Page yield expectations for MP270 cartridges
Standard PG-510 and CL-511 cartridges suit light household printing, while high-capacity PG-512 and CL-513 cartridges contain substantially more ink for lower per-page expenses. Page yields for these inkjet cartridges are calculated under standard ISO/IEC 24711 testing environments.
| 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.
Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Compatible PG-512 and CL-513 cartridges deliver comparable page yields to original Canon cartridges at a significantly lower purchase price. You can compare genuine and compatible cartridges to determine which option fits your budget.
Smart cartridge buying strategies
If you print mainly text documents, choosing high-yield PG-512 black ink cartridges reduces how frequently you replace your black cartridge. If you print mixed graphics or photos, multipacks containing both black and colour cartridges offer better overall value. All compatible cartridges come backed by a money-back guarantee if they fail to perform. Review our returns policy for complete details.

Pro Tip
Because the tri-colour CL-511 and CL-513 cartridges integrate Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow ink into a single unit, the entire cartridge must be replaced once any single colour depletes. Purchasing high-yield CL-513 cartridges gives you a larger ink reserve in all three chambers, preventing premature cartridge changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use high-yield PG-512 and CL-513 cartridges if my Canon Pixma MP270 originally came with PG-510 and CL-511?
Yes, PG-512 black and CL-513 tri-colour cartridges are physically identical in size to standard PG-510 and CL-511 cartridges. They fit into the exact same cartridge slots on your MP270 printer, but hold a significantly higher volume of ink.
What happens when one colour runs out in the CL-511 or CL-513 cartridge?
The CL-511 and CL-513 are integrated tri-colour cartridges, meaning all three colour inks reside within one shell. If any single ink chamber depletes, the entire cartridge needs replacing to maintain accurate colour rendering.
Can I install a genuine Canon PG-510 black cartridge alongside a compatible CL-513 colour cartridge?
Yes, your Canon Pixma MP270 operates with separate black and colour cartridge slots that function independently. You can mix genuine and compatible cartridges in the printer without encountering compatibility errors.
