Canon CLI-65 Ink Cartridges

This page covers the CLI-65 family for 2 Canon printers: CLI-65 Photo Black, CLI-65 Magenta, CLI-65 Yellow, CLI-65 Gray, CLI-65 Photo Cyan, CLI-65 Photo Magenta, CLI-65 Light Gray, CLI-65 Cyan. Every Clever Supplies version is filled to the original specification and covered by a lifetime warranty.

The CLI-65 family is the eight-tank dye ink set of the PIXMA PRO-200 and PRO-200S, the current generation of Canon’s A3+ photo line. Each tank holds 12.6 ml; Canon publishes no page yield for photo inks, so think in finished prints rather than pages.

Chip, ink and everyday use

With eight CLI-65 tanks, the next replacement is whichever color your photographs have drawn down, and ink monitoring through the cartridge chip is what names it — day-to-day printing needs no workaround. If the printer ever reports a cartridge as unrecognized after a firmware update, remove it, restart the printer and refit it firmly; a cartridge that still refuses is replaced under the lifetime warranty. Run a nozzle check after any long idle period, and keep spares sealed until the day you fit them, so the spare you hold is the color that tends to go first.
