Installation & Troubleshooting
Installing: open the printer's cover until the print head holder moves to the replacement position. Press the tab on the empty tank and lift it out. Take the new tank out of its bag, twist or pull off the orange protective cap without touching the ink outlet, set it into the slot that matches its color and press down on the top until it clicks into place. Close the cover.
"Cartridge not recognized" or an ink-level warning: take the cartridge out, wipe the contacts with a dry lint-free cloth, make sure all tape is off and reseat it until it clicks. If the printer warns that the ink level can't be detected, confirm the prompt to keep printing.
Streaks or missing colors: run the nozzle check and print-head cleaning from the printer's maintenance menu, then print a test page.

Remanufactured vs. Compatible vs. Original
Original (OEM) supplies are new from the printer brand and cost the most. Remanufactured supplies, like this one, start as genuine original cartridges or tanks that are cleaned, refilled and tested, so they fit and communicate like the original at a fraction of the price. Compatible supplies are built new by a third party. Castle Ink sells remanufactured inkjet cartridges and compatible toner.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much ink does the Canon CLI-221 Gray hold?
9 ml, the same capacity as the original CLI-221GY.
Which printers does it fit?
PIXMA MP980 and PIXMA MP990. See the full list above, or check our Find Ink by Printer page.
Will this void my printer warranty?
No. Under the U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer can't void your printer warranty just because you used a third-party or remanufactured supply. If a non-original supply directly caused damage, that specific repair might not be covered.
How long can I store it?
Store it sealed, at room temperature and out of direct sunlight, and use it within about 24 months for best results. Once opened, install it promptly.
When will my order ship?
Orders placed by 4 PM ET, Monday through Friday, ship the same business day from Long Island, NY, by USPS (2–5 business days). Expedited 1–2 day delivery is available at checkout, and shipping is free on orders over $50.
