Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this high-speed desktop office printer since Mar 2015. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance. Equipping your printer with high-yield PGI-2600XLBK black and PGI-2600XLC, PGI-2600XLM, and PGI-2600XLY tanks ensures fewer cartridge swaps during heavy print runs.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
Output targets for the PGI-2600 series are measured using ISO/IEC 24711 standard coverage tests. Office environments with heavy text printing deplete the black ink cartridge ahead of colour, making high-capacity XL cartridges the standard choice for keeping page costs low.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do PGI-2600 standard cartridges differ from PGI-2600XL high-yield options?
PGI-2600XL high-yield cartridges contain significantly more ink than standard PGI-2600 cartridges while maintaining identical external dimensions. They fit into the exact same slots inside the printer but yield substantially more printed pages, dramatically reducing the cost per page.
Can I mix genuine and compatible PGI-2600XL cartridges in the Canon MAXIFY MB5060?
Yes, you can install compatible PGI-2600XL cartridges alongside original Canon cartridges without error. The printer will recognise each cartridge independently and track individual ink levels accurately.
Why does my Canon MAXIFY MB5060 report low black ink while colour cartridges are full?
Text-heavy business documents consume black pigment ink at a much faster rate than cyan, magenta, or yellow. Keeping a spare PGI-2600XLBK black cartridge on hand prevents unnecessary downtime when printing high volumes of routine documentation.
