Q Why do the Pixma MG-5250 Cartridges have 'With Chip' or 'Fully Chipped' written in your website description or on the box?
Q I'm interested in purchasing your compatible Canon MG5250 ink cartridges. How do they compare to the Genuine OEM inks?
Q I received 2 different Black cartridges in my multipack but I only ever need to change the wider 'PGI-525'. Why is this?
Our MG5250 ink multipacks do indeed contain both a PGI-525BK and a CLI-526BK cartridge.
The PGI-525 Black is a larger capacity than all of the other cartridges and is used in general printing and text documents. Especially handy when requiring crisp, sharp text documents. The CLI-526 Black is used mainly in photo printing to improve the richness of the finished print and is sometimes referred to as a Photo Black.
Depending on your usage, you may have a requirement for more of one cartridge than the other. For this reason, we sell all cartridges individually so it may be a good idea to stock up next time you order.
Q This is the first time I've had to replace my Canon Pixma 5250 ink cartridges, what is the recommended way to install them?
Cartridges for the Canon Pixma 5250 Printer have an outer plastic wrapper that needs to be removed first and foremost. The second step is to remove the plastic tear off strip from the spine of the cartridge to release the airlock present inside the ink chamber. It is usually Yellow and has the word 'Pull' or similar marked on it. After that has been removed it is then safe to remove the plastic nozzle cover, that is usually Orange in colour.
Q My Canon MG5250 inkjet cartridges cartridges have arrived damaged, what should I do next?
We never recommend installing any cartridge if it appears to be damaged or leaking in any way. All items are tested during the manufacturing process and we package all orders carefully to avoid damage. Unfortunately on very rare occasions the package can arrive damaged if it has been mishandled or agitated during transit. If a cartridge looks like it may have leaked on arrival, please do not open it or attempt to install in your printer. Contact us and we'll be happy to arrange a replacement immediately!
