Canon PG-640, PG-640XL, PG-640XXL, CL-641 & CL-641XL Ink Cartridges
Canon PG-640, PG-640XL, PG-640XXL, CL-641, and CL-641XL ink cartridges are used across a wide range of Canon PIXMA printers sold in Australia — including the MG2160, MG2260, MG3160, MG3260, MG3560, MG3660, MG4160, MG4260, MX376, MX396, MX436, MX456, MX476, MX516, MX526, MX536, and TS5160. Each printer takes two cartridges: one black (PG-640 series) and one tri-colour (CL-641 series), with the CL-641 covering cyan, magenta, and yellow in a single unit. Genuine Canon and compatible versions are available here as singles, 2-packs, and 4-packs.
Yield choices differ between the black and colour cartridges, and it is worth understanding the asymmetry before ordering. The standard PG-640 black and CL-641 colour both yield approximately 180 pages. Step up to the XL tier and both reach 400 pages - the PG-640XL for black and the CL-641XL for colour. The PG-640XXL pushes the black yield to 600 pages, more than three times the standard, but there is no CL-641XXL colour equivalent; the CL-641XL at 400 pages remains the highest yield available for colour. For households printing a mix of documents and photos, pairing a PG-640XXL black with a CL-641XL colour covers most printing patterns without over-stocking either colour.
Both genuine Canon and compatible cartridges are stocked as singles and in bundle packs. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your Canon printer warranty. Metro orders over $99 (conditions apply) receive free delivery - a small fee applies to rural and regional postcodes. See the shipping page for details.
