How do I know if my Canon Printer has a SPONGELESS cartridge? I just purchased the Canon Pixma MG5420 and would like to order your refills. Thanks!

So far I don't see any company provide SPONGELESS for MG5420, even OEM Canon - still using SPONGE CARTRIDGE.

Hmm. If it's a genuine cartridge then half will be ink only and the other half will have the sponge which acts as a filter as well as a holder. The sponge area will be directly under the aperture where the ink comes out. It will take up approximately half the area of the cartridge

Hi.... My printer is an MG5320 and the refills work fine. My suggestion would be to email Canon, and ask their customer service if your 5420 has spongeless cartridges. I got my original edible ink cartridges from KopyKake, kept the original printer cartridges wrapped and stored. When I needed to refill my KopyKake cartridges, I ordered these refill from Amazon. They're great!

A new printer usually comes with a 'spongeless cartridge'. Check the cartridge it self if you can see only the ink through it, it means it does not have a sponge, if you see some kind of white background with the ink it means it has a sponge. I hope this can help you.

It's my understanding that Canon printers will not recognize refilled cartridges. In fact, I know it, because I tried the same thing. You are stuck with them and will have to purchase Canon inks. Where did you get them and did they represent them as working with Canon? Oh, and by the way, my Pixma 450 went to the recycler over a year ago. Currently using HP 3510.

Hi, According to Cannon, these are the printers that use the Canon CL-241XL: PIXMA MG2120 PIXMA MG2120 W/PP-201 PIXMA MG2220 PIXMA MG2220 with PP-201 PIXMA MG3120 PIXMA MG3120 W/PP-201 PIXMA MG3122 PIXMA MG3220 Wireless PIXMA MG3220 Wireless Refurbished PIXMA MG3222 PIXMA MG3520 Black Refurbished PIXMA MG3520 Black Wireless PIXMA MG3520 Red Wireless PIXMA MG3520 White Refurbished PIXMA MG3520 White Wireless PIXMA MG4120 PIXMA MG4220 Wireless PIXMA MX372 PIXMA MX392 PIXMA MX392 Refurbished PIXMA MX432 Wireless PIXMA MX432 Wireless Refurbished PIXMA MX439 PIXMA MX439 Refurbished PIXMA MX452 PIXMA MX452 Refurbished PIXMA MX459 PIXMA MX459 Refurbished PIXMA MX472 PIXMA MX512 PIXMA MX512 Refurbished PIXMA MX512 W/PP-201 Wireless PIXMA MX522 PIXMA MX522 Refurbished PIXMA MX532 Or did you mean your printer is a Canon MG3220? If so, then the ink will work with it, but I cannot find any reference to a Cannon 3200 all in one machine.

I've been refilling my ink cartridges and had three different kinds of experiences with the same printer. 1) If you keep an ink tank topped off, it doesn't seem to know you've been adding ink and behaves rather well. 2) If you fill a tank just before it goes empty, the printer gets confused. The "gas gage" for that tank says the "tank may have run out", but it shows that you added ink. 3) If you wait until a tank runs dry and then fill it, the printer won't use the ink until you accept the fact that you are voiding the warranty. Apparently, the printer then remembers that the waranty has been voided, and it no longer tracks the ink level for that tank. I used to be an engineering manager at HP's inkjet division. Don't be afraid to refill tanks. It only takes a few refills to save enough money to buy your next printer. (Be sure to use Canon compatible ink. They are easy to find on the web.)

No this cartridge is not made for the mg2520. The cartridge that you are looking for is the PG-245 or the PG-245XL (I believe this has a larger capacity of ink). Please check your owners manual or Canon's website for more information. Do not just take my word for it.I'm a tech sort of person, but I am not a Canon Rep or a Canon Tech.

I'm sorry, but I'm still using the ink cartridges that came with the printer. That said, my experience with refilling cartridges for a Pixma mp500 was way more trouble than it was worth. Canon makes it too difficult to out smart it. You are better off buying equivalent cartridges from amazon at a discount that are ready to go.

What type of Cannon printer do you have? I have a Cannon Pixma and can only use the Cannon CL241 for color and the black ink is: PG 240. I have found through my own experience that I cannot use other cartridges and unfortunately most stores do not carry those. I have to order them online and find the best price through Amazon. They are generally pretty good about shipping out quickly and these cartridges are not like HP where you get down 3/4 of the way and will no longer work. These cartridges from Cannon that I use will literally use every last drop and show as if they are completely empty... yet keep on printing. What type of Cannon printer do you have?

I an not sure about the sponge part, however the refills will give u about 5 top ups. Except the black if u have 2 black cartridges 1 large and 1 small then obviously the black won't last as long. Hope this helps

Funny! No but the previous "used" cartridges I have used in the past didn't produce as many prints as the original, but I paid for "new" cartridges not used and I wasn't made aware of the fact . Besides that wasn't a very professional question to ask a customer but obviously you don't care.

All cartridges can be refilled, but the problem I always run into is it leaks. Also, not all of these cartridges were seen by my canon MP5420 printer

Try to reset printer holding g down reset button. Canon printer are notorious for not accepting refilled cartridges so you have to reset. Your or I get ink levels will most likely always show empty or low but keeping track of usage will help you with k Wii g when to really refill r order New cartridge

I have the Canon Pixma MP210. so I don't know what the big difference would be. I have excellent results with the ink cartridges 30 & 31. Maybe they were not inserted properly. Try again.

Canon wants the used cartridges back, so it is my bet that you won't know about that status of any individual cartridge. It goes out with new specs, whether used or new.

The OEM is best to use. That being said I've tried compatible cartridges. Usually it is great, same quality, less cost. However there was a compatible that worked fine but left what looked like a very fine airbrush type mist throughout the sheet. It was not noticeable from a few feet but at reading range became apparent that it was not a clean printout. Hope that helps. I was able to return that cartridge and decided to try refilling the Canon cartridge which worked great.

Having trouble comprehending your question? With this Canon series printer, you have five cartridges. The two black cartridges, PGBK 250 and BK 251 are the most used ones. I'm actually about to reorder black cartridges. Hope this answers your query.

as i have stated before, they seem to be as good as oem equip. for a pixma 922 i think they are better than the canon ones!!i find that all of the cartridge printers i have used tend to clog far too frequently - that is canon (2 types) and HP (2 types). in all cases, it is fairly simple to do the clean process regardless of the printer.i have never had a leakage problems with any of the printer - cartridge combos that i have owned.
