Expected Page Output and Print Yields
Standard PG-510 black cartridges yield approximately 220 pages, while CL-511 colour cartridges output around 244 pages under ISO/IEC standard testing conditions. Actual output varies based on document coverage, line density, and frequency of printing sessions.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG-510 | Standard | Black | 220 | $0.14 |
| CL-511 | Standard | Colour | 244 | $0.14 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Selecting the Right Cartridge Options
If your home setup mainly processes monochrome text documents, purchasing standalone PG-510 cartridges handles standard printing without unnecessary colour spend. For mixed home printing, opting for multipacks containing both PG-510 and CL-511 cartridges ensures both tanks refresh together. All purchases are backed by our returns policy.

Pro Tip for FINE Cartridge Systems
Tri-colour cartridges like the CL-511 integrate cyan, magenta, and yellow into a single unit; if one primary shade runs out during photo printing, the entire unit must be replaced, so keeping a spare multipack on hand prevents unexpected downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use high-yield PG-512 or CL-513 cartridges in the Canon PIXMA MP240?
Yes, high-yield PG-512 black and CL-513 colour cartridges are physical matches for the PIXMA MP240 ink slots, offering higher page outputs than standard PG-510 and CL-511 cartridges.
Why does my PIXMA MP240 report low ink when printing mostly black text?
Tri-colour CL-511 cartridges are periodically used during automatic printhead maintenance cycles, even when producing purely black documents, which gradually depletes colour reserves over time.
What happens when one colour in the CL-511 cartridge runs out?
Because the CL-511 is a combined tri-colour cartridge, running out of a single primary shade requires replacing the complete unit to maintain accurate colour rendering on future prints.
