Q: What is the difference between Canon PG645 and PG645 XL ink?
A: Canon PG645 is the standard-yield black cartridge in this range. If you print often, an XL version is the better fit because it lasts longer between replacements, while PG645 suits lighter home or student document printing.
Q: Can this cartridge print colour pages or photo prints on its own?
A: No. Canon PG645 is a black-only cartridge, so it handles black text and monochrome printing rather than full-colour pages. For colour output, a separate compatible colour cartridge is needed in the printer.
Q: Which Canon printers are compatible with the PG645 cartridge?
A: Canon PG645 is listed for PIXMA MG2460, MG2560, MG2960, MG3060, MX496, TR4560, TS306, TS3160, TS3165, TS3360 and TS3365. If a printer is not on that list, compatibility is not confirmed for this cartridge.
Q: Is the PG645 a good choice for frequent document printing?
A: Canon PG645 suits light to moderate printing rather than heavy ongoing use. Its page yield is 180 pages, so regular high-volume printing will mean more frequent replacements than a higher-capacity cartridge in the same range.
Q: Does pigment black ink make a noticeable difference on plain paper?
A: Yes. Canon PG645 uses pigment black ink, which is better suited to crisp text on plain paper than a black cartridge aimed at colour blending. It is a practical fit for letters, forms and schoolwork rather than colour-heavy pages.
Q: Will this cartridge dry out if I do not print often?
A: Canon PG645 is designed for consistent ink flow, which helps reduce drying and smudging during normal use. It is better suited to occasional home printing than long gaps with the printer left idle and no test pages run.
