally, with no non-genuine workaround needed for everyday printing. Canon firmware updates can occasionally change recognition — reseat the tank and restart if a warning appears after one, and the Lifetime Warranty covers a tank that still will not print.

If I rarely print red subjects, can the red slot stay empty?

No. The printer expects a ready tank in every slot of the system, whatever your subject, and it will prompt for a replacement when red runs out. Low red use means a tank lasts a long time; it simply cannot be skipped.

Is this cartridge manufactured by Canon?

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

What happens under the warranty if red prints badly?

Tell us, and the Lifetime Warranty applies: a cartridge that leaks, prints poorly or is not recognized will be replaced or refunded. Returns are separately covered for 1 Year.
