Canon Ink Cartridges: PG (Black) & CL (Colour) Explained
Canon uses a simple naming system for its inkjet cartridges:
- PG = Pigment black ink (sharp, smudge-resistant text)
- CL = Colour ink (cyan, magenta, yellow combined in one cartridge)
- XL = High yield (more pages per cartridge)
Always replace black and colour cartridges as a pair for best results.
