Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Cartridges
Compatible PG-40, PG-50, CL-41, and CL-51 cartridges offer a cost-effective alternative for everyday printing without compromising text clarity or colour vibrancy. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our detailed genuine vs compatible cartridges guide to decide which option best fits your printing habits.
Smart Buying Choices and Nationwide Delivery
If you print mainly text, opting for high-capacity PG-50 cartridges reduces the need for frequent replacements. If you print photos or colour graphics, choosing high-yield CL-51 tanks or PG-40/CL-41 bundle packs provides better overall balance. Budget-conscious users can opt for compatible alternatives, which include a money-back guarantee backed by our returns policy.

Cartridge Pro Tip
Because Canon FINE cartridges house the printhead nozzles directly on the cartridge unit, replacing an exhausted PG-40 or CL-41 cartridge installs a brand-new printhead mechanism, instantly resolving faint text or micro-banding issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use high-capacity PG-50 and CL-51 cartridges in my Canon PIXMA iP2400 if it originally came with PG-40 and CL-41?
Yes, PG-50 black and CL-51 colour cartridges share the exact physical dimensions as standard PG-40 and CL-41 cartridges. They fit into the same printer slots but contain significantly more ink for extended printing runs.
What happens if one colour in the CL-41 or CL-51 tri-colour cartridge runs out first?
Because the CL-41 and CL-51 are integrated tri-colour cartridges housing cyan, magenta, and yellow in a single unit, the entire colour cartridge must be replaced once any single ink reservoir is depleted to maintain accurate colour rendering.
Why does the PG-40 cartridge feature an integrated printhead mechanism?
Canon FINE cartridge technology integrates the printhead nozzles directly onto the PG-40 and CL-41 cartridge bodies. Every time you insert a replacement cartridge, you refresh the printing nozzles, preventing long-term clog issues common in fixed-head home printers.
