Should I turn off my Canon Pixma printer when not in use?

To keep your printer lasting longer, we recommend leaving your printer on. If it is off for a long period of time or if you turn it on and off again regularly, the printhead inside the printer will dry out faster. When you leave it on, you may hear the printer start up every once in a while and begin to calibrate.

Printing on 5% = 480 pages (the official page yield). Printing on 10% = 240 pages. Printing on 20% = 120 pages. Printing on 40% = 60 pages.

Can I use other ink in my Canon printer?

In short, no! Printers need specific cartridges to work, which is why we have clear listings across the website for what ink works in any printer. You cannot just use any model/brand cartridge in a printer, even if they look the same.

Can a Canon Pixma print from the phone?

Enable Canon Print Service on smartphone or tablet. On devices running Android 7.0 or later, Canon Print Service will be enabled automatically after installation. Open a web page or e-mail in a smartphone app, and then perform an operation for printing.

What image quality is best for printing?

In many cases, the best resolution for printing is 300 PPI. At 300 pixels per inch (which roughly translates to 300 DPI, or dots per inch, on a printing press), an image will appear sharp and crisp. These are considered to be high- resolution, or high-res, images.

Does Canon Pixma ink dry out?

Ink cartridges can dry out over time. If they are sitting in your machine for an extended period, they will eventually dry up and become unusable. The simplest way to combat this problem is by printing more frequently or running regular cleans and ink tests to ensure the nozzles remain clean.
