Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Choosing compatible PG-640XL and CL-641XL cartridges offers budget-conscious printing without sacrificing text crispness or photo clarity. Our range of compatible alternatives delivers dependable results for everyday household printing. Learn how compatible cartridges compare to genuine products. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.
How to choose the right cartridge setup
If your print volume consists mostly of school reports and mono text documents, choosing the high-capacity PG-640XXL black cartridge keeps printing economical. For photo printing, pairing it with CL-641XL tri-colour cartridges prevents premature depletion. Discounted compatible alternatives include a money-back guarantee should you experience any issue.

Pro Tip
Because Canon FINE cartridges integrate the printhead into the cartridge itself, replacing a PG-640 or CL-641 unit installs a fresh printhead mechanism, restoring clean output if old cartridges suffer from stubborn clogging.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a PG-640XXL cartridge in the PIXMA MG2260 if it originally came with standard PG-640?
Yes. The PG-640XXL has the exact same exterior housing dimensions as standard PG-640 and PG-640XL cartridges; it simply contains a larger internal ink reservoir, allowing it to fit into the printer slot without issue.
Why does my CL-641 colour cartridge report empty when only one colour has run out?
The CL-641 is a single tri-colour cartridge housing cyan, magenta, and yellow ink chambers. Because all three colours share one physical casing and electronic chip, the printer flags the cartridge as empty once any individual chamber is depleted.
Does the PG-640XXL black cartridge print faster or better quality than standard PG-640?
Print speed and resolution remain identical across PG-640 standard, XL, and XXL variants. The higher capacity variants only increase page yield and lower the cost per page, making XXL the best choice for high-volume text printing.
