Canon PIXMA MG6360 Ink Cartridges
Your PIXMA MG6360 uses the CLI-651 / PGI-650 cartridge series. Our 4.8 Google Star rating highlights our commitment to delivering dependable cartridge options coupled with premium print performance. Ink Depot has supported users by supplying consumables for this printer since Feb 2013. The printing architecture incorporates a sophisticated 6-colour individual ink tank layout including a dedicated grey tank, a setup specifically optimised for handling crisp text documents alongside outstanding monochrome and colour photo prints. Managing running costs is straightforward due to the separate tank replacement method, though the system naturally coordinates micro-ink flushes from all ports during automated maintenance routines to keep the printhead clean.
Real-world cartridge yield and performance
Expected page delivery depends heavily on the volume of graphic elements, photo density, and background coverage text present in your daily print runs. Standard manufacturer test ratings are calculated according to industry standard continuous printing benchmarks for household inkjet systems, offering a reliable comparison metric based on steady dokumentation workloads rather than borderless full-bleed photo presentation prints.

Evaluating alternative consumable options
Maintaining vibrant photo colour depth and sharp documentation lines is simple when operating with original or premium alternative fluid formulas designed to interact properly with your imaging machinery. Under Australian Consumer Law, using certified alternative items does not automatically invalidate your system equipment assurances. Choosing factory original lines guarantees your fluid media maintains correct physical ink drying times to preserve optimal printing results, while our premium compatible lines deliver high performance at a lower overall operational cost.

Pro Tip
Never ignore the low ink warning for your grey cartridge even if you only plan on printing basic black-and-white text documents. The printer blends a small amount of grey and colour inks into grey scale and text printing to smooth out shading transitions and improve clarity; running completely dry can cause air pockets to lock the printhead nozzles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the functional difference between the large PGI-650 black and small CLI-651 black tanks?
The wider PGI-650 black cartridge contains a specialised pigment-based ink designed specifically for printing dark, sharp, and smudge-resistant text on plain office paper. The smaller CLI-651 black cartridge holds dye-based ink which is used primarily for rendering deep shadows and high contrast when outputting glossy photographs.
Why does this printer model require a separate grey ink cartridge?
The dedicated grey ink cartridge is a premium feature designed to significantly enhance mid-tone stability and neutralise unwanted colour casts in your prints. It allows for remarkably precise balance in black-and-white photography layouts and ensures subtle, professional shading gradients in colour images.
Can I mix a combination of genuine Canon and compatible ink cartridges together?
Yes, you can operate the printer using a mixed combination of original Canon and certified compatible cartridges at the same time. The microchips on our premium alternative tanks are designed to communicate perfectly alongside genuine tanks without causing system errors or calibration interference.
