AURASKY 245XL 246XL Compatible Ink Cartridge for Canon 245 and 246 XL PG-245XL CL-246XL for PIXMA TR4520 TS302 MG2525 TR4527 TS3322 MG3022 MX490 TS202 Cannon Printer Ink Cartridges (2 Black, 1 Color)

Why This Deal Is Worth It

If you are like me, you have spent far too much time standing in an office supply aisle staring at name-brand ink prices that feel like a mortgage payment. The Aurasky XL cartridges are a practical alternative because they use a smart chip that actually communicates with your Canon printer, preventing those annoying error messages that stop a print job mid-stream. By opting for the XL capacity, you are getting significantly more pages than the standard cartridges, which means fewer trips to the store and less time spent troubleshooting low-ink warnings. In my experience, these hold up just as well for school permission slips and tax documents, saving enough annually to cover six months of school lunches. This is for the parent who is tired of their printer flashing a low-ink light the exact second they need to print a project for school the next morning. If your household runs on last-minute print jobs and endless homework pages, this is the solution to your ink-related panic. The only caveat is that these third-party chips can be sensitive if your printer firmware updates automatically. If the printer doesn't recognize the cartridge initially, simply power cycle the unit or wipe the chip contacts with a clean cloth, and it usually resolves the issue immediately.
