• ✔ Genuine Canon cartridges - singles, 8-pack & 16-pack

The Canon CLI-65 system is designed specifically for photo printing, not general office use. All eight cartridges use dye-based ink, allowing the PIXMA PRO-200 and PRO-200S to produce smoother gradients, wider colour range, and more accurate tonal transitions compared to standard 4-colour printers. This is particularly noticeable in skin tones, shadow detail, and black-and-white images.

Unlike many Canon cartridge families, CLI-65 does not include a pigment black. Instead, the system relies entirely on dye inks across all eight colours, including dedicated grey and light grey cartridges. This setup improves tonal balance and reduces colour casting in monochrome prints, making it better suited to photography and print work where consistency matters.

All CLI-65 cartridges are standard yield at approximately 290 pages each, with no XL or high-yield versions available. Because photo printing uses multiple colours together, most users find ink levels drop at a similar rate across the full set. For this reason, many PRO-200 users prefer keeping a complete spare set or purchasing multipacks to avoid interruptions during print jobs.

Genuine Canon CLI-65 cartridges are available as singles, full 8-packs, and 16-pack bundles for higher-volume printing. Orders over $99 (conditions apply) qualify for free metro delivery, with a small fee applying to some regional areas. You can also browse the full range of Canon ink cartridges or shop by printer via the Canon PIXMA PRO-200 page.

General FAQ

What printers use Canon CLI-65 ink cartridges?

The CLI-65 series - also searched as CLI65 or CLI 65 - is used in the Canon PIXMA PRO-200 and PIXMA PRO-200S photo printers. These models use eight individual cartridges: CLI-65BK, CLI-65C, CLI-65M, CLI-65Y, CLI-65PC, CLI-65PM, CLI-65GY, and CLI-65LGY.

Are Canon CLI-65 cartridges dye-based or pigment-based?

All eight CLI-65 cartridges use dye-based ink. This allows for a wider colour gamut and smoother tonal transitions, which is why the system is designed for photo printing rather than standard document output.

Can I use compatible CLI-65 cartridges in my PRO-200?

Compatible CLI-65 cartridges are available from third-party suppliers, although Ink Depot currently stocks genuine Canon CLI-65 cartridges. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.

How long do CLI-65 cartridges last?

Each CLI-65 cartridge has a standard yield of approximately 290 pages. Actual usage will vary depending on print size, image coverage, and paper type, with photo printing consuming more ink than standard documents.

Is there an XL version of the Canon CLI-65?

No. Canon does not produce XL or high-yield versions of the CLI-65 range. All eight cartridges are standard yield only, so multipacks are the most practical option for frequent printing.
