The Icinginks™ Black Edible Cleaning Ink Cartridge for Canon CLI-251XL comes with a microchip and is filled with a specialized food-grade cleaning solution built to break through clogs caused by printer downtime. It's compatible with the Canon PIXMA MG5650, MG5450, MG5550, MG5422, MG5420, MG5522, MG5520, iX6820, MX922, MX722, MG7520, MG7120, MG6620, MG6420, MG6320, MG5620, iP8720, and iP7220.
Printheads typically clog for one of two reasons: the printer went unused for an extended stretch, or ink cartridges stayed installed in an idle machine without regular printing to keep the ink moving. Watch for vertical or horizontal lines across your prints, colors that look faded or missing, and in the worst cases, sheets printing blank.
Running this Black Edible Cleaning Ink Cartridge through your printer's built-in cleaning function clears that buildup out. Once the cycle finishes and your test prints look clean, swap the cartridge back out for your regular Icinginks edible ink cartridge and get back to printing.
Keep Streaky, Faded Prints From Slowing You Down
A clogged printhead can turn a routine order into a wasted afternoon of failed prints and troubleshooting. Keeping this edible cleaning cartridge on hand means you can tackle the problem the moment you spot the warning signs, before it costs you time or materials.
Why This Edible Cleaning Cartridge Belongs in Your Toolkit

Running a Cleaning Cycle in a Few Simple Steps

A Few Things to Keep in Mind
This cleaning solution is built strictly for printer maintenance and should never be consumed. Only use cleaning cartridges that are clearly labeled food-grade. Icinginks ensures every cartridge meets that standard. Once your printhead runs clean again, swap back to your standard Icinginks edible ink cartridges before resuming any edible print jobs.
Storage and Shelf Life
Store the cartridge in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat when it's not in use. The cleaning solution carries a shelf life of 12 months or more, so it stays ready whenever your printhead needs a refresh.
When to Reach for This Cleaning Cartridge
