E-Z Ink Ink Cartridge 12-Pack

Canon PIXMA owners with one of the listed printer models may find this E-Z Ink set useful when several ink colors need replacing, not just black. It combines PGI-250XL pigment black with CLI-251XL black, cyan, magenta, yellow, and gray cartridges.

The pack contains 12 cartridges, with two of each listed type. That gives you spares across the full set rather than a single replacement color.

These are compatible replacement cartridges, not Canon-branded originals. The exact printer model matters, so match it against the compatibility list before ordering.

How to use it

Check that your printer is one of the listed PIXMA models and that it uses the PGI-250XL and CLI-251XL cartridge numbers. The set is designed to cover both black text and color printing, for example, it gives you the listed black and color cartridges for a work session that moves from document pages to charts or graphics.

You’ll appreciate it if you want a multi-color replacement set with extra cartridges on hand, especially if you use gray ink as part of your printing routine. Would a full set be more useful than buying only the color that just ran out? That depends on which cartridges your printer currently needs and how often you print.

One practical limitation: the page yields are estimates at 5% coverage of A4 paper, so pages with dense text, large graphics, or heavy color use may not match those figures. Also, compatibility is limited to the models named in the listing, don’t assume another Canon printer will accept these cartridges.

Pros

• Includes 12 cartridges: two each of PGBK 250XL, black 251XL, cyan, magenta, yellow, and gray.
• Covers both pigment black and the listed color cartridge types in one purchase.
• The listing includes a broad range of PIXMA models, including the MX922, IP8720, iX6820, and IP7220.
• Stated yields give a starting point for comparing the cartridge types, provided you keep the 5% coverage condition in mind.

It’s not for you if your printer model is missing from the compatibility list, or if you specifically want Canon-branded cartridges. The listing describes the ink as intended to produce crisp text and graphics, but it doesn’t provide independent print testing or information about performance on particular paper types.

Buying verdict

This set makes most sense when you own a listed PIXMA model and want replacements for multiple cartridge positions, including gray, in one package. The two-of-each mix can be more convenient than restocking one color at a time, but it also means you may end up with spare colors if your usage is uneven. Choose it for the stated cartridge numbers and model match, skip it if you need a different cartridge family or want original Canon ink.
