CANON PIXMA PG47 BLACK

Product Overview

The Canon PIXMA PG47 Black Cartridge is a practical replacement for compatible PIXMA printers that use the PG-47 black cartridge. If your printer is showing low ink or print quality is declining, replacing the cartridge with the correct Canon ink can help you return to everyday printing without replacing the printer itself.

The PG-47 is a black ink cartridge with a stated yield of up to 400 pages. It is designed for selected Canon PIXMA models including the E400, E410, E460, E470 and E480. Canon’s official specifications for the PIXMA E410 and E470 also list PG-47 as the standard black cartridge with a 400-page yield.

Key Benefits

Original Canon ink: The product is described as genuine Canon ink developed alongside Canon print heads. Using the manufacturer’s specified consumable keeps the cartridge and printer combination aligned with its intended design.

Up to 400-page yield: The stated yield is 400 pages. Actual results can vary with page coverage, document type, printer settings and other printing conditions.

Selected PIXMA compatibility: The supplied compatibility list includes Canon PIXMA E400, E410, E460, E470 and E480. Always confirm your exact printer model before ordering.

Everyday black printing: A dedicated black cartridge is useful for documents such as assignments, forms, invoices, reports and general office paperwork.

Straightforward replacement: When the existing black cartridge is depleted, the PG-47 provides a direct replacement rather than requiring a change of printer.

Features & Specifications

The supplied details also contain a separate 0.4 kg weight entry. Because these figures conflict, the exact packaged/shipping weight should be confirmed against the current product listing if required.

Canon’s official specifications confirm that the PIXMA E410 and E470 use PG-47 as the standard black cartridge and list a 400-page yield.

How It Works and Why It Matters

A printer cartridge needs to match the printer’s ink system and cartridge design. That is why the model number matters more than simply choosing any Canon black cartridge.

The PG-47 is relevant to compatible PIXMA E-series printers. Canon lists the E410 with a Fine Cartridge print system and PG-47 black ink, while the E470 specification also lists PG-47. The E410 and E470 have maximum print resolutions of up to 4,800 x 1,200 dpi, but final output depends on the printer, paper, settings and document being printed.

The 400-page yield is useful for planning replacement purchases. For occasional printing, a cartridge may last for a reasonable period. For regular printing, the figure gives you a useful reference for estimating when another cartridge may be needed. It should not be treated as a guarantee of exactly 400 pages because actual ink consumption varies.

Canon’s official specifications note that print results can vary with factors such as document complexity, software, print mode and paper.

Who Is It For?

The Canon PIXMA PG47 Black Cartridge is intended for owners of compatible Canon PIXMA models. It can suit:

• Students printing assignments, notes and study materials
• Home users printing forms and everyday documents
• Small offices handling routine paperwork
• Home-office users with a compatible PIXMA printer
• Businesses needing a replacement black cartridge for an existing E-series printer

It is especially useful when the printer itself is still working properly but the black cartridge is low or empty.

Why It Makes Sense for Sri Lankan Buyers

For buyers in Sri Lanka, the most important consideration is getting the correct cartridge without unnecessary trial and error. Canon offers several ink cartridge ranges, so checking the exact model number is more reliable than choosing based only on the brand or ink colour.

The Canon PIXMA PG47 Black Cartridge is a sensible choice when your printer specifically calls for PG-47. The stated 400-page yield can also help home users, students and small offices plan replacement purchases around their normal printing volume.

If you print both black and colour documents, remember that PG-47 is the black cartridge. A compatible colour cartridge may be required separately depending on your printer model and printing needs.

What to Consider Before Buying

Before ordering, check the exact printer model printed on your device or shown in its manual. The supplied compatibility list includes:

• Canon PIXMA E400
• Canon PIXMA E410
• Canon PIXMA E460
• Canon PIXMA E470
• Canon PIXMA E480

If your printer is not on this list, do not assume PG-47 will fit because it is a Canon PIXMA cartridge. Confirm compatibility first.

Also check whether you need black ink only or a colour cartridge as well. Canon lists CL-57S as the standard colour cartridge paired with PG-47 on the E410 and E470.

Finally, keep the 400-page yield in perspective. Pages with heavier text or graphics can consume more ink than lightly printed documents, so your actual cartridge life may differ.

For additional printer consumables, Zoom360’s cartridges and toners category is useful when you need other printing supplies.

Related Products & Accessories

The most relevant related purchase is a compatible colour cartridge if your printer requires both black and colour ink. Canon lists CL-57S with PG-47 on the PIXMA E410 and E470, while the E470 also supports the optional CL-57. Always match the colour cartridge to the exact printer model.

If your current printer needs replacing rather than just a new cartridge, you can also explore Zoom360’s printer range. For a working compatible printer, however, replacing the depleted PG-47 is the more direct solution.
