A dependable desktop all-in-one printer for everyday documents, its four-ink system uses PGI-5BK pigment black for crisp text while CLI-8 colour tanks drain independently based on your page mix.

Expected page output and replacement cycles
Page yields for Canon PGI-5 and CLI-8 cartridges are measured under ISO/IEC 24711 testing standards. Text-heavy document printing depletes the PGI-5BK cartridge faster, while individual CLI-8 colour tanks consume ink proportionally depending on graphics and image density.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PGI-5BK | Standard | Black | 360 | $0.080 |
| CLI-8C | Standard | Cyan | 62 | $0.49 |
| CLI-8M | Standard | Magenta | 53 | $0.57 |
| CLI-8Y | Standard | Yellow | 40 | $0.34 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Replacing your inks with compatible PGI-5BK and CLI-8 cartridges offers significant savings for everyday printing without compromising text clarity or colour accuracy. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our genuine vs compatible guide to learn how third-party cartridges compare.
Managing your replacement cartridges
If you print mainly text documents, stock up on extra PGI-5BK black tanks to keep workflow uninterrupted. For mixed media, replacing individual CLI-8 cyan, magenta, or yellow cartridges as they deplete ensures zero ink waste. Choosing compatible options reduces printing costs, supported by a full money-back guarantee outlined in our returns policy.

Cartridge Pro Tip
Because the PIXMA MX700 uses individual ink tanks, replacing only the specific colour that has run out prevents throwing away remaining ink in other tanks-unlike older single-tri-colour cartridge designs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix genuine PGI-5BK black with compatible CLI-8 colour cartridges in the PIXMA MX700?
Yes, Canon's individual tank system allows you to mix genuine and compatible cartridges seamlessly. You can run a compatible PGI-5BK alongside genuine CLI-8 colour cartridges without issue.
Why does my PGI-5BK black cartridge run out faster than my CLI-8 colour inks?
The PGI-5BK relies on pigment black ink specifically designed for printing sharp plain-paper text, which is the default for general printing tasks. CLI-8 inks are dye-based and only used when printing photos, graphics, or mixed-colour documents.
What happens if one CLI-8 colour tank runs completely empty?
The PIXMA MX700 requires all four individual cartridges to be present and recognized to operate. Replacing the depleted CLI-8 tank immediately restores full printing capabilities across text and graphics.
