The Canon CP-13 Ink Roller is the genuine two-colour red and blue roller for a long list of Canon printing calculators, including the P23-DH and P23-DTS desktop models, the P170-DH and P120-DH, and the MP121-MG. It prints clear figures on the paper tape so your totals are easy to check.
Bookkeepers, retail counters and trade businesses rely on a printed tape for an audit trail. When figures start to fade, fitting a fresh Canon CP-13 Ink Roller brings back crisp, readable numbers in seconds, with no tools and no mess.

Why choose the genuine Canon CP-13 Ink Roller?
These are the practical benefits of a genuine Canon CP-13 instead of a non-genuine alternative:
- Clean, readable figures. Genuine Canon rollers carry the right amount of ink for crisp numbers without smudging the tape.
- Made for Canon calculators. The roller is sized and fitted for the Canon printing calculators listed below.
- Quick to swap. It lifts out and clicks in by hand in under a minute, with no tools needed.
- Protects the print mechanism. Correctly inked rollers avoid the dry running and ink pooling that wear out the print wheel.
It suits offices, shops and bookkeepers using a Canon P23, P170, P120 or MP121 series printing calculator every day.

One genuine Canon CP-13 Ink Roller in sealed Canon packaging, with Canon’s installation instructions.
Before you order: a quick checklist
- Confirm your calculator model appears in the compatibility list above.
- Check the code on your current ink roller reads CP-13.
- Check the ink roller model printed in your calculator’s manual or under the paper cover before ordering.
- Think about ordering a spare so you’re never caught out mid-job.
How long does it last?
An ink roller isn’t rated in pages. The Canon CP-13 Ink Roller lasts until the printed figures start to look pale, which depends on how much you print and how long the calculator sits unused. Our price is $3.78 including GST.
Get the most from your Canon CP-13 Ink Roller
- Print only the tapes you need to keep, and use the display for quick sums.
- Store spare rollers sealed in their packaging so they don’t dry out.
- Turn the calculator off when not in use so the print head rests in its parked position.
- Keep the calculator away from heaters and direct sun, which dry the roller faster.
How to install the Canon CP-13 Ink Roller
- Turn the calculator off and open the calculator cover above the paper roll.
- Lift the old ink roller straight out by its tab or with tweezers.
- Unwrap the new roller and press it gently onto the roller pin until it seats.
- Close the cover, switch on and print a test line to check the figures are clear.
Steps vary slightly between models, so check your calculator’s manual or the instruction sheet inside the box if anything looks different when fitting the Canon CP-13 Ink Roller.
Troubleshooting tips
If the Canon CP-13 Ink Roller isn’t printing as expected after installation, these quick checks solve most problems:
- Faint figures straight after fitting: Print a few test lines; a new roller can take a moment to spread ink evenly.
- Smudged or blotchy print: Check the paper roll is the right width and is feeding straight, and that the roller is fully seated.
- Paper not advancing: Re-thread the paper roll according to the calculator’s manual; the roller doesn’t feed paper.
Looking after your calculator between roller changes
- Switch the print function off when you only need on-screen figures, so the roller isn’t worn needlessly.
- Keep the paper cover closed to stop dust settling on the roller.
- Use plain adding-machine paper rolls of the width your calculator takes.
- Replace the roller as soon as print turns faint; an over-dry roller can mark the print mechanism.
Storage, handling and recycling
To keep a spare Canon CP-13 Ink Roller in top condition until you need it:
- Keep it sealed until needed. An opened roller slowly dries out, so open the pack only when you’re ready to fit it.
- Handle by the edges. Avoid touching the ink surface to keep fingers clean and the roller even.
- Store cool and flat. Keep spares away from heat and sunlight.
- Dispose of the old roller thoughtfully. Wrap the used roller before binning so ink doesn’t transfer to other items.

Choosing the right roller matters because Canon makes several sizes for its printing calculator range, and a roller from another series may not sit on the pin or may print unevenly. Pair a fresh roller with good-quality adding-machine paper in the width listed in your calculator’s manual, and keep the print cover closed between uses. Following those simple habits gives you crisp, legible tapes for reconciling the day’s takings, checking invoices and keeping a reliable paper record for your accounts.
Genuine vs non-genuine ink rollers
Compatible ink rollers can cost less up front, but quality varies a lot between brands. The Canon CP-13 Ink Roller is made by Canon for these calculators, is covered by Canon’s manufacturer warranty against defects, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law, and is designed to deliver its rated yield. Our article on OEM vs compatible printer cartridges compares the two in more detail.
Every ink roller we sell under the Genuine label is brand new and sealed in Canon retail packaging. If you’re ever unsure whether an ink roller is authentic, check the box for Canon’s security label and an intact factory seal, and buy from a supplier that lists the Canon part number.

Canon CP-13 Ink Roller FAQs
Is this Canon CP-13 Ink Roller genuine Canon?
Yes. It’s a brand-new, genuine Canon ink roller supplied in sealed Canon retail packaging, not a compatible or remanufactured product.
Which calculators use the CP-13?
It suits the Canon MP121-MG, Canon P170-DHII, Canon P170-DH and 10 more models. Check the full compatibility list above before ordering.
What is the Canon part number?
Look for the code CP-13 on the ink roller label or box.
How much does delivery cost?
Delivery is a flat $19.99 per order within Australia, no matter how many items you buy, and generally arrives 3–7 business days after dispatch.
Do you deliver to regional and remote areas?
Yes. We ship to every Australian state and territory at the same flat rate. Remote addresses can take a little longer. We don’t currently ship internationally.
Will I get tracking?
Yes. Tracking details are emailed to you once your order is dispatched, where the courier provides them.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes, let us know within 30 days of delivery. The ink roller needs to be unopened and unused, and change-of-mind return shipping is paid by the customer. Approved refunds are processed within 7 business days.
What if my CP-13 is faulty?
Contact us with your order number and a short description of the problem, plus photos if you can. We cover return shipping for faulty products and will arrange a replacement or refund in line with Australian Consumer Law.
How do I know when to replace the CP-13?
Replace it when printed figures become pale or patchy even though the paper is feeding correctly.
Does the CP-13 print in two colours?
Two-colour rollers print negative figures and totals in red; single-colour rollers print everything in one colour. Check which your calculator takes.
Can I re-ink an old roller?
We don’t recommend it. Re-inked rollers often over-saturate the paper and can smudge or clog the print mechanism, while a genuine roller gives even, clean figures.
