What Ink Does the Canon PIXMA TR4722 Use?

Quick answer: The Canon PIXMA TR4722 uses PG-275 pigment black and CL-276 tri-color ink, or the high-yield PG-275XL and CL-276XL. Castle Ink stocks the XL versions with free U.S. shipping and a one-year guarantee.

The TR4722 is a compact home all-in-one with a document feeder and fax.

Canon PIXMA TR4722 Ink Cartridges at a Glance

Why This Table Shows Millilitres, Not Pages

Because Canon does not publish an ISO page yield for PG-275 or CL-276 — only ink volume. Retailer figures for these cartridges range from about 100 pages to about 300 pages for the same product, which tells you those numbers are estimates rather than measurements. We would rather give you the figure Canon actually stands behind.

What the volumes do tell you clearly: XL is roughly double the ink for well under double the price. There is no scenario in which standard PG-275 or CL-276 is the better buy.

How tri-color cartridges work: cyan, magenta and yellow share one housing. When any single color runs out the whole cartridge is finished, even with ink left in the other two. If you mostly print text, setting the driver to black-only or greyscale is the cheapest change you can make.

These Are Small Tanks

Even the XL cartridges hold under 13 ml. Combined with a tri-color design, running costs on this printer are among the worst of any current model — which is the honest reason to run compatible cartridges rather than genuine at retail prices.

Is the PIXMA TR4722 Discontinued?

Canon lists the closely related TR4720 as no longer available and shows PG-275/PG-275XL as discontinued store items. Canon has not named a direct successor for the TR4722; the current equivalent line uses PG-285/CL-286, which do not fit this printer.
