Canon Cartridges Australia

Canon is one of Australia's most popular printer brands, known for reliable inkjets at home and capable laser printers in the office. CartridgeHQ stocks the full range of Canon ink and toner cartridges, both genuine OEM and quality compatible options, with Australia-wide delivery on every order.

Canon Ink Cartridges

Canon's inkjet lineup uses several cartridge families depending on the printer series. Here's what you need to know about each one.

PG-645 / CL-646 Series

These are Canon's standard cartridges for entry-level PIXMA home printers. The PG-645 is the black cartridge and the CL-646 is the tri-colour. Both come in standard and XL versions. The XL variants print roughly twice the pages for less than double the price, making them the better value for regular use.

PG-680 / CL-681 Series

Used in the PIXMA TS series of printers, these cartridges come as individual colours: PGI-680 (pigment black), CLI-681 (cyan, magenta, yellow, photo blue, and black). Individual colour cartridges mean you only replace the colour that runs out. XL and XXL versions are available for high-volume users.

CLI-65 Series

Designed for the PIXMA PRO-200, the CLI-65 series uses eight individual ink tanks for professional-grade photo printing. These cartridges deliver exceptional colour accuracy and tonal range. They're the go-to choice for photographers and fine art printing.

PFI Series (imagePROGRAF)

Canon's PFI cartridges are used in their wide-format imagePROGRAF printers. These are professional production machines used by architects, engineers, and graphic designers. PFI cartridges come in large-capacity tanks suited to high-volume, large-format output.

Canon Toner Cartridges

Canon's laser printers use their own toner cartridge system, branded with the "CART" prefix. Popular series include:

  • CART-055 / CART-055H: Used in the imageCLASS MF740 and LBP660 series. Available in all four colours with standard and high-yield (H) options. These are popular in small to medium offices.
  • CART-067 / CART-067H: Found in the imageCLASS MF650 and LBP630 series. A reliable, compact colour toner set for smaller workgroups.
  • CART-046 / CART-046H: Used in the imageCLASS MF730 and LBP650 series. Standard and high-yield variants available in black, cyan, magenta, and yellow.

Canon toner cartridges are known for sharp text output and consistent colour reproduction across long print runs. The high-yield (H) variants offer significantly lower cost per page and are worth the extra upfront spend if you print more than a few hundred pages per month.

OEM vs Compatible Canon Cartridges

We stock both genuine Canon cartridges and compatible alternatives for most Canon printers. Genuine Canon cartridges are made by Canon and carry their branding. Compatible cartridges are made by third-party manufacturers to fit the same printers at a lower price.

For everyday home and office printing, compatible Canon cartridges deliver excellent quality at 50% to 70% less than OEM. For professional photography using the PIXMA PRO series, genuine Canon inks give you the precise colour profiles needed for gallery-quality output.
