Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use PGI-650XL and CLI-651XL cartridges if I previously used standard PGI-650 cartridges?
Yes, XL cartridges share identical external dimensions with standard cartridges and snap into the exact same slots inside your Canon PIXMA MG5560 printer. They simply contain more ink for extended print output.
Why does the Canon PIXMA MG5560 use two different black ink cartridges?
The printer uses a dual-black system where the larger PGI-650BK pigment black cartridge delivers sharp, smudge-resistant text on plain paper, while the CLI-651BK cartridge provides smooth dark tones during photo printing on glossy media.
Do I need to replace all colour cartridges at the same time?
No, individual colour slots allow you to replace only the specific CLI-651 cartridge that has run out, helping you avoid wasted ink and unnecessary replacement costs.
