Product Information

Full details

The Canon PG-545XL/CL-546 ink cartridge multipack is an essential printing solution for home users, students, and small office workers who rely on Pixma MG series printers for daily documentation and photo printing. By pairing a high-yield black cartridge with a standard tri-colour cartridge, this set provides a reliable balance of sharp, professional text and vibrant, high-quality images. While it offers excellent clarity and durability for standard projects, users should note that it is restricted to specific Canon Pixma models and requires careful handling to prevent print head clogging.

FAQs

Are these cartridges refillable?

These cartridges are designed as single-use items with an integrated print head. Refilling them is not recommended as it may damage the print head and lead to poor print quality.

Does the CL-546 contain all three colours?

Yes, the CL-546 is a tri-colour cartridge containing cyan, magenta, and yellow ink in a single housing.

How do I know if my printer is compatible?

Check your printer's model number against the manual or the list of compatible Pixma MG series printers provided by the manufacturer.

What should I do if the printer does not recognize the new cartridge?

Turn the printer off, unplug the power cord for 30 seconds, plug it back in, and restart. If it persists, remove and re-seat the cartridges.

How should I dispose of empty cartridges?

Canon offers ink cartridge recycling programs. Please check the local Canon website for information on mail-in recycling or drop-off locations.

Troubleshooting

Printer displays an ink cartridge error

Remove the cartridges and use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the gold electrical contacts. Reinstall them firmly until you hear a click.

Streaks or faded lines on prints

Run the 'Print Head Cleaning' or 'Deep Cleaning' cycle via your printer maintenance menu to clear any potential air bubbles or dry ink.

Colours appear incorrect

Perform a 'Nozzle Check' through your printer utility software to see if one specific colour is blocked. Clean the print heads if the test pattern is incomplete.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-yield black ink extends time between replacements
  • Integrated print head technology simplifies maintenance
  • Produces professional-grade text clarity
  • Easy installation process within compatible printers
  • Consistent colour saturation for image printing

Cons

  • Tri-colour cartridge requires replacement even if only one colour runs out
  • Compatibility limited strictly to specific Canon Pixma models
  • Lower yield on the colour cartridge compared to the high-yield black

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, open the ink compartment cover of your Pixma MG printer. Once the carriage stops moving, remove the empty cartridges by pressing down on them. Carefully slide the new cartridges into their respective slots—the black cartridge fits into the right slot and the colour cartridge into the left. Ensure they click firmly into place.

To maintain longevity, avoid touching the gold-coloured contacts or the print head nozzles. If you are not printing frequently, we recommend running a self-test page at least once a month to prevent the ink from drying inside the nozzles. Always store your spare cartridges in a cool, dark, and dry environment.
