Chips, Printer Messages & Installation
Installing: with the printer on, open the front or top cover and wait for the cartridge holder to stop. Push the old cartridge down (or lift the lock lever) and remove it. Take the protective tape off the new cartridge without touching the nozzles or contacts, slide it into the holder (black on the right, color on the left) and push up until it clicks. Close the cover.
Ink level messages: the printer may say the remaining ink level cannot be detected. Press and hold the Stop/Resume button for about 5 seconds to keep printing; the low-ink warning is turned off for that cartridge only.
Streaks or missing colors: run a nozzle check and cleaning from the printer's maintenance menu. The printhead is built into these cartridges, so if streaks remain after two cleanings the cartridge is the likely cause.

Remanufactured vs. Compatible vs. Original
Original (OEM) cartridges are new from the printer brand and cost the most. Remanufactured cartridges, like this one, start as genuine original shells (including the original chip) that are cleaned, refilled with high-quality ink and print-tested, so they fit and communicate like the original at a fraction of the price. Compatible cartridges are built new by a third party with their own chip. Castle Ink sells remanufactured inkjet cartridges and compatible (newly manufactured) toner.

Canon PG-245XL Black (8278B001); Canon CL-246XL Color (8280B001).
Can I buy the cartridges separately?
Yes. Replace each one as it runs out.
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.
