Your Canon PIXMA iP2200 uses the PG-40 and CL-41 cartridge series, which features integrated FINE printhead design for clear text and borderless photo printing. Ink Depot has supplied reliable consumables for this model since Jan 2005. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability. Replacing standard PG-40 black or CL-41 colour cartridges with high-yield PG-50 and CL-51 alternatives reduces cartridge swap frequency for regular home printing.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
Page yields for PG-40, PG-50, CL-41, and CL-51 cartridges are measured using ISO/IEC 24711 standards under standard continuous printing tests. Upgrading to high-yield PG-50 black and CL-51 tri-colour cartridges provides higher page output, keeping cost per page lower for frequent document and photo printing.

Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Compatible cartridges provide a budget-friendly option without sacrificing print performance for everyday tasks. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.

Best options for replacing your ink
For standard document printing, choosing PG-50 high-yield black cartridges reduces per-page expenses. If printing family photos or mixed documents, CL-51 high-yield colour cartridges deliver longer service life. Compatible products include a money-back guarantee for complete confidence.

Pro Tip
Because tri-colour cartridges contain cyan, magenta, and yellow in a single unit, replacing the cartridge is necessary as soon as one colour is depleted. Choosing high-yield CL-51 cartridges helps balance ink usage across large print jobs and delays full replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a high-yield PG-50 black cartridge with a standard CL-41 colour cartridge?
Yes, PG-50 and PG-40 black cartridges share identical external physical dimensions and printhead fit. You can mix high-yield PG-50 black with standard CL-41 colour without any configuration issues.
Why do PG-40 and CL-41 cartridges include an integrated printhead?
Canon FINE technology places the printhead directly on the cartridge body. Every new PG-40, PG-50, CL-41, or CL-51 cartridge replaces the micro-nozzles, maintaining crisp print quality and preventing permanent printhead clog damage on the printer.
What happens when one colour depletes in the CL-41 or CL-51 tri-colour cartridge?
Tri-colour cartridges hold cyan, magenta, and yellow ink in three internal chambers. Once any single colour is depleted, the cartridge must be replaced to restore complete colour accuracy across your prints.
