Page yields and expected cartridge usage
Canon calculates page yields for PGI-35 and CLI-36 cartridges based on ISO/IEC standards using standard 5% coverage test documents. Black PGI-35 cartridges deliver roughly 190 pages of text, while CLI-36 colour cartridges yield approximately 110 pages for general graphics and photos before requiring replacement.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PGI-35 | Standard | Black | 190 | $0.098 |
| CLI-36 | Standard | Colour | 109 | $0.31 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing compatible PGI-35 and CLI-36 cartridges
Choosing compatible options lowers your per-page printing costs significantly while keeping print performance sharp on documents and portable photos. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our genuine vs compatible cartridge guide to evaluate performance differences.
Ordering cartridges and delivery details
For high-volume mobile printing, compatible PGI-35 black and CLI-36 colour bundle packs provide the best value per page. If you print mainly document text, keep extra PGI-35 black cartridges on hand, whereas photo printing uses CLI-36 colour inks more evenly. Compatible cartridges carry a full money-back guarantee for complete peace of mind. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99. We dispatch fast from nationwide warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Explore our full range of Canon ink cartridges, and review our returns policy before purchasing.
Pro Tip
Because the CLI-36 is a tri-colour cartridge containing cyan, magenta, and yellow in a single tank, replacing the cartridge when one colour depletes ensures consistent colour accuracy for travel photos and presentation graphics.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do PGI-35 black and CLI-36 colour cartridges work together in the Canon PIXMA iP100?
The Canon PIXMA iP100 relies on a dual-cartridge system: the PGI-35 black pigment ink handles crisp text printing, while the CLI-36 tri-colour dye ink handles graphics and photo prints. Replacing them individually as they empty keeps your mobile printing operating efficiently.
Why does my Canon PIXMA iP100 run out of PGI-35 black ink faster than CLI-36 colour ink?
Standard document printing uses pigment black ink exclusively for text output, resulting in a higher consumption rate for PGI-35 cartridges. Colour ink from the CLI-36 tank is reserved for charts, photos, and mixed media.
Can I replace just the CLI-36 colour cartridge without replacing the PGI-35 black ink?
Yes, the Canon PIXMA iP100 allows you to replace the PGI-35 black and CLI-36 colour cartridges independently whenever either cartridge reaches low ink levels.
