FAQ
What printers is this Canon PGI-1200 cartridge compatible with?
This yellow ink cartridge is specifically designed for Canon MAXIFY MB series printers, including the MB2020, MB2120, MB2320, and MB2720 models. It will not work with other Canon printer families or third-party devices. Always verify your printer model before purchasing to ensure proper compatibility and performance.
How many pages can I expect from this Canon PGI-1200 cartridge?
The Canon PGI-1200 yellow cartridge has a typical print yield of 300 pages based on ISO/IEC 24711 testing standards. Actual page count may vary depending on print density, coverage percentage, document types, and printer settings. The standard yield designation indicates it's designed for regular rather than high-volume printing scenarios.
What type of ink does this Canon cartridge use?
This cartridge uses Canon's proprietary pigment-based inkjet ink in yellow color. Pigment ink offers better water resistance and fade resistance compared to dye-based inks, with particles that sit on the paper surface rather than absorbing deeply. The 12.40 mL volume provides substantial capacity for the rated yield.
What are the smudge and highlighter resistant features?
The ink formulation resists smudging from casual contact and prevents bleeding when highlighters are applied over printed text. This is particularly valuable for documents that require annotation, handling, or archiving where print integrity must be maintained. The resistance properties help keep documents professional-looking even with regular use.
Is this a genuine Canon original cartridge?
Yes, this is an authentic Canon original cartridge with part number 9234B001. Original Canon cartridges ensure optimal print quality, reliable performance, and compatibility with your printer's systems. Using genuine cartridges helps maintain printer warranty coverage and prevents potential issues that can occur with third-party alternatives.
What does the standard yield designation mean?
Standard yield indicates this cartridge is designed for typical printing volumes rather than high-capacity or XL alternatives. The 300-page rating represents average output under standardized testing conditions. For environments with moderate printing needs, standard yield cartridges offer a balance between capacity and cost-effectiveness for regular maintenance replacement cycles.
