Original Canon pigment ink ensures optimal text sharpness, protects your printer warranty, prevents potential damage from incompatible inks, and delivers consistent results page after page. Pigment-based ink offers superior water resistance and fade resistance compared to dye-based inks, making it ideal for archival documents.

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 PGI-225PGBK cartridge by pressing down gently and pulling forward
4. Remove the new cartridge from packaging and remove the protective tape
5. Insert the new PGI-225PGBK 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.

Dual Black Ink System:

Canon PIXMA printers use a dual black ink system: PGI-225PGBK pigment black for sharp text documents and CLI-226BK dye-based black for photo printing. This ensures optimal results for both text and photo printing applications.

Performance Benefits:

Pigment-based black ink provides superior text quality with crisp edges and deep black density, making it ideal for professional documents. The quick-dry formula prevents smearing on plain paper, while the water-resistant properties ensure your documents remain legible even when exposed to moisture or highlighting.
