Canon PIXMA MG6360 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA MG6360 uses the PGI-650 / CLI-651 ink series, featuring an individual 6-ink tank system including dedicated pigment black, dye black, cyan, magenta, yellow, and grey. Supplying consumables for this printer since Feb 2013, we understand photo-centric output depletes grey and photo black unevenly compared to document printing. Our 4.8 Google rating is built on dependable cartridge performance and uncompromising product quality.
Page yield expectations and ink behaviour
Photo output relies heavily on grey ink to balance tonal transitions, which depletion rates reflect differently than standard document printing. Yields are calculated under ISO/IEC 24711 standards for mono/colour text prints, whereas full-colour ISO/IEC 29102 photo standards show variable consumption based on image density.

Pro Tip

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my grey ink cartridge run out even when printing black and white text?
The printer driver utilises the dedicated CLI-651 grey ink alongside pigment black to smooth out tonal gradients and reduce graininess, even on plain paper black-and-white print jobs.
Can I install high-yield XL cartridges alongside standard yield ones?
Yes, standard PGI-650/CLI-651 and high-yield PGI-650XL/CLI-651XL cartridges share identical physical tray dimensions and can be mixed in any combination across the printhead.
What is the distinction between the PGI-650 black and CLI-651 black cartridges?
PGI-650 contains pigment-based ink designed for crisp, water-resistant text on plain paper, while CLI-651 photo black contains dye-based ink intended to provide deep blacks on photo paper.
