Canon PIXMA MP190 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA MP190 uses the PG-37 and CL-38 ink cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable ink cartridges for this printer since Aug 2026. Designed as a compact all-in-one inkjet printer for everyday household documents and photo printing, it accepts standard PG-37 black and CL-38 tri-colour cartridges as well as high-capacity PG-40 and CL-41 options. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Understanding Cartridge Yields for Home Printing
Standard PG-37 black and CL-38 colour cartridges cater to light printing schedules, while PG-40 black and CL-41 colour options provide higher yield for busier households. Page output is measured under ISO/IEC standards for inkjet printing based on standard test document coverage.
| 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.
Best Options for Restocking Your Printer
If you print mainly text documents, choosing the PG-40 high-yield black cartridge delivers better long-term economy than standard PG-37 ink. If you print photos or mixed media, pairing PG-40 black with a CL-41 high-yield colour cartridge reduces frequency of replacement. Stocking a twin pack PG-37/CL-38 bundle ensures you have both cartridges ready when either runs out. We back all purchases with our returns policy, and fast dispatch is guaranteed from our warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 when ordering your Canon ink cartridges.
Cartridge Pro Tip
Because tri-colour cartridges (CL-38 and CL-41) combine cyan, magenta, and yellow ink into a single unit, printing heavily in one dominant colour depletes the entire cartridge sooner, so keeping a spare tri-colour unit on hand prevents sudden interruption to colour printing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix standard PG-37 black with high-yield CL-41 colour cartridges?
Yes, Canon PIXMA MP190 printers accept any combination of standard (PG-37, CL-38) and high-yield (PG-40, CL-41) cartridges in their respective slots.
What happens when one colour runs out in a CL-38 or CL-41 cartridge?
The integrated tri-colour cartridge requires replacement once any single colour channel empties, even if the other two colours still contain ink.
Why does replacing the cartridge also refresh print quality on the PIXMA MP190?
The PG-37, PG-40, CL-38, and CL-41 cartridges feature Canon FINE technology with printhead nozzles built directly onto the cartridge body, providing a fresh firing mechanism every time a cartridge is replaced.
