Q. What precautions should I take while storing Canon Pixma MG3250 ink cartridges to keep them in reusable condition? Will improper storage of these ink cartridges reduce its shelf life?
A. It is important to store the ink cartridges in proper conditions to maintain their efficiency:
- Make sure that you store Canon Pixma ink cartridges in their original packaging until you are ready to use them.
- Store the cartridges away from direct exposure of sunlight to minimise the risk of damage.

Q. I’m looking for compatible Canon Pixma MG3250 ink cartridges for my Canon printer. Do you accept orders only before 2pm?
A. No, it is not necessary to place your order before 2pm. You can order Canon Pixma MG3250 ink cartridges anytime. Approximately 90% of the orders received before 12 noon daily are despatched the same day (subject to the stock levels).
Q. My Canon Pixma MG3250 printer displays “Error 5B00”. What does this error code mean?
A. The error message indicates that the waste ink absorber is full. Everytime the printer runs a head cleaning routine, it flushes some ink to keep the print head clean and clear. This ink runs into the waste ink absorber. (The waste ink absorber is usually a large sponge or tank).
Be careful while moving the printer. Though the ink absorber is full, printer leaking is possible when the printer is moved. (You can clean the waste ink absorber but that’s extremely difficult and messy). For the safe side, put the printer in a large bag first while moving.
Q. What is the difference between original Canon Pixma MG3250 ink cartridges and compatibles ones?
