Pro Tip
Pro Tip: Because this setup uses a large pigment black tank alongside a slim dye black tank, ensure you install the wide PGI-650 cartridge for plain text work to stop the printer from draining your specialised CLI-651 photo inks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this printer have two different types of black cartridges?
The system splits tasks by deploying a large PGI-650 pigment black cartridge to create crisp, waterproof text on plain document paper, while the narrow CLI-651 dye black cartridge activates specifically to produce deep, rich contrasts on glossy photo media.
Can I run the printer if an individual colour cartridge is empty but I only need black?
No, the printer requires a minimal presence of fluid in all five chambers to perform cooling cycles and protect the micro-nozzles from permanent heat damage, meaning it blocks printing operations until the empty tank is replaced.
What is the functional difference between standard and XL versions in this series?
Standard and XL cartridges have identical physical exterior shells and clip into the print carriage precisely the same way; the XL variants simply contain a larger physical filling of fluid inside the internal chamber.
