From the Manufacturer

Canon CLI-226 Black Ink

Genuine Canon Quality

Genuine Canon inks and ink cartridges are designed, developed and manufactured in Japan. In other words, the entire process is centrally controlled and it makes the quality control simple and well-organized; and helps to maintain the quality of all genuine Canon inks at a high level. All genuine Canon ink cartridges are designed for your easy printing of your beautiful prints.

Long-Lasting Beautiful Photos

In order to provide longer-lasting and more beautiful vivid photo prints, Canon continues to develop genuine dye inks and genuine Canon photo papers specifically for PIXMA printers and take advantage of the superb printing ability of the "FINE" print head.

ChromaLife100+ is a system to help preserve both long lasting beauty and durability of photos with the combination of genuine Canon dye inks and photo papers.

Automatic Ink Monitoring

Genuine Canon ink tank equips LED to tell the user that ink level is now low and soon to be depleted, so that the user can prepare the replacement in advance. If the user does not replace the empty ink tank and keeps on printing, the print quality may deteriorate and fail to meet the standard for set printing conditions. LED flashes to inform users of which ink tank needs to be replaced. This helps to prevent users from incorrectly replacing ink tanks which contains enough ink to print.

It might be better if seller stated how cartridges will arrive. Cartridges seem to be genuine Canon Pixma ink.
Cartridges install correctly. Printed documents are as expected.

Canon CLI-226 Black Ink (4546B001)

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2013

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style: InkVerified Purchase

I just purchased the Canon MX712 AIO printer at BJ's for $89.99. I've always liked Canon products and liked the individual ink cartridges. I haven't run out of ink yet but I wanted to have a supply on hand. Depending on what you print and at what settings, you will find that you will always run out of one color before the others. So, my first purchase is always a combo pack. The only problem is that BJ's had the entire 5 pack of ink replacement cartridges for $69.99 and I had to buy this cartridge and a combo pack (4530B008) with PGI-225 BK, CLI-226 C,M,Y. Total price on Amazon $55.88 (saving $14.11). Although I had to purchase 2 separate items, I got what I needed and they arrived the very next day (I am a Prime member with free 2 day delivery). For those who argue that there should be a combo pack available as the one that BJ's has, I believe that there is a compatible Grey color cartridge that is use in other Canon printers (used in photography prints) instead of this black cartridge. So someone who doesn't need the smaller black cartridge can buy the grey instead.

How to use black pigment ink instead of this black dye ink

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2016

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style: InkVerified Purchase

Good ink. But it's more expensive to print with this black dye ink than black pigment ink if your printer has pigment ink available but isn't using it.

The correct settings to enable pigment black printing on B&W jobs is not intuitive. To make the printer use the cheaper and larger black pigment tank for B&W jobs, you must set printer properties as follows: Shut OFF the "grayscale" setting, shut off the duplex setting, and set the paper type to plain. Lastly, to use pigment black ink tank, the job sent to the printer must be a black and white (grayscale) print job. If the printer receives any color content in the job then all of the black content will be dye. So use the content software's print setup dialog to send only grayscale to the printer, then the software does the B&W conversion and ensures black pigment ink. These steps will cause it to print with pigment ink tank and save money on b&w jobs.
