Buying Guide

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

Check your printer model. This 12-pack is designed for the PIXMA models listed below that use a sixth CLI-281 Photo Blue ink slot.
Confirm the cartridge number. Your printer should use one PGI-280 cartridge and five CLI-281 cartridges per set, including CLI-281 Photo Blue.
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.
