Canon Pixma iP4800 – a compact photo printer that still delivers

Canon Pixma iP4800 (also searched as Canon iP4800, iP4800 or Canon IP4000 Series) is a popular inkjet printer known for crisp text, smooth color transitions and very good photo output at home. It uses a separate pigment black cartridge for documents and dye-based color/photo inks for graphics, which makes it economical and versatile. In this category we offer carefully selected ink cartridges for Canon Pixma iP4800 in two proven options: Compatible and Original OEM.

What ink for Canon Pixma iP4800? How the PGI-525 and CLI-526 system works

This printer uses the PGI-525 BK cartridge (pigment black) mainly for sharp, durable text, and the CLI-526 family for color and photo printing: Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y), plus Black Photo (BK) and Gray (G) for better tonal balance in photos. Choosing the right ink for Canon Pixma iP4800 depends on what you print most often—documents, color presentations or photos.

• Everyday documents: PGI-525 BK delivers dense black and clear letters.
• Color prints & photos: CLI-526 CMYK ensures vivid color, while CLI-526 BK and CLI-526 G help with deeper blacks and smoother grayscale.
• Cost control: separate cartridges mean you replace only the color you actually use.

How to choose the right ink cartridge for Canon Pixma iP4800

When selecting ink for Canon iP4800, start with your printing habits and the cartridges your printer reports as low. For most users, the best approach is keeping one spare black and one spare color set at home.

• Match the symbol: PGI-525 is for pigment black; CLI-526 is for colors/photo.
• Go multipack if you print regularly: it’s convenient and often more cost-effective.
• Photos? Consider including CLI-526 BK (Black Photo) and CLI-526 G (Gray) for smoother gradients and better monochrome results.
• Home office? Prioritize PGI-525 BK—it’s usually the fastest to empty when printing documents.

Common Canon Pixma iP4800 user issues and practical tips

Because the iP4800 is often used for both documents and photos, users sometimes experience typical inkjet challenges. The good news: most of them are easy to handle with the right cartridge choice and a few habits.

• Streaks or missing lines: usually related to a clogged nozzle after long downtime—run a nozzle check/cleaning and print a small color page once in a while.
• Colors look faded: replace the specific CLI-526 color that is empty and check print settings (photo paper vs plain paper).
• Frequent cartridge changes: choose multipacks (e.g., CMYK set) and keep a spare PGI-525 BK for uninterrupted work.
• Mixed printing (text + photos): having both PGI-525 BK and a full CLI-526 set on hand prevents downtime.

And if you are deciding between OEM and compatible: Original OEM ink cartridges are the manufacturer’s option, while our compatible ink cartridges for Canon Pixma iP4800 provide excellent results and everyday reliability at a more budget-friendly price—without compromising the quality you expect.
