Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PGI-680 and CLI-681 black cartridges in the Canon PIXMA Home TR8660?
The PGI-680 is a larger cartridge containing pigment-based black ink designed specifically for sharp, smudge-resistant text on plain paper. The CLI-681 black is a smaller cartridge filled with dye-based ink used for shadow tones in photo prints and graphic documents.
Do CLI-681XXL extra high yield cartridges fit in the standard cartridge slots?
Yes, CLI-681XXL and PGI-680XXL cartridges share the exact physical dimensions and clip mechanism as standard PGI-680 and CLI-681 cartridges. They contain more ink inside the shell, fitting into the exact same printer carriage slots without modification.
Can I replace individual ink cartridges as they run out, or do I need to replace all colours together?
The PIXMA Home TR8660 features five individual ink tank slots, allowing you to replace only the specific colour cartridge that is depleted. The printer will continue operating as long as each slot contains a cartridge with sufficient ink.
