is this just a colour cartridge or is it black and colour ?

GREAT INFORMATION... Buyer Beware, Canon PG-540 Starter Cartridge Low Ink 8mls, Go For The Canon PG-540XL 21mls When Canon sell you a new printer (MG2150) they supply a Canon PG-540 black and a Canon CL-541 colour cartridge. Well these cartridges only hold 8mls black & 8mls colour ink in them which is written in really really small writing on the back of the cartridge boxes. For higher yield cartridges what you really need is the Canon PG-540XL black which holds 21mls of ink and for the colour you should be using the Canon CL-541XL cartridge which holds 15mls of ink. There is a company that I have also found (advantage online) which stock the Canon original XL's and do a British premium compatible 540XL/541XL maximum yield version which holds the same mls (21/15mls) but are much cheaper and work the same. Canon make there money out of selling you a very good printer (MG2150) but then sell you starter cartridges that have hardly any ink in them (PG540 & CL541) hoping that you keep buy these silly little empty cartridges time after time. Don't fall into the Canon ink con trap, Read your Manuel and only ever buy the XL's..

The add shows black and colour cartridge, is this right or is it one or the other or both?

You get both. A colour one and a black one.

Is this for MG4250? It says so in the title but not on the box on the picture. I want to be sure before purchasing.

Hello, not sure I bought it for mg3550, but I think it listed a few other printers that it was compatible with on Amazon write up but not on actual box. Hope that makes sense!
