Is one of the black ink cartridges "pigment black," as in the Canon ink set? It's not clear from the descriptions "black" and "large black."

The large black cartridge is the PGI-250XL, and the smaller black cartridge is the CLI-251XL photo black cartridge. I hope this was helpful. Please let us know if there is anything else that we can do for you. Thank you

Hi J.Young. No, the printer only has one black ink hole. I didn't know about the different black inks at the time I wrote that, but I know now. I have one photo black ink and will try it in the printer when my regular black ink runs out, but don't think it will work. Thanks for the reply. Ken

I did a little research on the cannon website. This is the ink that your printer can use. PGI-255 PGBK XXL XXL Pigment Black PGI-250 PGBK XL XL Pigment Black CLI-251 C XL XL Cyan CLI-251 M XL XL Magenta CLI-251 Y XL XL Yellow CLI-251 BK XL XL Black PGI-250 PGBK Pigment Black CLI-251 C Cyan CLI-251 M Magenta CLI-251 Y Yellow CLI-251 BK Black So, it seems the large black is a match but I am not sure about the color ink.

I'm not sure what that means, but the cartridges fit my Canon Pixma photo printer and the color is great and the price can not be beat.

Yes i have been using them a while now. The black isnt a deep black. But its black enough. The ink is good for everyday printing. Dont expect photo quality prints. The color is a bit lighter

I am pretty sure the thick black ink cartridges come with the set (PGI-220BK). I am extremely pleased with the cartridges as they are inexpensive and work perfectly.

These guys did the taping over and/or using-a-black-marker trick on their ink jet cartridges. Hmmmm...., wonder if this would work on the Canon? (www).theblog.ca/brother-printer-colour-requirement

Are you asking to know the cartridges can be used for your printer or they are good in quality ??? In both cases , Yes ! Canon PIXMA 5400 is using the same cartridge numbers ! 250 big black and 3 color cartridges and one 251 black ! The quality of the cartridges are very good !

Mine work fine. Let me verify... Yes I am on my second black. Truth be told I feel like I'm getting about 50-75% of the ink of OEM but for the price It works. Sorry to hear that you've had trouble. Do a head cleaning with an old cart. Hope this helped. Tommy :)

A lot of the suppliers of ink packs have pigment black instead of dye black. You can't trust the pictures, the bottles look different and are from various places, mine said 'fresh ink jets com' on them. My own ink order had "premium pigment based universal ink" 4 oz for the black, and I haven't noticed any difference on the paper. I think the refillable ARC cart had dye ink in originally too but I'm not sure (Non-oem Ink Cartridges for Epson NX400 NX100 NX200 NX300 NX305 NX415 NX115 NX215 NX415 NX515 NX105 WORKFORCE 600 610 40 500 CX7400 CX8400 CX9400 Cx5000 CX6000 CX7000Printer 69) The black seems okay with this pigment ink instead of dye (or whatever it was) but I've only filled it once from the original so long-term who knows.

No, it is a black cartridge. It is for certain Brother monochrome laser printers.

Thank you for your email.According to HP documentation for this printer, The ink types are "Pigment-based black, dye-based color".Regards,DAVTECH Computer Center

Don't know-dye or pigment. Aren't they the same thing? A pigment gives a dye it's color. Anyhow, these work great. I bought the 100 ml bottles kit with the cartridge reset device..it works every time. 600 ml is a lot of ink. I think my 100 ml bottles will keep my Cannon printer going for years. Great quality print. Pick a place outside the home to do the refills...can get messy. But again..beautiful color.

I am sorry that I never saw this question. I did not have any problem with these cartridges. However, I have tons of problems with my Canon printer and would love to chunk it against a wall and buy a new one.

So has anyone figured out whether this brand uses the proper pigment-based ink in the text-only cartridges? Considering buying new ink soon for my printer.

Well, I bought the 5-piece set, not the 12-piece. But the ink in mine is black. Hope that's of some help.

Sorry, don't know what else it could be. Just make sure you've replaced the correct black cartridge. I think the smaller one is the photo ink and the large is regular text...which always empties the fastest for me. I had a Brother printer that would take compatible color ink but would only accept genuine brother ink in black. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
