Ink cartridges used by Canon MG printers
These families appear in the MG model listings. Match the exact printer before ordering; not every family fits every MG model.
Help with your Canon MG printer: ink & troubleshooting questions
Which ink does my Canon MG printer use?
- Choose your full model in the finder or directory. Its page lists the supply options associated with that printer.
- The MG directory includes 45 models and 6 listed ink families. Series names alone do not establish compatibility.
Do all Canon MG printers use the same ink?
- No. The listed families include PG-240 & CL-241, PG-243 & CL-244, PG-245 & CL-246, PGI-225 & CLI-226, PGI-250 & CLI-251, PGI-270 & CLI-271. Match the full cartridge or bottle number.
- Some models use two FINE cartridges (one black and one combined tri-colour); others use separate individual ink tanks. Match the full model first.
How can I find my MG model number?
- Look at the printer’s front panel, model label or documentation. Include number suffixes and model variants.
- Use the search field to narrow the directory; choose the complete model rather than a similar-looking number.
How do I change ink in a Canon MG printer?
- Use the exact model’s instructions for opening the ink area and releasing the supply. Wait for any moving holder to stop; never force it.
- The linked comparison guide explains two example mechanisms, but it does not replace the instructions for every MG model.

Are standard and XL inks interchangeable?
- Use a standard or XL choice only when the product listing supports your exact printer. Some families do not offer every capacity.
- A higher-capacity label does not make a different cartridge family compatible.
Should I buy single supplies or a multipack?
- Buy a single when you need one supply; consider a multipack when its colours and quantities match your needs.
- Check whether the pack is a complete colour set or includes spare black units. Compare the current pack price and contents; do not add black and colour yields into one combined yield.
What is different about MG ink systems?
- Some models use two FINE cartridges (one black and one combined tri-colour); others use separate individual ink tanks. Match the full model first.
- The MG range combines document and photo tasks with scanning and copying. Ink systems, connectivity, screens and paper features vary by model.
How do I improve faded or streaky MG prints?
- Check the ink supply, correct installation or refill state, and selected paper type. Print a nozzle-check pattern using the model’s maintenance menu.
- If the pattern has gaps, follow the prescribed cleaning sequence and check again. Use alignment for misaligned lines; repeated cleaning consumes ink.
- Consult the exact model manual if the fault remains: MG2525 manual ↗
What should I do about an ink warning or error code?
- Record the precise code and follow the instructions for that model. Low ink, an unrecognised supply and a hardware fault are different problems.
- Do not apply a Stop-button bypass from an MX example to every MG printer. Only follow a bypass or ink-counter action explicitly described in your model’s manual.
Which paper settings suit Canon MG printers?
- Select the media type and paper size that match the actual loaded paper. Use supported plain paper for documents and matching photo-paper settings for photographs.
- Use Draft only when available and suitable for rough copies. Supported sizes, envelopes, fine-art papers and feeding methods vary by model.
How should I store spare ink supplies?
- Keep unused supplies sealed, upright where instructed, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Follow the packaging’s storage guidance.
- Do not open a replacement until you are ready to use it; avoid touching contacts, nozzles or open ink ports.
Where are the right manuals and printer support links?
- Start with your exact model page, which includes its linked support resources where available.
- For the example used here, open Canon’s MG2525 manual ↗. Use that model’s maintenance procedure rather than another printer’s sequence.
