Genuine vs Compatible Canon Ink Cartridges
Canon ink cartridges at Ink Depot are available in two formats and understanding what each offers helps you make the right decision for your printer and your budget.
Genuine Canon ink cartridges are manufactured by Canon using the same ink chemistry that Canon's printers are calibrated and tested for. Canon's dye-based inks, used across the PIXMA home range, are specifically formulated for vivid colour reproduction and smooth tonal gradients, particularly on photo paper. Canon's pigment-based inks, used in MAXIFY business cartridges, produce sharp, water-resistant output that holds up on plain paper in office environments. If photo print quality is a priority, or if your printer is under manufacturer warranty, genuine Canon ink is the recommended choice.
Compatible Canon ink cartridges at Ink Depot are produced by specialist third-party manufacturers and engineered to match the output of genuine cartridges at a meaningfully lower price. Because Canon PIXMA and MAXIFY printers are widely used across Australian homes and businesses, the compatible category is extensively developed and tested. Every compatible Canon cartridge at Ink Depot is backed by a 90-day money back guarantee.
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible ink cartridges in your Canon printer does not void your warranty, allowing you to choose compatible with complete confidence.
What Sets Canon Ink Apart
Two Distinct Ink Systems
Canon separates its ink technology into dye-based systems for photo printing and pigment-based systems for document printing, ensuring optimal output for each use case.
Replace Only What You Use
Many PIXMA printers use individual colour cartridges, meaning only the empty colour needs replacing. This reduces ink wastage and lowers long-term printing costs.
Better Value with Bundles
Canon cartridges are available in bundle packs, helping reduce cost per cartridge and minimising how often you need to reorder.

Canon Ink Cartridge Troubleshooting: Common Questions
1. Why is my Canon printer not recognising my new ink cartridge?
The most common cause is protective orange tape left on the cartridge that hasn't been fully removed before installation. Ensure all tape is removed, reinstall the cartridge firmly, and restart the printer if needed.
2. Why are my Canon PIXMA photo prints showing inaccurate colours?
This is usually caused by incorrect paper type settings. Always match the paper selected in print settings with the actual paper loaded in the printer.
3. How do I check individual ink levels on my Canon PIXMA printer?
Ink levels can be checked via the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app, printer driver, or directly on the printer display.
4. What is the difference between CLI-681XL and CLI-681XXL cartridges?
The CLI-681XXL offers the highest yield and best cost per page, making it ideal for frequent printing.
5. Can I use compatible cartridges in my Canon printer without voiding the warranty?
Yes. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your warranty. Ink Depot also backs compatible cartridges with a 90-day money back guarantee.
