Ink cartridges for Canon Pixma iX6500 - compatible and original OEM

Canon Pixma iX6500 – a wide-format printer made for ambitious projects

Canon Pixma iX6500 (also searched as Canon iX6500, Canon IX6000 Series, iX6500 or IX6500) is a popular A3+ inkjet printer designed for users who expect more than basic home printing. It’s valued for sharp graphics, smooth photo-like colour transitions and the ability to print large documents, posters, CAD-style drafts or marketing materials. To keep this quality consistent, you need the right ink for Canon Pixma iX6500—and in our store you’ll find both Original OEM and top-quality compatible ink cartridges tailored to this model.

What ink cartridges does Canon Pixma iX6500 use?

The Canon Pixma iX6500 works with the proven cartridge set: PGI-525 BK (pigment black for crisp text) and CLI-526 inks for colour printing. Depending on what you print, you may need photo black, cyan, magenta, yellow and even grey for better tonal balance. Choosing the correct ink cartridge for Canon Pixma iX6500 means stable colours, clean lines and fewer interruptions during printing.

• PGI-525 BK – deep, durable black for documents and sharp text
• CLI-526 BK (Black Photo) – smoother blacks and gradients in graphics and photos
• CLI-526 C/M/Y – accurate colour reproduction for everyday and creative printing
• CLI-526 G (Gray) – improved monochrome balance and subtle shading

Printing results you can rely on: documents, graphics, photos

Whether you print invoices, school materials, photo projects or A3+ presentations, the right ink for Canon iX6500 keeps output consistent from the first page to the last. With well-matched cartridges you get:

• clean, readable text with strong contrast,
• stable colours and smooth gradients in charts and images,
• better control over monochrome and grey tones (especially with CLI-526 G),
• reduced risk of streaks caused by running a cartridge too low.

Compatible or Original OEM ink for Canon Pixma iX6500 – what do we recommend?

We offer two proven options: Original OEM cartridges from Canon and carefully selected compatible ink cartridges. Original OEM ink is the manufacturer’s solution—ideal if you want to stick strictly to Canon’s own consumables. Our compatible cartridges are a cost-effective alternative, and we select them so that they deliver results that are as good as the originals—clear prints, strong colours and dependable performance in everyday use.

When choosing between compatible and Original OEM ink cartridges for Canon Pixma iX6500, consider:

• What you print most – text-heavy documents benefit from a strong PGI-525 BK; photos and graphics use more CLI-526 colours.
• Your printing frequency – if you print regularly, multipacks are convenient and help avoid downtime.
• Your budget – compatible cartridges can significantly reduce cost per page without sacrificing quality.

Common user issues with Canon Pixma iX6500 and how the right ink helps

In our experience, most printing problems are related to consumables or day-to-day operation rather than the printer itself. For Canon Pixma iX6500, users most often report:

• Faded prints or colour shifts – usually caused by an empty or near-empty cartridge (often one colour in CMY). Replacing the correct CLI-526 ink restores balance.
• Missing lines or streaks – may appear when ink runs low or after long breaks in printing. Keeping a spare set helps you react quickly.
• Unexpectedly fast colour usage – common when printing graphics/photos; a multipack of ink for Canon Pixma iX6500 is the easiest way to stay prepared.
