Dye-based ink instead of Pigment-based one. Canon Pixima MX922

[nadjib]

I am opting for refillable cartridges for Pixima MX922 because non-OEM cartridges are a bit expensive (much less OEM ones). I print a lot of pages as a Teacher, and my printer run out of ink every two weeks especially PGI-250 (sometimes i have to purchase the entire set just for PGI-250 cartridge !!! ).

Can I use dye-based ink on my Pixima MX922 in the large cartridge (pigment-based) ? knowing that i live in a country where i only have access to dye-based ink bottles. Simply because buying DIY bottles & cartridges are way cheaper than using non-OEM prefilled ones.

Hi nadjib,

The PIXMA MX922 must use pigment ink with the PGI-250 ink tank.  Using a different type of ink will lead to incorrect printing and eventually a clogged printhead.
