Replacing your Canon ink cartridges is a breeze!
This guide will walk you through the process for Canon printers using PG645 black and CL646 colour cartridges. These cartridges are compatible with Canon models MG2460, MG2560, MG2960, MG2965, MG3060, MX496, TR4560, TS3160, TS3165, TS3360, and TS3365.
Choosing Your Cartridges:
- Standard vs. High Yield: High yield cartridges (XL) hold more ink and offer better value for frequent printing.
- Genuine vs. Compatible: Genuine Canon cartridges offer consistent quality, reliable printing, and security updates for your printer. They are also recyclable through Canon’s program.
Replacing the Cartridges:
- Power on your printer and open the cover. The cartridge holder will move automatically.
- Locate the empty cartridge: Black (PG645) is on the right, colour (CL646) is on the left.
- Press down on the cartridge until it clicks, then remove it.
- Unpack your new cartridge and carefully remove the protective tape.
- Insert the new cartridge at an angle into the correct slot (color on left, black on right). Push it firmly until it snaps into place.
- Repeat steps 3-5 for the other cartridge, if needed.
- Close the cover. The printer may make cleaning noises.
Aligning the Print Head (Optional):
For optimal print quality, aligning the print head is recommended after replacing cartridges. Your printer will guide you through this process automatically.
Additional Tips:
- Avoid touching the electrical contacts or print head nozzle on the cartridges.
- Dispose of empty cartridges according to local regulations.
- Leave empty cartridges installed until you have replacements to prevent printing errors.
Why Choose Genuine Canon Cartridges?
- Quality Prints: Consistent, high-quality results.
- Reliability: Fewer clogs and jams for uninterrupted printing.
- Security: Maintain printer security with firmware updates.
- Environmentally Friendly: Recycle cartridges through Canon’s program.
