The Canon CL-511 Color Ink Cartridge represents an elegant simplicity: one cartridge, three colors, everything you need for full-color printing. This genuine Canon Colour 511 Standard Yield Inkjet Cartridge uses Canon FINE (Full Photolithographic Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print heads for incredible crispness and detail, combined with uniquely formulated Canon ink providing exceptionally long-lasting prints under the Canon ChromaLife 100 system. For anyone using a Canon PIXMA iP or MP series printer from the 2010-2014 era, this single cartridge delivers the complete color palette you need to print beautiful photos, vibrant graphics, and colorful documents with confidence.

One Cartridge, Three Colors, Complete Print Freedom

Rather than managing three separate color cartridges, the CL-511 combines cyan, magenta, and yellow in a single 9ml cartridge. This single cartridge contains all of the colour ink you need to produce up to 244 A4 pages. It’s a practical approach to color printing that simplifies inventory, reduces installation complexity, and ensures color balance is always perfect — all three inks flow together as designed.

• Tri-color formulation combining cyan, magenta, and yellow in perfect balance
• 244 page yield from a single 9ml cartridge at standard 5% coverage
• Canon FINE technology delivering precise ink placement and sharp detail

Canon FINE Technology: Precision at the Nozzle Level

The Canon CL-511 FINE Color Ink Cartridge features Canon’s FINE (Full-Photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) technology, ensuring precise ink placement and vibrant color reproduction ideal for printing high-quality photos, vivid graphics, and colorful documents. FINE technology works at the microscopic level — each ink droplet is placed with precision, creating sharper edges, smoother gradients, and richer color saturation than standard inkjet technology achieves.

ChromaLife100: Fade-Resistant Color That Lasts

The ink inside this cartridge is part of Canon’s ChromaLife100 ink range which will reproduce documents and photos in outstanding detail, and when used with Canon photo paper the prints will be protected from age related fading for longer. This is more than marketing language — it’s a proven system. Pair genuine CL-511 ink with genuine Canon photo paper, and your prints stay vibrant and true for years. That family photo printed today will still look beautiful in a decade.
