How much does Canon printer ink cost?

Most remanufactured cartridges for current PIXMA printers cost $6.99 to $28.99 each: for example, a CLI-271XL color tank is $6.99, a PGI-280XL black is $9.99, a PG-245XL black is $21.95 and a PG-285XL black is $28.99. Multipacks include the CLI-281XL 4-pack at $36.95, the PGI-270XL/CLI-271XL 5-pack at $49.95 and the PGI-280XXL/CLI-281XXL 5-pack at $59.95. That is up to 80% less than original Canon ink.

Cheap Canon ink: remanufactured, compatible or original?

Our Canon ink cartridges are remanufactured: used Canon cartridges that are cleaned, refilled with new ink and tested before they ship, so they fit and install like the originals. Our MegaTank ink bottles (GI-20, GI-21 and GI-290) are compatible, meaning newly manufactured. Original Canon cartridges cost the most. For a side-by-side look, read compatible vs. OEM ink for Canon printers.

When the cheapest cartridge is the wrong choice

The lowest sticker price is not always the lowest cost. A standard PG-245 is rated for about 180 pages and the PG-245XL for 300, so if you print more than a few pages a week, XL costs less per page. PG-243 and CL-244 fit the same printers as PG-245 and CL-246 but hold less ink. On PIXMA models with separate tanks (PGI-250, PGI-270, PGI-280), replace only the color that runs out rather than buying a full set, and buy a multipack when several colors are low. Model-specific savings guides: cheapest ink for the PIXMA MG3620 and cheapest ink for the PIXMA TR8620. To work out your own cost per page, try the printer ink cost calculator.

Standard, XL or XXL: which is cheaper per page?

The bigger size. Standard, XL and XXL cartridges in the same family are the same physical size and fit the same printers; the larger ones simply hold more ink. A PG-245 black is rated for about 180 pages; the PG-245XL for 300. If you print more than a few pages a week, XL or XXL costs less per page.

Cartridges with a built-in printhead vs. separate ink tanks

Canon uses two designs. PG and CL cartridges (PG-240, PG-243, PG-245, PG-275 and their CL color partners) have the printhead built into the cartridge, so every new cartridge brings a fresh printhead. PGI and CLI tanks (PGI-250, PGI-270, PGI-280 and their CLI partners) are ink-only; the printhead stays in the printer, and you replace just the color that runs out.
