What are the differences between the Canon PG 240XL and Canon PG 240 Non-XL? I've read comments that the XL version has more ink than the Non XL but both ink cartridges are same size? o.O

The only advice I can give to you, is to go to the original "Canon" site where they may sell printers & type the words: Canon MP610 All in One printer, & then hopefully find out if the "Canon PG-210XL" cartridge will work with that particular printer. I hope you find this helpful. Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

YES. The XL is for "extra long." The cartridge is the same, just lasts 4x as long, and is a much better deal on money spent. There are 122 color and black, and 122XL color and black.

I have a Canon PIXMA 922 that uses these ink cartridges: CLI-251 Black (reg or XL), CLI-251 Magenta (reg or XL), CLI-251 Yellow (reg or XL), CLI-251 Cyan (reg or XL)--must use all regular or all XL ...plus PGI-250 Black (PGBK 250 is the larger black cartridge) -- can opt to use regular or XL independent of the other 4 cartridges. Note that the XL cartridges hold more ink and are more cost-effective.

Per Canon website, the page yield for the three PG-240 cartridge: PG-240 = 180 pages, PG-240XL = 300 pages, PG-240XXL = 600 pages.

Just so you know, the MX522 printer takes 240 (Black) and 241(Color) ink. The difference between regular and XL is the volume of ink in the cartridge. There is savings in the larger cartridges but it is not dramatic and if your usage is low, there is a chance the head will clog with dry ink. I don't really know how to make the decision on cartridge size. The ones shipped with the printer are too small so I am going with XL this time around.

What type of Cannon printer do you have? I have a Cannon Pixma and can only use the Cannon CL241 for color and the black ink is: PG 240. I have found through my own experience that I cannot use other cartridges and unfortunately most stores do not carry those. I have to order them online and find the best price through Amazon. They are generally pretty good about shipping out quickly and these cartridges are not like HP where you get down 3/4 of the way and will no longer work. These cartridges from Cannon that I use will literally use every last drop and show as if they are completely empty... yet keep on printing. What type of Cannon printer do you have?

XL indicates that there is more volume of ink in the cartride than the ones that do not have the xl (extra large)imprinted on the cartridge. I don't know how much more, but they will print more documents with the xl models than with out. Gary

The XL version has more ink. Unfortunately I received color cartridges did not work. And I attempted to get a return/refund, but the date I found out was too late to get any help.

I checked on-line and it showed that the XL package had the larger volume (13ml vs 7ml) in each of the color cartridges. I purchased a Canon 5pk and only the 250pgbk was xl the other cartridges were all standard 7ml each. So, my advice is when you purchase the combo read the side panel and see that they are indeed all XL size. Good Luck....

Hello Roxanna, my printer is a Canon Pixma MX420 and it too uses the 210XL and 211XL cartridges. The re-manufactured ink cartridges (PG210XL and CL211XL) fit in the printer but do not work well. The black was OK but a little light. When I installed the color cartridge it did not work at all. Then when I tried to print using gray scale it did not work but was part black, part blue and not complete printing. I have since returned to the original Canon cartridges which work well. The re-manufactured cartridges are lower cost, but their quality makes them worthless. I would not recommend purchasing these re-manufactured cartridges for your Canon printer................ Ken

I'm not able to answer that question. I thought I ordered the 30 XL and ended up with this one. It's not what I needed for my printer. I was unable to return it.

It is how many pages the ink will print before it runs out. PG240xxl will print more than the PG240xl. I've had both inks, and I have to say that PG240xxl does really print more.

I have never measured how many pages I can print with a cartridge. The XL cartridge is supposed to print more pages than Standard but the cartridge itself is exactly the same size. Perhaps if the cartridge was transparent you could put the two next to each other and see if one has more ink than the other. I do know that I have to clean the printer heads from time to time and that uses a huge amount of ink. Since the XL cartridge costs more it may not be any more cost effective than Standard. You just might not have to replace them as often.

the PG 240 XL would give you a more sharp resolution, would recommend it! (:

To the best of my knowledge, you can not take the 200 Cartridge in and have the ink refilled but you can with the 200 XL. I recently purchased a 200 XL and I can not see the difference in the print quality.

I thought of this too because the 2 regular ones are cheaper than a single XL. What I want to know is the ink capacity of both cartridges?
