We are proud of our own-brand cartridges, so we’ve made trying them a no-brainer. If within three years of purchase you have any problem whatsoever, we’ll happily offer either a replacement or a refund.
Returning items is easy—it takes just a few minutes. But our return rate is very low, so you’ll be unlikely to need it.
We are confident that no other own-brand cartridges are better than ours. They produce vibrant prints with accurate colour densities and dark blacks—and their page yields are as good as the genuines, if not better. Give them a try, and see why our customers love them.
Our own-brand cartridges are incredibly reliable for three reasons:
1. We are the UK’s biggest seller of own-brand cartridges, and we have invested a lot in optimising them.
2. We are dedicated to quality. Every own-brand cartridge is performance-tested before it leaves the factory.
3. We constantly monitor customer feedback, and quickly resolve any issues.
Our cartridges won't damage your printer—guaranteed
Some people worry that own-brand cartridges might damage their printers. We know from experience that ours don’t.
To reassure you, we guarantee that we’ll repair or replace your printer—for free—in the unlikely event that it gets damaged by an own-brand cartridge. This is regardless of how old your printer is. We can afford to offer this because problems are almost unheard of.
Some people whose printers are less than a year old worry that an own-brand cartridge might invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. This isn’t true. By law, the manufacturers aren’t allowed to invalidate your warranty if you use own-brand cartridges. If something does go wrong, and our own-brand cartridges are to blame, we’ll take over the manufacturer’s warranty, offer you phone support and repair or replace your printer if needed.
In summary, there’s zero risk in using our own-brand cartridges.

ink cartridges
Hi Karen, thank you for your question. Unfortunately we do not stock ink cartridges for the Canon PIXMA MG3520 Color Printer at this time.
Answered by Donna Salt (Staff Member) - about 2 years ago
My original cartridges are CL-541 and PG-540. What are the codes for my replacements?
Does XL add additional value?
Canon Cartridge CL 541
Thank you for your question.
The XL on the cartridges means that this cartridge prints more pages compared to the standard cartridges. On our website we always give an estimate on how many pages each cartridge will print based on a 5% coverage of a A4 piece of paper.
To confirm whether or not these cartridges will fit in your printer, please click the ""Will this item work in my printer?"" link next to the product image. This will take you to a full list of compatible machines that will accept the item you are viewing.

Will these compatible PG-540XL and CL-541XL multipack cartridges work in the Canon MG3100 printer? I've tried compatibles previously but they don't seem to work on this model?
T
hank you,
Anne.
Compatibility of PG540XL / CL541XL cartridges
Unfortunately, we don't list the Canon MG3100 as a valid UK printer model name and this might refer to a series of printers rather than any specific model number. We can only guarantee that these compatible PG540XL / CL541XL high capacity ink cartridges will work in the printers listed on this page. From the Pixma MG3100 series, this would include the Canon Pixma MG3150 and MG3155 printers so if your printer was purchased in the UK it's likely to be one of these models. We advise you to re-check the model number on the printer or in the manual to confirm this. If you have a non-UK printer model then we wouldn't recommend that you buy ink from Cartridge Save as the cartridge numbers will be different to the ones we supply.

Answered by Damon Tetley (Staff Member) - about 6 years ago
I've replaced both the colour and black inks using your compatible PG540XL and CL541XL cartridges and neither of them show ink levels so my MG4250 printer has stopped working as it thinks it has no ink. I've discovered the way to override this using the reset button on the printer but this is less than ideal. Is this a common problem with your compatibles and the MG4250?
Reading ink levels for compatible MG4250 ink cartridges
Unfortunately, one of the downsides of using compatible cartridges from any brand or retailer is that they may not always show the correct ink levels. This is by no means a problem exclusive to the Canon Pixma MG4250 printer or the premium brand compatible Canon PG-540XL and CL-541XL ink cartridges that we supply. Removing the cartridges and powering the printer off for 10 mins and then reinstalling them once the printer is fully rebooted may allow the printer to read the cartridges correctly. Alternatively, please press and hold the printer\x92s 'Stop' button until the error message disappears from the screen (usually 5-10 seconds). Sometimes this will need to be repeated twice. This will disable the ink level indicator for the mentioned cartridge and the printer would resume printing. Note: This message will appear once for each cartridge, so it's possible the error message may appear again for the other cartridge .

As I use the black PG540XL ink far more than the colour ink CL-541XL, is it possible to buy black only ink packs?

Please tell me the comparable capacities of compatible Canon PG-540XL and CL-541XL cartridges as well as the normal PG-540 and CL-541 ink cartridges (ml capacities).
As with the genuine Canon ink cartridges, the capacity of these cartridges is only expressed as a page yield rather than an ml capacity. We don't stock a compatible PG-540 or CL-541 ink cartridge so we've listed the genuine ink yields so you can compare the cartridges:
Compatible high capacity black Canon PG-540XL ink cartridge: 600 pages
Compatible high capacity tri-colour Canon CL-541XL inkcartridge: 400 pages
Genuine black Canon PG-540 ink cartridge: 180 pages
Excellent value for money. I am ordered the cartridges and they arrived the next day.
The print quality it very good and I've not noticed any difference to genuine Canon ink.
Installation was simple
I'll definitely order from them again.
