can this work with Canon PG-240? When I opened the ink box, it seems hard to recover the lid. How to make the lid stick to the box?

Do you mean you pried the lid off of the ink cartridge? If this is the case, maybe applying some clear, silicone caulking, and clamping it back on overnight will work. Other than that, always use a small instrument (like an eyeglasses screwdriver), heat up the philips head tip with a lighter, then poke it through the top of the ink cartridge lid. Poke it through very fast, and only enough to make the hole, as you do not want to melt the styrofoam sponge on the inside of the cartridge. Then, use a syringe to fill up the cartridge.

Yes, you should totally be able to refill pretty much any inkjet cartridges with this kit. Here's a quick youtube search using your model printer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHVQbGCBreA Basically, for all inkjet printer cartridges, you look up where you need to "drill" a small hole on top. That's where the new ink goes in, and then you just cover it up with something. I just used tape, but the way they did it on this video was pretty smooth. This kit does NOT include the tools for make a small hole or for covering it up. I just used a small drill bit I had (you can probably also use a really small screwdriver or even a metal pick) and then tape up the hole when you are done filling with ink. Inside the cartridge there is a small sponge that soaks up the ink, so it's important to not let these cartridges sit too long empty, otherwise you may not be able to refill them. Use the included syringe to draw up the ink out of the big bottle, then simply stick the syringe needle into the hole and start filling. Most cartridges can hold one full syringe of ink. If you broke open the ink cartridge....well, then, you may have to buy another one and start over with the drilling part. Or, maybe some krazy glue to put the cartridge back together. You do NOT need to break open the cartridges. Every cartridge is made to be refilled easily by the manufacturer - they just don't tell you where that is; you need to look it up. The youtube video should be enlightening. Good luck!

This cartridge ( the chip ) only works on certain machines. It is a replacement cartridge for a certain canon printer ( description says "PGI-220 CLI-221 Canon Pixma Canon iP3600 iP4600 iP4700 MP560 MP620 MP640 MX860 MP980 ink inkjet cartridges-4BK/4BK/4C/4M/4Y" )1. Is this the right replacement for your printer?2. If it is the correct cartridge, try another one of the cartridge ( if you bought more than 1 )3. Try to wipe the chip ( the little copper plate ) on the cartridge clean with a paper towel.succes

I've been cautioned against it by others who say that color photos don't print accurately and the cartridges may not communicate properly with the Canon software that monitors ink levels. But I admit I've never tried generic ink in my Canon printer. I wish I could be more help.

you want this one; http://www.amazon.com/Inktec-Pg-240xl-Cartridges-Printers-Pigment/dp/B0094J7QW8/ref=sr_1_1?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1378502066&sr=1-1&keywords=refill+kit+for+pg240 but since they're all basically just ink and come with a drill, any kit will do, but keep in mind that the instructions that come with it might not be compatible with your cartridge. Look on youtube for a simple tutorial on how to do it for your cartridge. Black is not the same as Y/C/M, YCM (Yellow Cyan Magenta) is the color ink cartridge (was that your question) They are all most likely dye-based inks, at this price.

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.

Not work for MG6320, Canon MG6320 should be used PGI-250/CLI-251 ink cartridges.

I have a Pixma MG6320 which uses the same ink. The Skia cartridges work fine. The one problem if you want to call it that, is that the canon print utility no longer shows how much ink is left when I check Supply Levels. I will find out if that matters when they run out.

PG 240xl purports to hold more ink. You won't get 100 pages out of either. Low cost printers usually have high ink costs. Canon's profit comes from selling ink.

Yes, it will work, but .... it works better with a few "modifications". First, cut the lid off the printer. This opens the printer up so the ink ribbon has room to move. Secondly, glue a small 2 inch block on top of the back wall of the cartridge well. This will hold the ink ribbon higher and allow it to move back and forth with no interference.

I buy cheap transparent tape (NOT magic tape, it's impossible to get off) and tape over the holes on my Canon cartridges. Then I type the date I refilled them on a sticky mailing label and put the label over the tape. When it comes time to refill, I can peel the whole thing off. No mess.

Apparently, Canon installs chips in the ink cartridges, in order to let you know the amount of ink left in them. I'm not sure about Canon, but in my old HP printer, if they passed the expiration date, the printer would not function unless they were replaced, even if still full. So, if you can find compatible ink, without chips, go for it!!!

I have a Canon Mg2220. It came with a 240 cartridge included. The xl only means that the cartridge will last longer. If your MG2100 came with a 240 cartridge, the 240xl should work fine.

Great info! Will you be stuck with low ink dialog box even if you go back to OEM ink cartridges?

I have the MG3222 printer and the Pixma 240 XL does not fit. The printer is not listed as one that can use this cartridge

Dear Neil,I have bought the ink tanks and found the product is wonderful. Don't worry about the ink door open, the Shopkeeper, Mr. C.J. Chen, will provide a rubber stopper to you. While, what you have to is just put it in the hole of the door where is the location of printer's sensor. By this way, the printer can realize the door is closed. So, it will work properly. I do not modify the printer. All I do is just replace the ink cartridges and lease the door open with the rubber stopper.

Yes it does, and don't use re-manufactured inks even though it's tempting though some people have had luck with them. I buy out of date HP 61 ink and they work with no problem, can find good deals on this. I do little printing as I have a dedicated Canon for photos.

No. it is only used with the printer listed as far as i know. If the PGI number on your ink cart matched the ones listed , then it might work. Still having great luck with these cartridges. no complaints.
