Canon 5207B001 PG-240 Genuine Black Ink Cartridge

The Canon PG-240 is a genuine pigment black ink cartridge designed for use with a wide range of Canon PIXMA inkjet printers. Unlike dye-based inks that absorb into paper fibers, the PG-240's pigment-based formulation sits on top of the paper surface, producing sharper character edges and greater resistance to smudging and moisture. This makes it particularly well-suited for printing text documents, forms, and any output where readability and durability matter. Canon's FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) technology, which drives over 6,000 microscopic nozzles in the print head, ensures that each ink droplet is placed with high precision for clean, consistent output page after page.

The cartridge is compatible with 17 Canon PIXMA models spanning the MG, MX, and TS series, covering a broad range of home and small office printers. Installation is a straightforward swap with no software calibration required. At approximately 180 pages per cartridge under standard testing conditions, the PG-240 is a standard-yield cartridge best suited for light to moderate printing volumes. Users who print more regularly may find the PG-240XL high-yield alternative more cost-effective. As a genuine Canon product, the PG-240 is engineered to work in concert with the printer's ink delivery system, helping to maintain print head health and consistent output quality over the life of the printer.
