Pro Tip: Understanding the Dual Black System
The Canon PIXMA MX926 uses two separate black cartridges that serve distinct purposes. The larger PGI-650 cartridge contains pigment black ink designed purely for sharp plain-paper text documents, while the slimmer CLI-651BK cartridge contains photo black ink used exclusively for photo paper and colour graphics. Make sure you replace the correct black cartridge depending on whether document text or photo printing is running low.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Canon PIXMA MX926 use two distinct black cartridges?
The PIXMA MX926 uses a dual-black ink system. The large PGI-650 pigment black cartridge produces smudge-resistant text on standard plain paper. The smaller CLI-651BK photo black cartridge blends with cyan, magenta, and yellow inks to create contrast and dark tones in photos and artwork on glossy media.
Can I mix standard PGI-650/CLI-651 cartridges with XL or XXL sizes?
Yes, all cartridge capacities in this series share identical physical dimensions and connector designs. You can freely mix standard PGI-650, high-yield PGI-650XL, and extra high-yield PGI-655XXLB cartridges alongside any CLI-651 standard or XL colour cartridges in the same printhead array.
When should I choose the PGI-655XXLB over the PGI-650XL black cartridge?
The PGI-655XXLB extra high-yield black cartridge is designed specifically for heavy document printing. It contains more ink than the PGI-650XL, allowing you to print significantly more text pages between replacements and offering a lower overall cost per page for high-volume office tasks.
