How to choose the best ink cartridge for Canon Pixma iP4900

When you’re deciding on ink for printer Canon Pixma iP4900, we recommend thinking about three things: what you print, how often you print, and what matters most—maximum OEM consistency or the best value for money.

• For document-heavy printing: choose PGI-525 BK (pigment black). It’s built for crisp text and strong contrast.
• For photos and colour graphics: keep CLI-526 colours ready (C/M/Y) and consider Photo Black and Gray if you want smoother photo tones.
• For convenience: pick a multi-pack (CMYK or black + colours) to avoid running out mid-print.

Common Canon iP4900 user issues – and how the right cartridges help

Users of the Canon Pixma iP4900 most often report a few typical printing frustrations. The good news: many of them are linked to ink condition and cartridge choice.

• Faded colours or missing lines: usually happens when a colour runs low or the printer hasn’t been used for a while. Keeping a fresh CLI-526 set on hand helps prevent interruptions.
• Black text not as sharp as expected: make sure you’re using the correct PGI-525 BK pigment black for documents.
• Frequent “one colour empty” stops: multi-packs are a simple fix—especially if you print photos or school materials where colours disappear quickly.
• Uneven photo quality: using a complete, matched set (CMYK, and optionally Photo Black/Gray) improves consistency across prints.
