Buying Guide

Before ordering, make sure this 12-pack PGI-280XXL/CLI-281XXL ink cartridge set is compatible with your printer.

  1. Check your printer model. This 12-pack is ONLY compatible with premium PIXMA models that feature a 6th "Photo Blue" ink slot (listed in the Compatible Printers section below).
  2. Confirm the cartridge number. Your printer should use Canon PGI-280 and CLI-281 ink cartridges, including the Photo Blue tank.
  3. Choose a high-yield cartridge. XXL cartridges print significantly more pages than standard-capacity cartridges. Buying a 12-pack (two full sets) ensures you always have backup ink for high-volume photo and document printing.
