CLI-281XL Magenta Ink Cartridge

Match the cartridge or tank number — for example PG-210 or CLI-221 — to your printer model. The number is printed on your old cartridge and in your printer's manual, and the compatibility list on this page shows the exact models this ink fits. Not sure? Contact our team before you order and we'll confirm.

XL (high-yield) cartridges hold more ink and print more pages than the standard version of the same cartridge number, so the cost per page is lower. They're the same physical size and fit the same printers.

Yes. Compatible ink is formulated to the manufacturer's specifications as a direct replacement — it won't damage your printer or void its warranty. If your printer shows a non-genuine warning, printing continues normally.

Print at least once a week, leave cartridges installed in the printer rather than removing them, and run the printer's cleaning cycle occasionally. Store spare cartridges sealed in their original packaging.

A sealed ink cartridge generally stays good for about two years. Once installed, it's best used within about six months for consistent print quality.
