Common Questions about Canon TR4522 Ink

What ink does a Canon TR4522 use?

The PIXMA TR4522 uses Canon PG-243 or PG-245 black and CL-244 or CL-246 tricolor ink cartridges built to work with your printer's FINE printing technology to deliver excellent image quality. FINE means Full-Photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Enginering. Both PG-245 and CL-246 come in high yield sizes: 245XL (8278B001AA) and 246XL (8280B001AA). LD's aftermarket cartridges are tested to ensure it produces the same print results as original Canon ink.

Are the cartridges pigment-based or dye-based?

The PG-245 black contains pigment-based ink for long-lasting blacks on text documents. The CL-246 contains Canon's ChromaLife formulation which is dye-based ink for more brilliantly colored prints. Aftermarket PG-245 and CL-246 follow the same formulation as their OEM counterparts and have been tested to produce the same print quality.

The PIXMA TR4522 initially comes with PG-243 black and CL-244 tricolor ink cartridges. These cartridges contain less ink than the PG-245 and CL-246.

How do I change the ink in my Canon TR4522 printer?

1. Make sure your PIXMA TR4522 printer is on.
2. Open the front cover of your printer. This will also pull down the paper output tray. There will be another door over the paper tray. Pull that down too. This will expose the printhead holding the ink cartridges.
3. Don't try to stop the cartridges while it's moving. Allow it to move to replacement position by itself.
4. Note: The printhead might move and the lamp might light up if the innder door over the paper tray is left open for 10 minutes or more. To fix this, close and then reopen the inner door.
5. Release the empty cartridge by pushing down on it. You should feel a little click. This would mean the cartridge is unlatched.
6. Pull out the empty cartridge.
7. Remove any packaging from the new cartridge. Gently remove the protective tape.
8. Be sure not to touch the contacts or ink nozzles. This can result in ink or printer errors.
9. Slide new cartridge into the slot vacated by the empty cartridge. You might need to insert it at a slanted angle. If you're replacing black, the black cartridge goes on the right and the color cartridge is on the left.
10. Make sure you insert the cartridge carefully that it doesn't touch the contacts on the other end of the slot.
11. Gently push the cartridge in and up until it clicks into place.
12. You'll know that the cartridge is installed properly if the two cartridges are lined up with each other.
13. Close the inner door so the printhead and cartridges are no longer exposed.
14. Wait for your printer to recognize the cartridge.
