FAQ
What printers is this Canon PGI-1200 XL Cyan cartridge compatible with?
This cartridge is specifically designed for and compatible with the Canon MAXIFY MB2020, MB2120, MB2320, and MB2720 printer models. These are business-class inkjet printers in Canon's MAXIFY series. Using this genuine Canon cartridge ensures proper fit, optimal ink flow, and reliable performance in these compatible printers.
What does '900-page yield' mean for this ink cartridge?
The 900-page yield represents the typical number of pages this cartridge can print under standard testing conditions, based on industry standards like ISO/IEC 24711 or 24712. Actual yield may vary depending on factors like print density, coverage percentage, paper type, and printer settings. This high-yield cartridge is designed for cost-effective printing with fewer cartridge changes compared to standard-yield alternatives.
What are the benefits of the smudge-resistant and highlighter-resistant features?
The smudge-resistant formulation prevents ink from smearing when documents are handled shortly after printing, maintaining clean, professional appearance. The highlighter-resistant property allows documents to be marked with highlighters without causing the ink to bleed or smear, which is particularly valuable for documents that require annotation, review, or reference in business and educational settings.
Is this a genuine Canon product or a compatible alternative?
This is a genuine Canon Original Ink Cartridge, manufactured by Canon, Inc. It carries the Canon PGI-1200 XL model designation and part number 9196B001. Using genuine Canon cartridges ensures proper ink formulation, reliable performance, printhead protection, and maintains any applicable printer warranties, unlike third-party compatible alternatives.
What type of ink does this cartridge use, and how does it differ from dye-based ink?
This cartridge uses pigment-based ink, which consists of tiny color particles that sit on top of paper fibers rather than being absorbed like dye-based ink. Pigment ink provides better water resistance, fade resistance, and smudge resistance compared to dye-based alternatives. It delivers sharp text edges and is particularly suitable for business documents where durability and professional appearance are important.
How many cartridges come in this package, and is it sold individually or in multi-packs?
This product is packaged as a single unit (1 each), containing one Canon PGI-1200 XL Cyan Ink Cartridge. It's designed for individual replacement when the cyan cartridge in your compatible MAXIFY printer needs to be replaced. For users requiring multiple cartridges, they would need to purchase additional individual units or look for multi-pack options if available.
