The high-yield capacity provides exceptional value for users who print regularly.

Installation Instructions:

1. Turn on your Canon PIXMA printer and open the cartridge access door
2. Wait for the cartridge holder to move to the replacement position
3. Remove the old PG-245 or PG-245XL cartridge by pressing down gently and pulling forward
4. Remove the new PG-245XL cartridge from packaging and remove the protective tape
5. Insert the new PG-245XL cartridge into the pigment black cartridge slot until it clicks

Storage Recommendations:

Store unused cartridges in their original sealed packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep cartridges upright to prevent ink leakage. For best results, use cartridges within 24 months of purchase date.

High Yield Advantages:

The PG-245XL high-yield cartridge offers approximately 67% more pages than the standard PG-245 cartridge, providing better value and fewer cartridge replacements. This makes it ideal for users who print regularly and want to reduce their cost per page while minimizing interruptions.

Dual Black Ink System:

Canon PIXMA printers use a dual black ink system: PG-245/PG-245XL pigment black for sharp text documents and CL-246/CL-246XL dye-based color for photo printing. This ensures optimal results for both text and photo printing applications. The PG-245XL is specifically designed for document printing, providing crisp, professional text output.

Performance Benefits:

Pigment-based black ink provides superior text quality with sharp edges and deep black density, making it ideal for professional business documents. The high page yield of 300 pages ensures extended printing between cartridge replacements, reducing downtime and maintenance costs in busy home offices and small businesses.
