Questions & Answers

Shopper : is this pigment ink or dye based ink?ROBERT M : Documentation states "four dye based ink tanks and one pigment based black tank". Since four are sold together under cli-225 and this is 226, I assume that this is the pigment based one.RICHARD H : Not 100% sure but since the 225 tank is pigment black my guess is that the 226 black tank is dye based.MICHAEL F : The large black (PGI-225) is a pigment ink, solid particles suspended in a carrier liquid which evaporates. This leaves the color particles on the surface of the paper where they bond to the paper by grabbing on to the almost microscopic rough surfaces of the paper fibers. This cartridge will be used when printing text documents or when printing in grayscale. The small cartridges, black and colors (CLI-226), are all dye based inks. They are made to soak into the paper and dry. Since the black pigment which dries on the surface can't mix with the color dyes which soak into the paper they need to use a black dye to mix with the colors for a richer color palette. Despite the fact that it's black, the small cartridge is considered a color cartridge because of this.JERRY B : The Canon CLI-226 Black Ink is a dye ink.JAMES A : It is great !
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?WENDY W : My printer needs ink.WENDY W : It's the right ink for my printer.WENDY W : Works in my printer.BRIAN R : This is a genuine Canon cartridge at the best price anywhere.MELISSA S : Best price on Canon Inks!Angie P : Comparing with other online (and box-store) vendors, Adorama had the best price for this genuine-Canon ink cartridge.

Black 225 PGBK ink tank for Canon PIXMA models

This ample supply of black ink complements the smaller color cartridges of my iP4820 printer.

Yikes yet another empty cartridge

Well yep but the photos look great. Grew up with B&W so not real keen on that but suppose this makes the color look better as well. Everyone used to say no aftermarket ink with Canon Printers and I have adhered to this.

Like the 3 pack. Would like to see the 226 gray added for a four pack.

Expensive.

Ink doesn't last long. Expensive when you have 2 printers that use the same ink.

Best Choice for Canon

Works consistently for Canon printers. I have tried other, non Canon ink cartridges with inconsistent results, causing me to discard them well before they have been used up. In my experience, non-Canon products may have lower initial costs, but prove not to be cost effective over the long term.

Not satisfied

While satisfied with these quality inks, I did have to wait for quite a bit to receive. It took forever to get them to me. My first attempt at a review was denied. Being honest in my review did not meet the guideline. I will consider this when it is time for a new printer.

Canon always has what I need

I have been purchasing Canon printers and other products for over 25 years. Canon always has the best quality. I like that I get free gifts with my purchase, which may be free shipping. I am able to find what I need here on the website; my local stores do not carry what I need. Thank you, Canon, for being the best.

Four ink cartridges for a six cartridge printer?

The product is fine, it's a Canon ink well, and it's my expectation that it's going to work just fine. The reason I can't go five stars is because my printer uses six ink cartridges, and these are four of the six. It's darn near impossible to put together a package of six cartridges to order, so we end up with extras of one type and missing other types. Canon invented the printer. It seems that they could put together a package of the six cartridges that the printer they invented uses.

It’s very expensive, in the last two purchases you have not decided to send me any free paper. I am appreciate free paper when I purchase ink from your company.
