Designed for high-definition image printing, this 6-colour printer utilises a dedicated CLI-651 grey ink alongside pigment black and photo inks for smooth monochrome tones.

Pro Tip
Pay attention to grey ink depletion: the CLI-651GY cartridge blends into both black-and-white prints and subtle colour shading, meaning monochrome photos deplete grey faster than standard black pigment ink.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Canon PIXMA MG6360 have two different black ink cartridges?
The printer uses PGI-650 pigment black for crisp, smudge-resistant text on plain paper, while CLI-651 photo black is a photo ink designed to blend smoothly onto glossy photo paper. They serve completely different printing functions and cannot be interchanged.
Can I replace standard CLI-651 cartridges with CLI-651XL high-yield versions?
Yes, CLI-651XL cartridges share the exact same external cartridge dimensions as standard CLI-651 cartridges and slot into the same printhead positions, but hold up to double the ink volume.
What happens if the CLI-651GY grey ink runs out while printing?
Because the PIXMA MG6360 relies on grey ink to balance colour depth and produce neutral black-and-white photographic tones, the printer will pause printing until the grey cartridge is replaced to prevent colour skewing.
