Genuine Canon PG-243 Pigment Black Cartridge

The Canon PG-243 is a genuine pigment black ink cartridge with a 5.6 ml capacity. It suits owners of compatible PIXMA printers who need crisp text and durable black output for everyday documents.

Simple front-access installation

Open the printer cover, remove the old unit, and insert the PG-243 until it clicks; the onboard chip is recognised immediately by listed models. The only common issue is forgetting to peel the protective tape from the vent hole, which blocks ink flow and triggers an error message.

Limited to 5.6 ml yield and pigment-only formulation

The small 5.6 ml volume suits light home use but depletes quickly under heavy printing loads. Pigment black ink cannot reproduce colour images, so a separate colour cartridge is required for photos or graphics. Buyers needing high-volume or colour output should consider larger-capacity or multi-colour alternatives.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the Canon PG-243 cartridge is printing correctly after installation?

Print a nozzle-check or test page from the PIXMA MG3020, MG2924, MG2922, MG2920, MG2520, MG2420, iP2820, MG2525 or MX492 control panel; solid black lines without gaps show the pigment black ink is flowing properly.

What comes in the box and is anything else required to start printing?

The box contains one genuine Canon PG-243 pigment black cartridge (part 1287C001) with 5.6 ml of ink; no additional parts are needed if the printer already has paper loaded.

Should I choose the PG-243 or the PG-245 black cartridge for my PIXMA printer?

The PG-243 is fully compatible as a replacement for the PG-245 and fits the same PIXMA MG3020, MG2924, MG2922, MG2920, MG2520, MG2420, iP2820, MG2525 and MX492 models.
