Canon PIXMA MG3560 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Canon PIXMA MG3560, which uses the Canon PG-640 and CL-641 ink cartridge series. The MG3560 is a compact wireless all-in-one printer ideal for printing school projects, household admin, and photos. Ink Depot has supplied reliable consumables for this printer since Nov 2013. As demonstrated by our 4.8 Google rating, we are committed to providing premium consumable cartridges. Switching from standard PG-640 black ink to PG-640XL or high-capacity PG-640XXL options significantly reduces cost per page during routine document printing.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
Canon calculates page yield for PG-640 and CL-641 cartridges using ISO/IEC 24711 standard testing with continuous A4 document printing. Heavy text printing depletes black ink quickly, whereas photos draw evenly across the tri-colour cartridge. High-yield cartridges deliver considerably lower cost per page for routine printing tasks.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG-640 | Standard | Black | 180 | $0.14 |
| CL-641 | Standard | Colour | 180 | $0.19 |
| PG-640XL | High Yield | Black | 400 | $0.11 |
| CL-641XL | High Yield | Colour | 400 | $0.11 |
| PG-640XXL | Extra High Yield | Black | 600 | $0.081 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a PG-640XXL black cartridge alongside a standard CL-641 colour cartridge?
Yes, the PG-640XXL black cartridge operates seamlessly with any version of the CL-641 colour cartridge, including standard or XL sizes, as both slots function independently.
Why does my CL-641 tri-colour cartridge need replacement even if only one colour is empty?
The CL-641 integrates cyan, magenta, and yellow into a single cartridge housing. When any single colour channel depletes completely, the cartridge must be replaced to maintain correct colour reproduction.
Will the PG-640XL or PG-640XXL cartridges fit inside my Canon PIXMA MG3560 printer without modification?
Yes, all PG-640 and CL-641 series variants (standard, XL, and XXL) share the identical external dimensions and installation method in the MG3560 carriage.
