What ink for Canon Pixma iP4850? Cartridge system and key benefits

The printer works with the PGI-525 pigment black cartridge (great for crisp text) and the CLI-526 colour series (ideal for smooth colour transitions and photos). Choosing the right ink for Canon Pixma iP4850 matters—good ink supports accurate colours, readable black text, and helps keep the printhead in good condition during long-term use.

• PGI-525 BK – deep, durable black for documents and business printouts.

How to choose: original vs compatible ink for Canon Pixma iP4850

When you choose ink for Canon Pixma iP4850, start with your priorities: colour-critical photo work, volume printing, or simply the best value per page.

• Original OEM cartridges are made by Canon and are a great pick if you want to stick to manufacturer supplies, maintain consistent results across many print jobs, or print photos where you want maximum predictability.
• Compatible cartridges are a smart choice when you want to lower printing costs without sacrificing quality. Our compatible cartridges from DrTusz.pl are designed to deliver print results that are as good as the originals in everyday use—sharp text, strong colours, and reliable performance.

Not sure which cartridge code you need? For this printer it’s typically PGI-525 and CLI-526 (also searched by codes like 4496B008). If you print a lot of photos, consider adding CLI-526 BK and CLI-526 G to your set for better depth and smoother grayscale transitions.

Common user issues with Canon Pixma iP4850 ink – and what helps

Many problems reported by users aren’t caused by the printer itself, but by empty tanks, long breaks between printing, or using the wrong cartridge variant. With the right ink cartridges for Canon Pixma iP4850 and a few good habits, you can avoid most frustrations.

• Faded prints or missing colours – often a low or empty colour cartridge (CLI-526). Replacing the specific colour usually fixes it quickly.
• Streaks or lines – can appear after a longer pause in printing. A fresh cartridge and standard maintenance cycles (like nozzle check/cleaning) typically restore smooth output.
• Frequent black cartridge replacement – if you print lots of text, consider the PGI-525 BK multi-pack options for convenience.
• Colour imbalance in photos – photo printing benefits from using the full set (including CLI-526 BK and CLI-526 G) and keeping cartridges from the same type (OEM or compatible) for consistent results.
