Why choose the genuine Canon CLI-551Y ink cartridge
Genuine Canon ink cartridge, formulated for the print head of these models: faithful colors, fast drying, no clogged nozzles. Pigment ink: sharp text, water and highlighter resistant. The printer recognizes the cartridge and shows the remaining ink level.
CLI-551Y or CLI-551YXL: which capacity?
The 6511B001 (347 pages) suits occasional or moderate use. For higher volumes, the 6446B001 (715 pages) costs less per page and is replaced less often; both fit the same printers. The 6443B008 pack lowers the unit cost further.
Printers compatible with the 6511B001
The 6511B001 is compatible with the following model (manufacturer data):
- PIXMA MG6350
Check the exact reference of your printer (label or Information menu); suffixes are variants of the same series and generally use the same consumables. If in doubt, send us the exact model.
Page yield
347 pages per ISO/IEC 24734 (5% coverage, letter-type documents). Graphics or photo-heavy pages reduce the actual yield. The cost per page shown next to the price is calculated from the current price and this yield.
Installation
Replace with the printer on: open the cartridge door, remove the empty cartridge, unpack the new one, remove the protection without touching contacts or nozzles, insert until it clicks and close. The printer detects the cartridge and runs an alignment if needed.
Use and tips
The 6511B001 suits a lightly used printer (letters, a few documents a week): the cartridge (347 pages) lasts about 3 months at 100 pages per month and about 1 months at 300 pages per month. Beyond that, the 6446B001 costs less per page.
Keep the printer plugged in and on: it maintains its nozzles and uses very little power in standby; print a color page regularly. Store cartridges in their packaging away from heat and install them before the printed date. Genuine cartridges protect the print head and the warranty.
