Why do they have 2 sizes of Black 226 Small and a Canon PGI-225 BK , Is there a setting on my Cannon printer to choose black only ?

David, The way I understand it is that one is "pigment black" and the other is "photo black". I guess one works better for photos. I rarely print photos but both black cartridges seem to get used.

nope....it's just the model it is .... it's a Cannon Pixma MG 5220. Uses a 4 pak of #226 assorted colors (one of which is black) and 1 #225 Black which is maybe double the width of the 226's. That's as deep as my knowledge goes on this. I'm sorry....I misunderstood your question. There is a setting to print with just black, not color.

Well in my printer, there is a slot for picture black and plain black. Apparently, both are needed to create an effective black color. I also have a button option that says "black" and one that says "color".

When you get ready to print, go to settings, select quality, choose draft black, then when you select the number of copies, press black, for black print only.Hope this makes sense.

I have a Canon Pixma MG7120. There are 6 slots altogether. Looking left to right, mine are BK, GY, Y, PGBK, C, & M. If you have the same model then the gray would be second from the left (GY position).

I've pondered this for quite a while, myself. Your question moved me to finally figure it out. First, I checked the instructions I received with the printer. No good. Then, I did a Google search and I found the answer on Canon Community Website: http://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Personal-Printers/PIXMA-MX882-questions/td-p/60395. In case the link doesn't come through, the answer is: To use only the Pigment Black or large black ink tank, the following settings must be used: 1. The original text must be black. 2. The paper setting must be set to Plain Paper. 3. The Duplex printing option must be disabled. 4. The Grayscale printing feature must be disabled.

The Canon Ink tank PGI-250 XL is the same as the standard PGBK EXCEPT is has a larger capacity, i.e. ink supply and I am currently using the black, grey, and whatever XL version I can get my hands on so as not having to replace the ink tanks as often. Let the force be with you. My printer is a Canon MG7120 of the 7100 series.

Y'all need to read the documentation that Canon provides with the MX922. 250 and 255 cartridges have a different ink formulation and are intended for different purposes than 251 cartridges, which are made for graphics and photos only. 250 and 255 cartridges are made to print black text only. 250 and 255 cartridges are interchangeable. 251 cartridges are not interchangeable with the other two types. Placing cartridges in the wrong slots will damage your printer.

Some say yes and some say no. I too would like to know because my printer (HP 7520) has both a black ink cartridge and a photo ink cartridge. Those who said yes - does this mean you used the regular black in your photo black cartridge?

Well, I'm confused because Amazon suggests buying cartridges PGI 5 and BLI 8 with this, but Canon says these are the *wrong* cartridges and that you need Cannon CLI 221 and PGI 220. I bought Amazon's bundle and now I have to return the extra cartridges. Does anyone know for sure that they're not compatible? Or is Canon just trying to sell a new labelled type?

Hello No your printer MG2200 need PG 240 as black and CL 241 as color, please check this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BF6K8WI http://www.amazon.com/ECO-INK-Remanufactured-PG-240XL-240/dp/B00BF6IJLK/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A3I9SIF8XJIQY9 Great day SAM

I have now used 1 full black and started a 2nd and it all comes out as true black. If someone is having that problem it's most likely because they have their printer set wrong. If you try to print in black but the cartridge is empty or not installed correctly the printer tries to make the black using the color ink.

The large black cartridge is the PGI-250XL, and the smaller black cartridge is the CLI-251XL photo black cartridge. I hope this was helpful. Please let us know if there is anything else that we can do for you. Thank you

I take it to kinkos and it prints in black or white or color. Depends what kind of printer you have

Canon PG 50 &51. I set mine to monochrome and just print in black with a generic PG50 cartridge that costs about 20% of what Canon cartridges cost. I've been doing it for ten years without a single problem.

I have not run across this problem yet, but I believe if you print in black you should still be able to print without replacing the color that has run out. Hope this helps.

To J. Cunningham: I am not certain, but I would guess that the PGBK cartridge may only be for printing black on the Photo Glossy print setting and the BK cartridge is used for standard print settings.

I presume you mean the PGI 220, which is the larger black cartridge. Each set includes one PGI220(BK) and one each of the PGI221-sisized cartridge in BK, Y, C, M.
