Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Canon PIXMA MG6150 use two different black cartridges?
The PGI-525BK is a larger pigment black cartridge designed for sharp, crisp text on plain paper, whereas the CLI-526BK is a photo black cartridge used alongside CLI-526 colour and grey inks to produce deep tones on glossy photo paper.
What is the purpose of the CLI-526GY grey ink cartridge?
The CLI-526GY grey ink cartridge improves neutral greyscale tones in black-and-white photos and prevents colour casting in dark shadow areas of colour prints.
Can I replace single CLI-526 cartridges as they run out?
Yes, the individual cartridge system allows you to replace only the specific CLI-526 colour or grey cartridge that is depleted, avoiding unnecessary waste.
