This pigment black ink cartridge fits Canon PIXMA models including the iP7220, MG5420, MG6320, MX722 and MX922. It is an aftermarket replacement for the Canon PGI-250 PGBK tank and is supplied new. The cartridge uses Canon's FINE nozzle engineering for sharp text output and works with the ChromaLife100+ system on genuine Canon photo papers. The Smart LED indicator confirms when the tank is installed correctly.

Page Yield

The standard yield is rated at approximately 300 pages, making it suited for light to moderate document printing. Pigment-based ink provides smudge-resistant text that withstands handling and highlighter use. Individual colour tanks mean you only replace the black when it runs out, reducing waste compared with combined cartridges. This capacity covers everyday office or home paperwork without frequent changes.

Limits

High-volume users will find the 300-page yield requires frequent replacement and a higher cost per page than high-capacity alternatives. The cartridge is not designed for extensive photo printing; dye-based inks in the colour tanks handle images while this pigment black is optimised for text. Buyers needing thousands of pages per month or wide-format output should consider a printer that accepts larger tanks.
