Does this cartridge include all colors or just magenta?

This package contains only the magenta ink cartridge. You will need to purchase the other color cartridges (cyan, yellow, black) separately or as part of a multi-pack.

Canon recommends using genuine Canon ink for optimal print quality, reliability, and access to Canon's Creative Park Premium content. Third-party inks may affect print quality and could potentially void your printer warranty.
