Pro Tip
Always ensure you install pigment black (PGI-680) and dye black (CLI-681) into their correct respective slots. The TR7660A relies exclusively on PGI-680 pigment ink for crisp text on plain paper, while CLI-681 dye black is reserved for shading in photo printing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use PGI-680XXL and CLI-681XXL cartridges if I previously used standard versions?
Yes, XXL high-yield cartridges share the exact same physical dimensions and slot installation points as standard cartridges. They simply contain a larger volume of ink to deliver more prints before needing replacement.
Why does the Canon PIXMA HOME TR7660A require two different black ink cartridges?
The printer uses a dual-black ink system. PGI-680 pigment black produces sharp, water-resistant text on plain office paper, while CLI-681 dye black blends with cyan, magenta, yellow, and photo blue inks for smooth shading on glossy photo media.
What is the purpose of the Photo Blue (CLI-681PB) cartridge?
Photo Blue reduces graininess in high-key photographic images, particularly across blue skies and subtle skin tones, ensuring smooth tonal gradations on glossy photo paper.
