Canon CLI-651XL Yellow Ink Cartridge (695-Page Yield)
The Canon CLI-651XL Yellow ink cartridge (SKU: CLI651XLY) is rated for 695 A4 pages (ISO/IEC 24711) and fits 13 confirmed Canon PIXMA printer models. It's a direct, single-colour replacement for the yellow ink slot on compatible PIXMA inkjet printers — not a bundle, not a black-ink cartridge.
Which printers it fits
This cartridge is confirmed compatible with the following Canon PIXMA models:
- Canon PIXMA iP7260, iP8760, iX6860
- Canon PIXMA MG5460, MG5560, MG5660
- Canon PIXMA MG6360, MG6460, MG6660
- Canon PIXMA MG7160, MG7560
- Canon PIXMA MX726, MX926
Check your printer's exact model number (printed on the front panel or in your printer's settings menu) against this list before ordering — CLI-651 and CLI-651XL cartridges are not interchangeable with older or newer Canon ink series.

What's included
One CLI-651XL Yellow ink cartridge only. This does not include the Cyan, Magenta, Black (CLI-651BK), or the larger PGI-650 Black cartridge that most of these PIXMA models also require for full-colour and text printing — if your printer takes both PGI-650 and CLI-651 series ink, you'll need to order those separately.
Why this is the right pick
Ordering by exact model number — rather than "which cartridge looks similar" — is the main way buyers end up with the wrong ink. This listing matches the CLI-651XL Yellow cartridge to its full, confirmed set of 13 PIXMA models and states its actual tested page yield, so you can check fit and expected print volume before you buy, not after it arrives.
Is this cartridge compatible with my Canon PIXMA printer?
It fits 13 Canon PIXMA models: iP7260, iP8760, iX6860, MG5460, MG5560, MG5660, MG6360, MG6460, MG6660, MG7160, MG7560, MX726, and MX926. Check your printer's exact model number before ordering.
How many pages does the CLI-651XL Yellow cartridge print?
It's rated for 695 A4 pages (ISO/IEC 24711 test standard). Actual yield varies with print coverage and content.
What's the difference between OEM, compatible, and remanufactured cartridges?
OEM (genuine) cartridges are made by Canon. Compatible cartridges are new, third-party-made. Remanufactured cartridges are used OEM cartridges cleaned and refilled. Each affects price, warranty, and ink quality differently.
Does this cartridge include black ink too?
No — this is Yellow only. Most compatible PIXMA models also need a separate PGI-650 Black (or CLI-651BK) cartridge, sold separately.
Can I use a CLI-651 (non-XL) cartridge instead?
Yes, it physically fits the same slot. The XL version holds more ink and yields more pages per cartridge, at a higher upfront cost but lower cost per page.
How do I know when to replace the yellow cartridge?
Your printer will show a low-ink or empty warning on its display, and prints may show faded or streaky yellow tones as ink runs low.
What happens if I install the wrong cartridge?
It typically won't install or will trigger an error rather than damage the printer. Always match the exact code (e.g. CLI-651XLY) to your printer first.
