Do Canon 545 and 546 cartridges dry out if not used often?
Like all inkjet cartridges, Canon ink can dry out if left unused for long periods. Printing occasionally helps maintain ink flow and reduces the chance of blocked nozzles. Genuine Canon ink is designed to minimise clogging when used as intended.
How long does Canon 545 ink last?
Ink lifespan depends on how often you print and the type of documents produced. Many users replace Canon 545 cartridges every few months with regular home use. XL cartridges last longer due to their higher ink capacity.
Can I use compatible or refilled cartridges instead?
All cartridges on this page are genuine Canon products. While compatible cartridges may be cheaper, genuine Canon ink is engineered specifically for your printer model and helps maintain optimal performance, print quality, and reliable operation.
