Ink cartridges for Canon Pixma MG5450 - compatible and original OEM

Canon Pixma MG5450 – a versatile home photo printer

Canon Pixma MG5450 (also found as Canon MG5450 or Canon MG5000 Series, code 6225B008) is a popular all‑in‑one inkjet printer built for everyday documents and great-looking colour prints. It’s well known for sharp text, smooth photo gradients and convenient home use. To keep that quality consistent, it’s worth choosing the right ink for Canon Pixma MG5450—whether you prefer Original OEM cartridges or a reliable compatible alternative.

What ink does the Canon MG5450 use and why it matters

This model works with the Canon system based on PGI‑550 (pigment black for crisp text) and CLI‑551 (colour inks and photo black for rich images). Choosing the right ink cartridge for Canon MG5450 affects not only colour accuracy and text sharpness, but also printing comfort—fewer interruptions, fewer cleaning cycles and more predictable results.

In our category you’ll find both Ink Cartridges and a dedicated Printhead, so you can maintain the printer properly even if issues go beyond standard cartridge replacement.

Compatible and Original OEM – choose what fits your printing style

We offer two clear options for ink for Canon Pixma MG5450:

• Original OEM – Canon-branded cartridges designed by the manufacturer for maximum colour fidelity and full compatibility.
• Compatible – high-quality alternatives. Our compatible cartridges from the DrTusz.pl offer are made to match the printer’s requirements and deliver results that are as good as originals, while helping you reduce printing costs—especially with XL versions.

If you print often (school materials, invoices, study notes, photos), compatible XL cartridges are a practical way to keep pages flowing without overspending. If you need strict brand continuity (e.g., colour‑critical photo sets), Original OEM may be your go-to.

How to choose the right ink cartridge for Canon MG5450

When selecting ink for Canon MG5450, we recommend a simple checklist:

• Match the codes: PGI‑550 for pigment black text, CLI‑551 for colours and photo black.
• Choose XL if you print more: XL cartridges reduce replacement frequency and are usually more economical per page.
• Consider multipacks: CMYK packs prevent running out of a single colour mid‑project and usually offer better value.
• Pick Original OEM or Compatible based on priorities: Original OEM for brand continuity; Compatible from our offer for excellent quality at a lower cost.

Common MG5450 printing issues – and what usually helps

Users of Canon Pixma MG5450 printers sometimes report issues that are typical for inkjet devices. The good news: many of them are easy to resolve with the right supplies and maintenance.

• Faded colours or missing lines – often linked to clogged nozzles or air in the ink path. A nozzle check and cleaning cycle helps; if the problem persists, consider whether the printhead needs attention.
• Black text looks grey – verify you’re using PGI‑550 (pigment black) for documents; it’s designed for crisp text on plain paper.
• Frequent cartridge replacements – switching to XL versions or a CMYK multipack can significantly improve convenience and cost per page.
• Persistent quality problems after cleaning – in rare cases, replacing the printhead with Canon QY6‑0082 may be the proper fix, especially if the printer has seen heavy use.
