Ink cartridge Canon CLI-551C XL cyan 6444B001 content_copy

The Canon ink cartridge CLI-551XL C is an original ink for inkjet printers, specifically developed for use in various models of the PIXMA series. With the colour designation photo cyan and dye-based ink, it offers high print quality for documents and photos. The cartridge features high (XL) yield, meaning it enables a significantly higher page count compared to standard cartridges. According to manufacturer specifications, up to 665 A4 pages can be printed, in accordance with the ISO/IEC 24734 standard. This performance is achieved with an ink volume of 11 ml contained in the cartridge.

Applications

The ink is intended for use in PIXMA series printers, including models such as iP7250, iP8750, iX6850, MG5450, MG5550, MG5650, MG6350, MG6450, MG6650, MG7150, MG7550, MX725, and MX925. These devices are typically designed for home and office use, with the high yield of the cartridge being particularly beneficial for users with higher print volumes. The photo cyan colour is specifically optimised for reproducing colours in photo prints, resulting in natural and vibrant tones.

Functions and Features in Detail

The cartridge is equipped with the ChromaLife100+ system, which enhances colour brilliance and the longevity of prints. This system ensures that printed images and documents retain their colour quality over a longer period, even under direct sunlight. The dye-based ink often provides better colour compatibility and gloss effect compared to pigment inks, especially in photo printing.

Technology Explained Simply

The dye-based ink dissolves well in water during the printing process and allows for even distribution on paper. This results in sharp contours and fine details, particularly in text and high-resolution images. The high (XL) yield is achieved through a larger ink capacity, increasing the number of printed pages per cartridge. The stated 665 pages refers to the ISO/IEC 24734 standard, which represents a standardised method for measuring print performance. The cartridge is designed for operation at temperatures between 15 and 35 °C and relative humidity between 5 and 95 %. For storage, conditions should be maintained between 10 and 35 °C temperature and 5 to 95 % humidity to protect the ink.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cartridge is compatible with a wide range of Canon PIXMA models, as listed above. It is an original Canon ink, specifically developed for these devices. Using original accessories ensures optimal print quality and avoids potential issues during the printing process. The cartridge is delivered in a clear packaging, which makes the contents visible while protecting against contamination.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by inserting the cartridge into the corresponding slot in the printer. The cartridge is fitted with a specific chip that communicates with the printer and displays the remaining ink level. Installation is simple and requires no tools. The cartridge is typically inserted directly into the printer, where the printer automatically recognises and initialises the new cartridge.

Operational Advantages

The high (XL) yield reduces the frequency of cartridge replacements and lowers the cost per page. The dye-based ink provides good colour brilliance, especially in photo printing. The ChromaLife100+ system ensures longer durability of prints. The cartridge is suitable for use in offices and at home, where high print quality and efficiency are required. The packaging is compact and protects the cartridge from damage during storage and transport.
