Pigment Black vs. Dye-Based Black

The PGI-270 uses pigment-based black ink, which is specifically formulated for text printing. Unlike dye-based inks, pigment inks sit on top of the paper surface rather than being absorbed, resulting in sharper text edges and superior fade resistance. This makes the PGI-270 ideal for documents that need to maintain their quality over time, such as contracts, reports, and archival materials.

Why Choose Genuine Canon PGI-270?

Genuine Canon ink cartridges are precision-engineered to work seamlessly with your Canon PIXMA printer, delivering consistent, professional-quality results. Canon OEM cartridges undergo rigorous quality control testing to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and print quality. Using genuine Canon ink helps protect your printer investment and ensures consistent, professional results.

Professional Document Quality

The pigment-based formulation of the PGI-270 produces exceptionally sharp text with crisp edges and deep, rich blacks. Documents printed with this cartridge look professional and polished, making them ideal for business correspondence, resumes, reports, presentations, and any application where text quality matters. The water-resistant properties ensure your documents won't smudge or run if exposed to moisture.

Easy Installation and Monitoring

Installing the PGI-270 is quick and mess-free thanks to Canon's user-friendly cartridge design. Simply remove the old cartridge, insert the new one, and you're ready to print. The integrated smart chip automatically communicates with your printer to provide accurate ink level monitoring, so you'll always know when it's time to order a replacement and never run out unexpectedly.

Environmental Responsibility

Canon offers a cartridge recycling program, making it easy to responsibly dispose of used cartridges and contribute to environmental sustainability. Simply return your empty cartridges through Canon's prepaid recycling program to help reduce waste and protect the environment.

Standard vs. XL Cartridge

The PGI-270 standard cartridge is ideal for users with moderate printing needs. For higher-volume printing, consider the PGI-270 XL high-yield cartridge, which offers approximately 500 pages and a lower cost per page. Both cartridges deliver the same exceptional quality, so choose based on your printing volume.

Ideal Applications

• Business documents and correspondence
• Reports and presentations
• Contracts and legal documents
• Resumes and cover letters
• School assignments and research papers
• Invoices and statements
• Meeting agendas and minutes
• Forms and worksheets
• Everyday home and office printing

Dual Black Ink System

Canon PIXMA printers use a dual black ink system for optimal results. The PGI-270 pigment black is used for text printing, while the CLI-271 dye-based black is used for photo and color document printing. Together, these two black inks ensure you get the best possible results for both documents and photos.
