New Compatible Canon PGI-225BK Ink Cartridge Instructional Video Instructions

A how-to video for the compatible PGI-225BK ink cartridge, which replaces the original OEM Canon cartridge.

New Compatible Canon PGI-225BK Ink Cartridge Instructional Video Transcript

The new compatible PGI-225BK ink cartridge is the larger black supply in a 5-cartridge system, and includes pigment-based ink for deeper blacks. This makes it essential for high-quality photos, and it is rated for up to 340 pages of output, based on 5% page coverage.

Prepare your replacement PGI-225BK cartridge by taking it out of the box and carefully opening and removing the plastic bag. Find the shipping tape at the top of the cartridge and pull it away from the cartridge to remove it completely. Note that you will need to pry the small handle away from the orange plastic protector as well before you can install the cartridge.

Return to the printer and make sure it is powered on and that the paper tray is open. Place a hand inside the paper tray opening and lift up on the printer’s top cover. The cover will stay open by itself, and the carriage containing the cartridges will move to the center. Find the cartridge marked “PGBK” and note that it is the larger of the two black cartridges. Bend its small handle backward to release it. You can then lift the cartridge out.

Install the new compatible PGI-225BK cartridge by sliding it into the opening with the front at a downward angle. You can then press on the top of the cartridge until it is seated firmly and clicks into place. Lower the printer’s top cover slowly and you are ready to resume printing.

The PGI-225BK cartridge is compatible with several Canon models, starting with photo inkjet models like the iP4820 and iP4920 series. It is also used in the iX6520 and iX6550 inkjet printer models. Conveniently, the cartridge works with all-in-one models as well, such as the MG5120 through MG8220 series, and the MX712 through MX892 series.

For a complete list of PGI-225BK compatible printers, see the “Fits Printer Models” tab.

You can't tell the difference between this ink cartridge and the name brand Canon except for the price. The print quality is identical and so is the ink quantity. This is by far the most economical way to buy ink.

I've been using the Ink Technologies cartridges for my Canon MG6220 and couldn't be happier with the price and performance. We don't use our printer to print photos but documents and brochures for our small business turn-out great. I also appreciate the recycling program. I recommend this product for anyone looking to save a lot of money.

Difference between Compatible, Remanufactured, and OEM Products

OEM (brand name) cartridges are provided by the manufacturer of the printer, such as HP, Dell or Brother. Pricing for brand name cartridges is frequently much higher than for non-brand cartridges, typically ranging from 2–5 times higher.

Compatible cartridges are made from brand new components, provided by a non-OEM manufacturer.

Remanufactured cartridges are refurbished OEM cartridges that have been inspected, repaired, cleaned and refilled.

Compatible and remanufactured cartridges both have color and page yield comparable to the brand name product at typically much lower cost, and are backed by our 6-month quality guarantee and 1 year defect warranty.

Please see our blog article for more info (opens in new window).

Warranty for Compatible/Remanufactured Products

Based on our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, Ink Technologies will accept returns of compatible or remanufactured ink and toner cartridges for full credit if the returned product has a valid return authorization number and is received in our warehouse within 6 months of the original shipping date. If there is a confirmed print quality issue, only 1 set of opened products will be accepted for credit returns, and only if less than 30% of the ink or toner has been used.

Ink Technologies will replace defective compatible or remanufactured products free of charge if the products are returned within 1 year of the original ship date, and provide a return shipping tag for return of the product.
