Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Third-party PGI-35 and CLI-36 alternatives replicate the precise physical ink-delivery dimensions required by mobile micro-printheads. Detailed performance breakdowns are located on our genuine vs compatible overview page.
Best way to stock these cartridges
Mobile setups requiring clear text print mainly black text, making individual PGI-35 cartridges highly efficient, whereas full graphics printing depletes the CLI-36 colour block significantly faster. Compatible single cartridges carry a full money-back guarantee if they fail to function. All purchases remain fully backed by our Returns policy. Orders dispatch rapidly from capital city facilities across Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply). Secure all necessary supplies by looking over our comprehensive line of Canon ink cartridges.
Pro Tip
Mobile printers sit idle for extended intervals between transit cycles; always run a nozzle check sequence immediately after planes or regional vehicles change ambient pressure levels, preventing trapped micro-bubbles from causing blank ink bands across your pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the CLI-36 colour cartridge deplete so rapidly compared to the PGI-35 black?
The CLI-36 is a physically small, combined tri-colour cartridge containing cyan, magenta, and yellow reservoirs under one casing, meaning if your graphic design uses a heavy amount of one specific shade, that entire chamber will empty first and require the whole multi-colour tank to be replaced at 110 pages.
Can I store a spare PGI-35 or CLI-36 cartridge inside a hot vehicle glovebox?
No, doing so will ruin the fluid composition because these miniature mobile cartridges are highly vulnerable to intense heat, which triggers fluid evaporation through the vent holes and causes internal gelation, destroying the firing mechanism before installation.
Will the printer interface indicate accurate ink track levels when running compatible replacements?
Yes, third-party PGI-35 and CLI-36 alternatives carry updated electronic indicator chips that sync cleanly with your mobile printer firmware, tracking accurate fluid depletion alerts on your laptop screen or mobile application layout without error blocks.
