Black: For the black ink cartridge, the PIXMA TR4522 uses either the PG-243 which prints 100 pages, the PG-245 which prints 180 pages, or the high yield PG-245XL which prints 300 pages. All of these black cartridges contain a pigment-based ink formulation for long-lasting water-proof prints.

You can shop aftermarket versions of the Canon TR4522 ink cartridges and get the same print results and same page yields as original Canon cartridges.

Does the Canon PIXMA TR4522 come with ink?

Yes, the Canon TR4522 printer comes with a set of black PG-243 and color CL-244 ink cartridges when you purchase the printer.

Do I need color cartridges when printing black and white documents?

Yes, you do. Your Canon TR4522 printer primes both black and color cartridges even if you're only going to print a black and white document. If you don't usually print in color and put off replacing an empty color cartridge, this can cause a mechanism that connects your printhead with your color cartridge to overheat and may result in expensive and even irreversible damages to your printer.
