Pro tip for PG-40 and CL-41 cartridge users

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a high-yield PG-50 or CL-51 cartridge in my PIXMA MP150 if it came with PG-40 or CL-41?
Yes, PG-50 black and CL-51 colour cartridges share the exact physical dimensions as PG-40 and CL-41 cartridges. They fit into the same carrier slots inside the PIXMA MP150, but contain higher ink volume.
What happens if one colour runs out in the CL-41 or CL-51 tri-colour cartridge?
Tri-colour cartridges house cyan, magenta, and yellow ink in a single physical unit. When any single colour chamber empties, the entire cartridge must be replaced to maintain accurate document and photo colours.
Can I mix a genuine PG-40 black cartridge with a compatible CL-41 colour cartridge in the same printer?
Yes, the printer operates normally when combining genuine and compatible cartridges across the black and tri-colour slots.
