Canon Pixma MX885 – a proven all-in-one for home and office

Canon Pixma MX885 (also searched as Canon MX885 or Canon MX800 Series) is a versatile inkjet multifunction printer designed for everyday documents, business correspondence and photo printing. It combines fast office-style printing with Canon’s well-known photo quality, which is why choosing the right ink for Canon Pixma MX885 matters so much. In our store you will find both Original OEM cartridges and reliable compatible ink cartridges matched specifically to this model (including references like 4894B008).

What ink cartridges does Canon Pixma MX885 use?

This printer works with the popular Canon cartridge family: PGI-525 (pigment black for crisp text) and CLI-526 (dye inks for colour and photo printing). With the right set, you get sharp letters on plain paper, smooth gradients in graphics, and vivid colours in photos. That’s why it’s worth selecting cartridges based on what you print most often: invoices and documents, colourful presentations, or high-quality photos.

In this category you can choose:

• Black text cartridge: PGI-525 BK – ideal for clean, durable office prints
• Photo/colour cartridges: CLI-526 C/M/Y/BK and CLI-526 G (Gray) – for accurate colours and better tonal transitions in photos
• Convenient multipacks: CMYK sets and mixed PGI+CLI bundles – great value and fewer emergencies

Compatible vs Original OEM – choose what suits you

Many customers ask us which is better: Original OEM ink cartridge or compatible ink cartridge for Canon MX885. The honest answer is: it depends on your priorities. Original OEM cartridges are made by Canon and are a safe, predictable choice for users who want to stay strictly within manufacturer branding.

At the same time, our compatible ink for Canon Pixma MX885 is a smart option if you print a lot and want to control costs without sacrificing quality. The compatible cartridges we offer are carefully selected, tested for performance, and designed to work just as smoothly in everyday use—sharp text, consistent colours, and stable printing. If you want a dependable replacement at a better price, compatible is often the most practical route.

How to choose the right ink for Canon Pixma MX885

To avoid mismatches, we recommend a simple approach: confirm your printer model name (Canon Pixma MX885 / Canon MX885 / MX800 Series) and then decide whether you need a single cartridge or a set. If your printouts are mostly documents, prioritize PGI-525 BK. If you print photos or colour graphics, make sure you have the full CLI-526 colour range.

Common situations reported by MX885 users—and how the right cartridge choice helps:

• Faded colours or colour shifts – replace the specific CLI-526 colour that’s running low (C/M/Y), or choose a CMYK multipack
• Weak black text – PGI-525 BK is usually the key cartridge for strong office black
• Photo prints lack depth – ensuring you have CLI-526 BK (Photo Black) and CLI-526 G (Gray) can improve tonal balance
• Frequent replacements – multipacks reduce downtime and are often the most economical choice
