Canon PG-585, PG-585XL, CL-586, CL-586XL Ink Cartridges
The Canon PG-585 and CL-586 series supplies the dual-cartridge system found in targeted home setups, including the PIXMA TS7760 Home printer. Available in both standard and PG-585XL or CL-586XL high-yield variants, these genuine cartridges feature an integrated printhead design. This mechanical configuration replaces the physical microscopic ink nozzles during every single cartridge change, eliminating long-term carriage maintenance and preventing the structural streak lines that often compromise household document output.
Document yield standards and replacement metrics
A clear difference exists between standard and high-yield reservoirs in this series. Canon calculates these specific totals using the internationally recognised ISO/IEC 24711 standard for continuous inkjet document printing.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG-585 | Standard | Black | 180 | $0.14 |
| CL-586 | Standard | Colour | 180 | $0.19 |
| PG-585XL | High Yield | Black | 300 | $0.11 |
| CL-586XL | High Yield | Colour | 300 | $0.15 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Practical advice on cartridge setups and distribution
Choosing the high-yield twin-pack options offers an immediate cost benefit compared to purchasing individual standard components. If your household printing is limited to occasional recipes or airline tickets, the standard-capacity PG-585 and CL-586 units prevent ink from drying out through non-use. For families managing regular school projects or heavy text documents, opting for the PG-585XL/CL-586XL value bundles reduces your upfront expenses.

Pro Tip
The tri-colour CL-586 or CL-586XL cartridge houses cyan, magenta, and yellow ink together within three distinct internal chambers. Printing images with a single dominant shade, such as a blue sky or a red logo, will completely exhaust one specific colour well while leaving the remaining two chambers full, requiring you to replace the entire physical unit regardless of the leftover ink.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix a standard PG-585 black cartridge with a high-yield CL-586XL colour cartridge in the same carriage?
Yes, the internal chamber capacity is the only physical variation between these variants. The external structural casing, alignment tracks, and electronic copper contacts are completely identical, allowing you to combine standard and high-yield versions within the printer slots simultaneously.
Why does my printer show a "low ink" warning immediately after installing a brand new genuine cartridge?
This situation occurs when the internal carriage sensors fail to read the chip data or if protective packing film remains on the cartridge base. Remove the cartridge, wipe the small copper electrical faceplate gently with a lint-free cloth to clear static, and firmly clip it back into place until it clicks.
Does the black PG-585 cartridge print high-quality glossy photographs?
No, the PG-585 black cartridge uses a thick pigment-based formulation optimised specifically for crisp, fade-resistant text on standard plain copy paper. When you select glossy photo paper settings, the printer intentionally bypasses the pigment black slot and blends the dye-based inks inside the CL-586 colour cartridge to generate deep shades.
