Canon PG-240XL/CL-24XL with GP-502 Ink Combo Value Pack - 2 Pack

Premium Canon XL Ink + Glossy Photo Paper—Doubled

Power your Canon PIXMA with a cost-saving, photo-ready bundle—times two. The Canon PG-240XL/CL-241XL with GP-502 Ink Combo Value Pack (manufacturer number 5206B005A) includes two full value packs, each with one PG-240XL Pigment Black cartridge, one CL-241XL Dye Tri-Color cartridge, and 50 sheets of 4x6 in GP-502 Glossy Photo Paper. That’s a total of 2 XL black cartridges, 2 XL color cartridges, and 100 sheets of glossy photo paper—ideal for households, students, home offices, and anyone who prints both documents and photos.

Mixed Ink Technology for Text and Photos

Canon’s dual-ink approach delivers the best of both worlds: the PG-240XL pigment black produces razor-sharp text with high optical density and excellent water resistance, while the CL-241XL dye-based tri-color (C/M/Y) renders smooth gradations and richly saturated hues for photos. Combined with Canon photo media and PIXMA print engines, this system supports Canon’s ChromaLife100 technology for outstanding fade resistance and album longevity.

XL High-Yield Cartridges = Fewer Replacements

Each XL cartridge holds more ink than a standard cartridge, reducing the frequency of replacements and lowering your cost per page over time. Typical ISO/IEC yields are approximately 300 pages for PG-240XL (black) and about 400 pages for CL-241XL (color), making this bundle an excellent value for mixed document and photo workflows. Actual yields vary with content, settings, and usage.

Includes Canon GP-502 4x6 Glossy Photo Paper

Each value pack includes 50 sheets of Canon GP-502 4x6 in Glossy Photo Paper, formulated to dry instantly and resist smudges for lab-quality prints at home. The bright white base and glossy finish complement the CL-241XL’s dye inks, delivering vibrant colors, deep blacks, and smooth skin tones—perfect for family snapshots, crafts, and album prints.

Why Choose Genuine Canon

OEM Canon ink and media are engineered together with PIXMA printheads for consistent color, clean nozzle performance, and accurate ink-level reporting. Genuine cartridges help protect your printhead from premature wear, reduce the risk of clogging or leaks, and maintain warranty compliance and consistent print quality.

Usage Tips for Best Results

- Store unopened cartridges upright in a cool, dry place and install before the “best by” date for optimal performance.
- After installation, run a nozzle check from your printer utility to ensure optimal alignment and flow.
- For borderless photos on GP-502, select the correct paper type (Glossy Photo Paper), size (4x6 in), and borderless option in your driver settings.
- Handle prints by the edges; allow a short dry time (typically near-instant on GP-502) before stacking.
- Keep a spare XL set on hand if you print frequently; mixing document and photo projects can deplete different colors at different rates.

A Brief History of Canon PIXMA Ink

Canon’s PIXMA line pairs precision printheads with tailored OEM inks for a balance of text sharpness and photographic fidelity. Pigment blacks maximize legibility and water resistance for documents, while dye-based color inks produce smooth tones and wide color gamuts for photos. With the introduction of ChromaLife100 systems and Canon’s photo media, PIXMA users enjoy long-lasting prints that maintain vibrancy and detail over time.
