All packed and ready to go.
So easy to use in my printer.....just remove the protective tape and place the cartridge in the printer and away you go with colour, if this is what you want at the time.

Colour ink
I get this ink because I have to but it doesn’t seem to last very long at all, I never print in colour yet for some reason my machine says low on colour ink all the time, seems like a bit of a scam tbh

Great colour
Great colour and very easy to swap over with the old one. It also lasts reasonable well in terms running low/ out of ink.

I have a Canon Pixma printer and always buy the printer cartridge refills from the Good Guys.
The Canon Pixma printer take these cartridges so I go to the Good Guys because I know I am getting the correct ink cartridges for my printer.

At a glance
The Canon CL646 XL is a tri-colour ink cartridge for households and small offices that want reliable everyday colour printing and simple replacement. It suits a wide range of compatible Canon Pixma printers, delivers up to 300 pages, and supports photo detail with FINE print head technology. Its main limitation is that it is a combined colour cartridge, so you replace all colours together rather than individually.

- Home Documents
- Schoolwork
- Family Photos

Where it works best
- Home
- Home Office
- Small Office

Things to consider
Because this is a tri-colour cartridge, you may need to replace the whole cartridge when one colour runs out, unlike printers that use separate individual colour tanks.
Printer compatibility assessment
Strong fit for compatible Canon Pixma models including MG2460, MG2560, MG2960, MG3060, MX496, TR4560, TS306, TS3160, TS3165, TS3360 and TS3365.
Page yield value score
7/10 - up to 300 pages is practical for everyday use, though heavier users may prefer higher-yield or separate-colour systems.
Ease of replacement rating
9/10 - single tri-colour cartridge design makes installation simple and convenient.
Business vs home suitability
Best suited to home and light small-office printing rather than high-volume business environments.
Key benefits
- Xl capacity: Prints up to 300 pages, helping reduce cartridge changes for regular colour printing.
- Tri-colour ink system: Combines cyan, magenta and yellow in one cartridge for straightforward everyday colour printing.
- Fine print head technology: Supports clear detail and reliable colour output for documents and photos.
- Quick-drying ink: Helps reduce smudging on freshly printed pages.
- Easy installation: Simple cartridge replacement makes routine printer maintenance easier.
- Broad pixma compatibility: Works with a range of compatible Canon Pixma printers used at home and in small offices.
- Photo and document versatility: Suitable for both everyday paperwork and casual photo printing.
- 1 year manufacturer's warranty: Adds peace of mind for normal home or office use.
Q: Can the Canon CL-646XL replace a standard Canon CL-646 colour cartridge?
A: Yes. CL-646XL is the high-capacity version of the standard CL-646, so it fits printers that specify the CL-646 colour cartridge. It is not a substitute for the separate PG-645 or PG-645XL black cartridge, which uses a different cartridge type.
Q: Which Canon printers are compatible with the CL-646XL cartridge?
A: It suits selected Canon Pixma models including MG2460, MG2560, MG2960, MG3060, MX496, TR4560, TR4660, TS3160, TS3165, TS3166, TS3360, TS3365 and TS3460. Match the full printer model before buying, because similar Pixma names do not always use the same cartridge.
Q: Do I also need a black cartridge with the Canon CL-646XL?
A: Yes. Most compatible Canon Pixma printers use two cartridges, one colour and one black, so CL-646XL is only the tri-colour half of the set. If the black cartridge is empty or missing, many models will also need a PG-645 or PG-645XL installed for normal printing.
Q: Is the Canon CL-646XL better suited to photos or everyday documents?
A: It is suited to both, but its strongest use is colour photo printing. Canon lists FINE print head technology and ChromaLife100 support, which are designed for photo detail and longer-lasting prints when used with genuine Canon inks and compatible Canon photo paper.
Q: What does the 300-page yield mean in real-world printing?
A: The quoted 300-page yield is an estimate based on standardised test pages, not every home print job. Photo-heavy pages, graphics and frequent cleaning cycles can use ink faster, while lighter documents with smaller colour areas may last longer.
