Canon PG-545XL/CL546XL ink cartridge 2 pc(s) Original Standard Yield Black, Cyan, Yellow, Magenta

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £39 ex-VAT for a 2‑cartridge set (black plus colour), the Canon PG‑545XL/CL‑546XL “Original” option is only a good buy if you’re using a compatible Canon inkjet where these cartridges are the normal, hassle-free workflow. XL tends to make a real difference in cost-per-page versus standard inks, so if you print regularly (especially colour for decks, diagrams, or basic marketing material), you’ll feel the value rather than constantly reordering. The big practical win with genuine Canon is fewer headaches—better reliability, fewer “why is it streaking?” moments, and you’re less likely to run into head-cleaning spirals.

I’d hesitate if your printing is sporadic or mostly black text. In that case, XL can tie up cash and you risk the dreaded drying/clogging problem just because cartridges sit unused. Also, if you’re already seeing how ink spend stacks up across the year, it’s worth checking your machine model and comparing against compatible/third‑party reman options—those can be materially cheaper, though you trade some certainty for savings. Bottom line: buy this if you print enough to justify XL and want reliability; skip it if you print infrequently and you’re mainly chasing lowest cost per page.
