Canon PIXMA MP140 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA MP140 uses the Canon PG-37 and CL-38 ink cartridge series, a FINE cartridge system that integrates the printhead directly into the ink housing. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Sep 2009. Our 4.8 Google rating is built on dependable cartridge performance and uncompromising product quality. While PG-37 Black and CL-38 Colour suit casual home printing, stepping up to higher-yield PG-40 or CL-41 options lowers overall print costs.
Understanding Cartridge Page Output
Page yield for Canon FINE ink cartridges is measured using ISO/IEC 24711 standards for continuous printing of standard A4 text documents. Actual yield varies depending on image coverage, print density, and paper choice. Higher-capacity PG-40 and CL-41 cartridges provide greater page counts for routine home printing.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG-37 | Standard | Black | 219 | $0.13 |
| CL-38 | Standard | Colour | 207 | $0.10 |
| PG-40 | High Yield | Black | 329 | $0.13 |
| CL-41 | High Yield | Colour | 312 | $0.15 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing Compatible Ink Cartridges
Opting for compatible CL-41 colour cartridges allows home users to trim printing expenses without compromising everyday document clarity. Compatible options undergo thorough quality testing to match standard ink performance. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.
Choosing the Best Cartridge Setup
If you print mainly text documents, choosing high-yield PG-40 black cartridges ensures you change tanks less frequently. If you print photos or colour graphics, pairing PG-40 with high-yield CL-41 colour tanks gives better balanced depletion. Multi-packs pairing PG-37 and CL-38 provide an easy single-order solution for balanced replacement. Compatible cartridges include a money-back guarantee under our returns policy if they fail to perform.

Pro Tip
Because Canon PIXMA MP140 cartridges integrate the printhead directly into the cartridge unit, every cartridge replacement completely refreshes your print mechanism, making high-capacity PG-40 and CL-41 cartridges ideal for reviving crisp print performance after long periods of non-use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install high-capacity PG-40 and CL-41 cartridges in my PIXMA MP140 if it came with PG-37 and CL-38?
Yes. The PG-40 Black and CL-41 Colour cartridges share the exact same physical dimensions as the standard PG-37 and CL-38 tanks. They fit into the exact same slots inside the printer but hold more ink.
What happens if one colour runs out in the CL-38 or CL-41 tri-colour cartridge?
Because cyan, magenta, and yellow are contained within a single tri-colour cartridge, the entire unit must be replaced once any single colour is exhausted to maintain accurate colour balance.
Do Canon PG-37 and PG-40 black cartridges use pigment or dye-based ink?
Canon PG series black cartridges use pigment-based black ink, which provides sharp, smudge-resistant text printing on plain copy paper, making them ideally suited for schoolwork and home documentation.
