Genuine Canon CLI-226 Black Cartridge

The Canon CLI-226 black ink cartridge (4546B001) delivers genuine dye-based output for compatible PIXMA printers. It is suited to home users and small offices that prioritise original-manufacturer reliability for everyday documents and photos.

Thermal noise and power draw

As a passive ink tank the cartridge adds no heat, noise or electrical load to the printer during normal operation. Print quality and yield remain consistent without additional cooling or power considerations.

Build fit and system impact

The single cartridge slots directly into supported PIXMA models including iP4820, iP4850, iP4950, iX6520, iX6550, MG5120, MG5150, MG5220, MG5250, MG5320, MG5350, MG6120, MG6150, MG6220, MG6250 and MG8120. It replaces only the black tank, leaving colour cartridges untouched and freeing budget for other consumables. Buyers needing high-capacity tanks or pigment-based black ink for archival work should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Canon CLI-226 black cartridge in my PIXMA iP4820, and what step is often missed?

Open the front cover, wait for the carriage to centre, push the old tank down to release it, insert the new CLI-226BK until it clicks, then close the cover and run the alignment routine from the printer menu — skipping alignment causes misregistered text.

What replacement will this cartridge need after its rated life?

After approximately 510 pages the ink tank is empty and must be replaced with another genuine Canon CLI-226 black cartridge (part 4546B001); the print head stays in the printer and is not user-replaced.

At what page count will print quality start to fade under continuous printing?

Canon rates the CLI-226BK at 510 pages; beyond that yield the dye-based ink runs low and densities drop, so plan a fresh cartridge at or before the 510-page mark.
