Canon Pixma CL57s  Small Color Cartridge

Product Overview

When your Canon PIXMA printer starts running low on colour ink, replacing the cartridge with the correct model is essential for getting back to reliable colour printing. The Canon PIXMA CL57S Color Cartridge is designed for selected Canon PIXMA E-series printers and provides a convenient replacement for the colour cartridge used by compatible models.

The CL-57S uses dye-based colour ink and has a stated yield of up to 180 pages. Canon’s official specifications list the CL-57S as the standard colour cartridge for models such as the PIXMA E410 and E470, with a rated yield of 180 pages.

For Sri Lankan users who already own a compatible Canon PIXMA printer, this cartridge offers a straightforward way to restore colour printing without replacing the printer itself. Whether you are printing colour documents, school assignments, charts, presentations or images, having the correct replacement cartridge helps keep your printer ready for everyday use.

Key Benefits

Dye-based colour ink:
The CL57S uses dye-based ink, which is designed for colour printing and can help produce vibrant-looking colour output for everyday documents and images.

Up to 180-page yield:
The cartridge has a stated yield of up to 180 pages. Actual results can vary depending on the type of documents being printed, colour coverage, printer settings and other printing conditions.

Designed for selected Canon PIXMA printers:
The cartridge is compatible with specific Canon E-series models, including the E400, E410, E460, E470 and E480 according to the supplied product details.

Convenient colour replacement:
If your printer’s colour ink is depleted while the printer itself remains in good working condition, replacing the cartridge is a practical way to continue printing.

Suitable for everyday colour printing:
The cartridge can be useful for home users, students and small offices that occasionally need colour rather than relying entirely on black-and-white documents.

Features & Specifications

The supplied information also contains a separate 0.3 kg weight entry. Because these figures differ, the exact packaged or shipping weight should be confirmed against the current product listing if required.

Canon’s official specifications confirm that CL-57S is a colour ink cartridge with a rated yield of 180 pages for the PIXMA E410 and E470. Canon also lists an optional CL-57 colour cartridge with a higher 300-page yield for these models.

How It Works and Why It Matters

A colour ink cartridge does more than simply supply ink. It needs to be compatible with the printer’s cartridge system so that the printer can correctly deliver ink to the print head and produce the intended output.

The Canon PIXMA CL57S Color Cartridge Sri Lanka is designed for selected Canon PIXMA E-series printers. This makes checking your printer model before purchasing particularly important. Canon lists the PIXMA E410 and E470 among the printers that use the CL-57S colour cartridge.

The dye-based ink is intended for colour printing, making the cartridge relevant when your printing needs go beyond standard black text. Colour can make documents easier to read and presentations more effective, while images and graphics can be reproduced with the additional colour information they require.

The stated 180-page yield is another useful consideration. It gives buyers a reference point when planning replacement cartridges, but it should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every cartridge will print exactly 180 pages. A page containing a small amount of colour will generally use less ink than one containing large graphics or extensive colour coverage.

Canon also notes that actual printing performance can vary according to factors such as document complexity, print mode, page coverage, software and paper type.

Who Is It For?

The Canon PIXMA CL57S Color Cartridge is suitable for customers who already own one of the compatible Canon PIXMA printers and need a colour cartridge replacement.

It can be useful for:

• Students printing assignments, presentations, diagrams and study materials
• Home users printing colour documents, images and occasional personal projects
• Home-office users who need colour for reports, forms and presentations
• Small offices that use a compatible PIXMA printer for routine document printing
• Families using a compatible Canon printer for schoolwork and general household printing

If most of your printing is black text, you may not use colour ink as quickly. However, whenever colour is required, having a compatible CL-57S cartridge available prevents a depleted colour cartridge from becoming an unnecessary interruption.

Why It Makes Sense for Sri Lankan Buyers

For customers in Sri Lanka, choosing the correct cartridge is more important than simply selecting a cartridge from the same brand. Canon has multiple cartridge models, and compatibility depends on the exact printer.

The Canon PIXMA CL57S Color Cartridge Sri Lanka is a practical choice when your Canon PIXMA printer specifically supports CL-57S. The supplied compatibility list covers the E400, E410, E460, E470 and E480 models.

The 180-page rated yield is also useful for understanding the cartridge’s expected capacity. Someone printing occasional colour documents at home may find the capacity appropriate for their needs, while a customer printing large numbers of colour-heavy pages may need to replace cartridges more frequently.

Canon’s official PIXMA E410 specifications describe the printer as an all-in-one model supporting printing, scanning and copying, while listing CL-57S as its 180-page colour cartridge.

If you are looking for a printer rather than only replacement ink, Zoom360’s printer collection provides another option to explore.

What to Consider Before Buying

The first thing to check is your printer model. The supplied compatibility information lists:

• Canon PIXMA E400
• Canon PIXMA E410
• Canon PIXMA E460
• Canon PIXMA E470
• Canon PIXMA E480

Do not assume that every Canon PIXMA printer accepts CL-57S. If your printer model is not listed, verify compatibility before purchasing.

Next, consider whether you need a colour cartridge or a black cartridge as well. Compatible PIXMA printers using CL-57S may also use a separate black cartridge. For example, Canon lists PG-47 as the black cartridge for the E410 and E470, with a rated yield of 400 pages.

It is also worth considering your normal printing volume. The CL-57S has a stated yield of 180 pages, while Canon lists the optional CL-57 at 300 pages for the E410 and E470. If you print only occasionally, the standard CL-57S may suit your requirements. If your printing volume is higher, compare the available cartridge options for your exact printer.

For genuine Canon compatibility information, you can also refer to Canon’s official PIXMA E470 specifications.

Related Products & Accessories

The most relevant related product is the compatible black cartridge used alongside the CL-57S. Canon lists the PG-47 black cartridge with the E410 and E470, with a rated yield of up to 400 pages.

This can be useful if both your black and colour ink levels are getting low. Instead of replacing cartridges separately at different times, checking both cartridges can help you keep your printer ready for mixed colour and monochrome printing.
