The Icinginks™ Black Edible Cleaning Ink Cartridge for Canon CLI-271XL comes with a microchip and is filled with a specialized food-grade cleaning solution built to break through deep clogs caused by printer idle time. It's compatible with the Canon PIXMA MG5720, MG5721, MG5722, MG6820, MG6821, MG6822, MG7720, TS5020, TS6020, TS8020, and TS9020.
Printheads usually clog for one of two reasons: the printer sat idle for an extended period, or ink cartridges were left installed without regular printing to keep the ink flowing. The telltale signs include vertical or horizontal lines across your prints, colors that look muted or are missing entirely, and, in the worst cases, blank sheets.
Running this cleaning cartridge for a Canon printer through your machine's built-in cleaning function clears that buildup. Once the cycle is done and you've confirmed clean test prints, simply swap the cleaning 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 black edible cleaning ink cartridge on hand means you can address the problem the moment you spot the warning signs, before it costs you time or materials.
