What it is

What is a compatible Canon ink cartridge?

A compatible Canon ink cartridge is a cartridge made by an independent supplier and engineered for Canon inkjet printers. Compatibles certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 24711 deliver the same page yield as the Canon OEM cartridge with average savings of 70%.

Frequently asked questions

What customers ask us about compatible Canon ink

Which compatible Canon ink cartridge do I need?

Identify it by the cartridge reference (PG-540, PGI-570, CLI-571, PGI-2500XL) or by the printer model (Canon PIXMA TS5050, MG3650, MAXIFY MB5450). Each product page lists every compatible printer.

Why do some Canons take 2 black cartridges (PGI-570 BK + CLI-571 BK)?

Canon PIXMA TS and MG models with 5 cartridges use two different blacks: PGI-570 PGBK (pigment black, for text on plain paper, opaque, pigment-based ink) and CLI-571 BK (dye black, for photos, deeper, dye-based ink). They are NOT interchangeable, pigment is for text, dye is for photos. Both compatibles are available.

Does using compatible ink void my Canon PIXMA warranty?

No. Under Directive (EU) 2019/771 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015, you have the right to use third-party consumables without losing your statutory warranty. Canon could only invalidate the warranty by proving physical damage to the device, which does not happen with ISO 9001 certified compatibles.

What if my PIXMA does not recognise the compatible cartridge chip?

Some recent Canon models (especially TS series) may show "non-Canon cartridge". This is informational, the printer keeps working. To dismiss it: (1) Power off and back on. (2) Accept the on-screen message. (3) Some Canons need you to hold the Stop/Reset button for 5 seconds to confirm the non-original cartridge. Certified compatibles with a fresh chip are recognised automatically.

What is the difference between compatible PG-540 and PG-540XL?

PG-540 is standard (~180 BK pages at 5%) and PG-540XL is high yield (~600 BK pages, almost 4x more). Both fit PIXMA MG2550 and TS3450. Same logic for CL-541/CL-541XL and PG-545/PG-545XL.

How many pages does a compatible Canon cartridge print?

At 5% (ISO 24711): PG-540 ~180 / PG-540XL ~600; CL-541 ~180 / CL-541XL ~400; PG-545 ~180 / PG-545XL ~400; PGI-570 PGBK ~360 / PGI-570XL ~500; CLI-571 ~313 / CLI-571XL ~715; PGI-2500XL ~2,500 BK / ~1,520 colour.

What warranty do you offer on compatible Canon cartridges?

3 years total: 2 years statutory + 1 year voluntary Star Toner. Free replacement on defect.

How long does shipping take for the compatible Canon cartridge?

24-48 hours to mainland Spain. Orders placed before 14:00 with stock ship the same day.

Compatible Canon ink: save up to 70% on your PIXMA and MAXIFY

At Startoner you'll find compatible Canon ink cartridges for every PIXMA and MAXIFY series. Each reference is tested one by one and holds the same colours and yield as the original Canon cartridge, at a far lower cost per page. Whether you print documents, photos or flyers, cutting your ink cost is the fastest way to bring down your monthly print bill without changing printer.

Models covered: PG, CL, PGI and CLI

This collection groups the references most used in homes and small offices: PG-540 / CL-541 (PIXMA MG, MX, TS), PG-545 / CL-546 (PIXMA TS3150, TR4550, MG2550), PGI-570 / CLI-571 (PIXMA TS5050, TS6050, MG5750) and other compatible series. If you're not sure which cartridge your printer takes, search the exact model in the side filter or check our complete guide to ink cartridges.

Certified yield and 3-year warranty

Every Startoner Canon compatible cartridge declares its yield under ISO/IEC 24711 (pages per cartridge in colour inkjet), so you can compare page-for-page with the OEM before buying. Each order ships with a 3-year warranty (Consumer Rights Act 2015 + Directive (EU) 2019/771): if a cartridge fails, we replace it free of charge. To better understand the real saving versus buying OEM, read the real cost of printing.

Will compatible Canon cartridges work in my PIXMA without losing the warranty?

Yes. Using compatible cartridges does not void your Canon printer warranty: the European directive and the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU protect the consumer against clauses that force you to use single-brand consumables. If a Canon technician tells you otherwise, ask them to put the actual cause of the failure in writing.

What is the difference between PG-540 and PG-545 in my PIXMA?

They are physically different cartridges and not interchangeable. PG-540 (black) and CL-541 (colour) fit the MG2150, MG3550, MX475 family and similar, while PG-545 and CL-546 fit TS3150, TS3450, TR4550 and MG2550S. Always check the label on the cartridge you took out before ordering the replacement.

How many pages does a compatible Canon cartridge print?

It depends on the reference and on coverage. Under ISO/IEC 24711, a PG-540 XL is around 600 black pages at 5% coverage, a CLI-571 XL colour around 715 pages. Each product page shows the declared yield so you can compare with the OEM and work out your real cost per page.

How long does my Canon ink order take to arrive?

Orders confirmed before 14:00 ship the same day from our warehouse in Spain. Standard mainland delivery takes 24 to 48 hours with tracking. If you need the cartridge urgently for a job, contact us and we'll hold stock for the next logistics cut-off.
