Canon PIXMA MG6660 Ink Cartridges
The Canon PIXMA MG6660 is a versatile, photo-centric home all-in-one printer utilising a high-performance five-ink system to produce striking colour images and crisp text documents. We have been supplying replacement consumables for this reliable wireless multifunction unit since Nov 2014, helping families and creative enthusiasts maintain flawless print quality. Our 4.8 Google rating demonstrates our commitment to exceptional local service and stocking dependable cartridges. By deploying individual reservoirs for each colour, the system ensures you only replace the specific shade that runs dry, reducing unnecessary waste.
High-Performance Five-Ink Engineering
The architectural layout of the PIXMA MG6660 relies on separate channels for clear text generation and smooth photo reproduction. It isolates tasks between a dedicated larger pigment black tank (PGI-650) for permanent document prints and a dye-based ink setup (CLI-651) for vibrant colour gradations. Deciding between standard or high-capacity XL structures allows you to customize your cartridge volume based on daily domestic printing workflows. High-yield XL variants extend your production timeline considerably between maintenance installations.

Pro Tip
The PIXMA MG6660 relies on a built-in sensor to detect individual cartridge insertion and status. When installing alternative or original tanks, press firmly on the top of the housing until you hear a definitive physical click and witness the built-in red light activate on the cartridge body. If the light flashes rapidly or remains unlit, gently release the locking clip, pull the tank straight up, and check that the orange protective shipping tape has been completely removed before re-seating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix genuine Canon inks with compatible cartridges in the MG6660?
Yes, you can operate a mixed configuration safely inside this printer. The internal microchips track remaining ink fluid levels independently for each chamber, meaning a compatible black tank will work side-by-side with original Canon cyan, magenta, or yellow tanks without causing electronic or structural issues.
What is the mechanical difference between PGI-650 and CLI-651 black inks?
The PGI-650 is a wide, high-volume cartridge containing specialized pigment formulation intended strictly for rendering dense, smear-resistant black text on plain copy paper. The CLI-651 is a slim, dye-infused cartridge used for matching colour depth in graphics, shadows, and gloss-coated photo prints.
Why does my printer run out of colour ink when I only print text sheets?
The printer automatically conducts quick operational head-cleaning routines when starting up or resuming from power-saving modes. These cycles clear microscopic blockages by pulling minor amounts of ink through all nozzles—including the colours—into an internal maintenance pad to protect printhead health.
