What's included
This pack contains 2 x PGI-650XL Black ink cartridges only. It does not include the CLI-651XL colour cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow or photo black), which are sold separately and are needed if your printer is low on colour ink too.
Why this is the right pick
Because this is a genuine Canon cartridge rather than a compatible or remanufactured alternative, it's built to the same manufacturing spec your printer expects — so you avoid the guesswork of third-party ink and get consistent print quality and reliable cartridge recognition by your printer. Buying the twin pack also means you have a spare cartridge on hand, so a business or office that prints regularly isn't caught out mid-run.
Is the Canon PGI-650XL Black Twin Pack compatible with my printer?
It's compatible with 13 Canon PIXMA models: iP7260, MG5460, MG5560, MG5660, MG6360, MG6460, MG6660, MG7160, MG7560, IP8760, IX6860, MX726, and MX926. Check your printer's exact model number before ordering, as PGI-650XL cartridges will not fit PIXMA printers outside this list.
What's the difference between a genuine, compatible, and remanufactured cartridge?
A genuine (OEM) cartridge, like this one, is manufactured by Canon to the printer maker's original spec. A compatible cartridge is a new, non-Canon-made cartridge designed to work as an alternative, while a remanufactured cartridge is a used Canon cartridge that's been cleaned and refilled. This twin pack is genuine Canon stock, not compatible or remanufactured.
How many pages does each PGI-650XL Black cartridge print?
Each cartridge is rated for 500 A4 pages, so the twin pack gives you roughly 1,000 pages of black printing combined. Actual page count will vary depending on what you're printing and your printer's ink settings.
What's actually included in this twin pack?
You get 2 x PGI-650XL Black ink cartridges only. It does not include the CLI-651XL colour cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, or photo black) — those are sold separately if your printer also needs colour ink.
Will this cartridge also work with printers that use the standard (non-XL) PGI-650?
The PGI-650XL and standard PGI-650 are designed to fit the same PIXMA printer models — the XL version simply holds more ink for a higher page yield. Always confirm your exact printer model against the compatibility list above regardless of which version you're replacing.
Do I also need CLI-651XL colour cartridges, or does this pack cover everything?
This pack only covers black. Most PIXMA printers in this compatibility list use black (PGI-650) and colour (CLI-651) cartridges separately, so if you print in colour you'll also need the matching CLI-651XL cartridges.
How is a twin pack different from buying two single PGI-650XL Black cartridges?
A twin pack is simply two genuine PGI-650XL Black cartridges sold together in one package — same cartridge, same fit, same yield per cartridge. Buying the twin pack just means you have a spare on hand without placing two separate orders.
