Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Page yields for Canon FINE cartridges are measured under ISO/IEC 24711 standards using standard A4 test documents. Actual yield varies based on photo coverage and print frequency. Higher-yield PG-40 black and CL-41 colour cartridges deliver a greater number of prints before requiring replacement.

Key Insight for Integrated Printhead Cartridges
Because the PG-40 and CL-41 series feature Canon FINE technology with printheads built directly into each cartridge, replacing an empty tank automatically installs a brand new printhead mechanism, ensuring crisp document text and vibrant colour prints throughout the printer's lifespan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use PG-40 and CL-41 cartridges if my printer originally came with PG-37 and CL-38?
Yes. The PG-37 and CL-38 are lower-capacity standard cartridges, while the PG-40 and CL-41 are higher-capacity alternatives. Both series share identical physical dimensions and install into the same slots inside your Canon PIXMA MP220 printer.
What happens if one colour runs out in the CL-41 tri-colour cartridge?
The CL-41 is a single integrated unit containing cyan, magenta, and yellow inks. If any single colour chamber empties, the entire cartridge must be replaced to maintain accurate colour balance on your photo prints and graphics.
Can I mix a genuine Canon PG-40 black cartridge with a compatible CL-41 colour cartridge?
Yes, your Canon PIXMA MP220 operates normally when combining genuine and compatible cartridges across the black and tri-colour slots without causing electronic errors or quality issues.
