Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ink suitable for printing photos?
While pigment ink can print photos, it is primarily optimized for sharp, durable text. Dye-based inks are typically preferred for producing the vibrant colors and smooth gradients found in professional photography.

What is the “PGBK” label?
“PGBK” stands for Pigment Black. Canon uses this designation to differentiate it from dye-based black inks (often labeled “BK”), specifically indicating its suitability for sharp document text rather than glossy photo blending

Can I use this in my Canon Pixma G2430?
Although you purchased a Canon Pixma G2430 in March 2026, the GI-40 series is not compatible with that model. The G2430 typically uses the GI-41 series ink bottles. Using the incorrect ink series can lead to poor output quality or potential mechanical issues
