Canon PIXMA TR4560 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Canon PIXMA Home Office TR4560, which uses the Canon PG-645 and CL-646 ink cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Dec 2019. The TR4560 is a compact all-in-one wireless printer designed for daily home office document printing and occasional colour scanning. Upgrading from standard PG-645 black to PG-645XL high-yield ink cartridges drastically reduces replacement frequency for text-heavy workloads. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected Page Output and Cartridge Yields
Standard PG-645 and CL-646 cartridges suit light printing, while PG-645XL and CL-646XL high-yield options provide more than double the prints. Page yields are measured using standard ISO/IEC 24711 test patterns under continuous printing conditions.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG-645 | Standard | Black | 180 | $0.14 |
| CL-646 | Standard | Colour | 180 | $0.19 |
| PG-645XL | High Yield | Black | 400 | $0.11 |
| CL-646XL | High Yield | Colour | 400 | $0.11 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing Compatible PG-645XL and CL-646XL Cartridges
Third-party compatible cartridges offer an affordable alternative to original Canon consumables without compromising output clarity. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our comprehensive guide on genuine vs compatible cartridges to evaluate which option best suits your printing habits.
Selecting the Best Cartridge Combination
If you print mostly text, pairing a high-yield PG-645XL black cartridge with a standard CL-646 colour cartridge balances overall printing expenses. Choosing PG-645XL and CL-646XL bundle packs delivers the lowest overall cost per page. All compatible cartridges include a money-back guarantee if they fail to perform as expected.

Order your genuine or compatible Canon ink cartridges with confidence, backed by our straightforward returns policy.
Cartridge Tip for Tri-Colour Systems
Because the CL-646 tri-colour cartridge contains cyan, magenta and yellow ink in a single unit, replacing it becomes necessary as soon as any single colour depletes; selecting high-yield CL-646XL cartridges ensures maximum printable pages before exhaustion occurs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Canon PIXMA TR4560 use FINE cartridges with integrated printheads?
The Canon FINE cartridge system integrates the printhead mechanism directly into each PG-645 and CL-646 unit. Replacing the cartridge installs a fresh printhead each time, preventing long-term printhead wear and maintaining consistent text sharpness over the lifespan of the printer.
Can I install a PG-645XL black cartridge alongside a standard CL-646 colour cartridge?
Yes, standard and XL cartridges share identical physical external dimensions and lock into the same carriage slots. Mixing high-yield black with standard colour cartridges is a common approach for home office users who produce heavy text documentation with minimal colour graphics.
How does colour usage affect the CL-646 tri-colour ink cartridge?
Tri-colour cartridges hold three distinct ink chambers. Print jobs that use one dominant colour (such as yellow or cyan in office logos) deplete that specific chamber first, requiring a full cartridge replacement even if remaining colours still hold ink.
