If you intend to self-refuel the color cartridge on a Canon printer, you must know the position of each color on the cartridge. Errors in determining color locations have a major impact on the results of the print process.
For the example, we use the CL-811 cartridge, which is used on Canon Pixma Printer iP-2770. Unlike black cartridges, color cartridges have 3 different color locations.
To make it easier to know the three charging locations, remove the sticker / label on the cartridge. You can make a filling hole with a drill, screw, or nail.
So where are the ink color locations on the Canon printer color cartridge?
The third color location arrangement is:
1. Red Color (Magenta): located at the top.
2. Blue Color (Cyan): located on the bottom left.
3. Yellow color (Yellow): located on the bottom right.
The positions of those three colors apply to the following Canon Pixma color printer cartridges:
iP2770/ iP2772/ iP1180/ iP1200/ iP1300/ iP1600/ iP1700/ iP1880/ iP1890/ iP2200/ iP2580/ iP2680
MP145/ MP150/ MP160/ MP170/ MP180/ MP198/ MP218/ MP228/ MP450/ MP460/ MP476/ MP258/ MP268/ MP276/ MP287/ MP486/ MP296/ MP497
