Skyink Ink Cartridges 245XL

Technical details

For Canon printer owners who want a black cartridge replacement in a two-pack, this Skyink set is listed as a compatible PG-245 XL option. It is a third-party product, not an OEM cartridge, so the main buying decision is whether your printer appears on the compatibility list and you are comfortable using a replacement rather than Canon-branded ink.

Each cartridge is rated for 500 pages, and the listing says the cartridges contain 1.5 times more ink than the original. Treat that as the stated capacity claim, not a guarantee of the same number of pages in every home: print content and settings can affect how quickly ink runs out. The cartridges also have upgraded chips, according to the maker, these are intended to support compatibility.

What it works with

The listed Canon models include the TR4520, TR4522, TR4527, TR4500, TS202, TS302, TS3100, TS3120, TS3122, TS3129, TS3300, TS3320, TS3322, MG2420, MG2520, MG2522, MG2525, MG2555, MG2920, MG2922, MG2924, MG3020, MG3022, MG3029, iP2820, MX490, and MX492. The product name also mentions MX490, TR4520, TS3322, TR4522, TR4500, TS3122, TS3300, MX492, MG2522, TS3320, and TS3100.

That is a broad list, but printer families can have different cartridge requirements. Match your exact model and the PG-245 XL designation before ordering rather than relying on a similar-looking model number. The listing identifies this as a PG-245 XL replacement, it does not provide a separate installation guide or further printer-specific details.

Usage tips

Before opening the pack, check the model number on your printer and compare it with the list above. This is especially useful if the printer name includes a suffix or belongs to a family with several versions. When the current black cartridge runs low, having the second cartridge on hand gives you a replacement for a later change without needing to buy another immediately.

For example, if you use a listed MX or TS printer for occasional black-and-white documents, the two-pack lets you keep a spare ready for the next time a cartridge runs out. If you print frequently or rely on color, note that this listing is specifically for black ink, it does not describe a color cartridge or include information about color printing supplies.

Practical doubts

How many cartridges are included? The package contains two black PG-245 XL replacement cartridges.

Is this a Canon OEM cartridge? No. The listing explicitly describes it as a compatible replacement, not an OEM product.

Does it fit every Canon printer? No universal fit is claimed. Use the listed model names to check your exact printer before choosing it.

When it makes sense

It suits you if you own one of the listed printers, need black ink, and prefer having a spare cartridge in the same purchase. The stated 500-page yield per cartridge may also help you estimate how often you will need a replacement, though your actual results depend on what you print.

It might not be a great match if you only want Canon OEM supplies, need color ink, or cannot confirm your printer model against the compatibility list. Compared with buying a manufacturer-branded cartridge, this is the compatible-replacement route, the tradeoff is that the product is not OEM and its listing offers limited detail beyond the stated yield, chip, and supported models.
