The Canon PG-445 Black Ink Cartridge is a reliable, high-quality solution for everyday printing. Specifically designed for the Canon PIXMA "MG" and "MX" series, this cartridge uses a specialized pigment-based ink formula to deliver crisp, smudge-resistant text that looks professional on standard office paper.

Key Features

Pigment Black Ink: Unlike dye-based inks, this pigment formula ensures deep blacks and sharp edges, making it ideal for business documents, school essays, and reports.
FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) Technology: Canon’s proprietary print head technology provides exceptional sharpness and detail in every drop.
Reliability: Genuine Canon cartridges are engineered to prevent clogging and damage to the print head, extending the life of your printer.
Smudge & Highlighter Resistant: The ink dries quickly and is less likely to bleed when using a highlighter or if the paper gets slightly damp.

Why Choose Genuine Canon?

While third-party inks might seem cheaper upfront, using the PG-445 ensures consistent color accuracy and prevents "banding" (streaks on the page). It also integrates perfectly with your printer’s software to provide accurate low-ink alerts, so you aren’t caught off guard mid-print.

Pro Tip: if you have a high print volume, look for the PG-445XL version. It fits the same slot but offers a significantly higher page yield for a lower cost-per-page.
