Canon PG-645, PG-645XL, CL-646 & CL-646XL Ink Cartridges
Canon PG-645 and CL-646 ink cartridges are compatible with 10 Canon PIXMA home and home office printers: PIXMA TR4560, TR4665, MG2460, MG2560, MG2960, MG2965, MG3060, MX496, TS3160/TS3165, and TS3660. These two cartridges work together - the PG-645 is a pigment-based black cartridge that produces sharp, water-resistant text for everyday document printing, while the CL-646 is a tri-colour dye cartridge covering cyan, magenta, and yellow for colour documents and photos. Standard and XL high yield variants are available for both.
The standard PG-645 and CL-646 each yield 180 pages. The high yield PG-645XL and CL-646XL each yield 400 pages - more than double the standard - making XL cartridges the more cost-effective choice for homes and small offices that print regularly. The PG-645 uses pigment ink rather than dye, which gives sharper edges on text and better resistance to water and smudging compared to a dye-based black.
Genuine Canon PG-645 and CL-646 cartridges are available as singles and in 2-pack and 4-pack multipacks for both standard and XL variants. Compatible PG-645XL and CL-646XL singles and 3-pack bundles are also available. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your Canon printer warranty. Orders over $99 (conditions apply) receive free delivery Australia-wide. A small fee applies to rural and regional postcodes. Browse the full Canon ink cartridges range or explore Canon printers.
