Canon PIXMA MP160 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Canon PIXMA MP160, which uses the Canon PG-40 and CL-41 ink cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this all-in-one printer since Jan 2006. Replacing standard PG-40 black or CL-41 tri-colour units with high-yield PG-50 and CL-51 options reduces cartridge changes during regular home office tasks. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability.
Expected Output and Cartridge Yields
Page yields for PG-40 and CL-41 cartridges are measured under ISO/IEC 24711 testing standards using continuous print testing. Upgrading to PG-50 black or CL-51 colour cartridges provides significantly more prints before depletion, helping lower ongoing costs for frequent document printing.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG-40 | High Yield | Black | 329 | $0.13 |
| CL-51 | High Yield | Colour | 545 | $0.050 |
| 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 Between Genuine and Compatible Inks
Opting for compatible PG-40, PG-50, CL-41, or CL-51 cartridges provides a practical way to manage everyday printing expenses. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our detailed genuine vs compatible cartridge guide to learn how third-party options match official ink specifications.
Ordering Strategy and Dispatch Options
If you print mainly text documents, choosing high-yield PG-50 cartridges ensures longer intervals between replacements. If you print photos or graphics, pairing a PG-40 or PG-50 black with a CL-51 colour unit maintains balanced output across tri-colour channels. Our compatible inks include a money-back guarantee under our returns policy for complete peace of mind. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99. We dispatch fast from warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Browse our full selection of Canon ink cartridges to stock up today.
Smart Buying Tip
Tri-colour cartridges like the CL-41 and CL-51 contain cyan, magenta, and yellow ink in a single physical unit. If one colour runs out during heavy graphic printing, the entire cartridge must be replaced, so keeping a spare colour unit on hand prevents print job halts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a high-yield PG-50 or CL-51 cartridge in place of a standard PG-40 or CL-41?
Yes. The high-capacity PG-50 and CL-51 cartridges share identical exterior dimensions with standard PG-40 and CL-41 cartridges. They fit directly into the printer carriage while holding extra ink inside.
How does an integrated printhead cartridge system perform over time?
Because PG-40 and CL-41 cartridges feature integrated printhead nozzles on the cartridge body itself, replacing an exhausted cartridge installs a brand new printhead simultaneously, restoring print crispness every time you replace the ink.
What happens if one colour runs dry in the CL-41 tri-colour cartridge?
The CL-41 houses cyan, magenta, and yellow in separate internal chambers. When any single colour chamber empties, overall colour balance degrades, requiring a replacement cartridge even if remaining colour chambers still contain ink.
