Canon PIXMA Home TS6360 TS6365 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA Home TS6360 and TS6365 printers use the PGI-680 and CLI-681 ink cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for these 5-ink photo and document printers since Dec 2019. Switching from standard PGI-680BK black tanks to high-yield PGI-680XXLBK cartridges significantly cuts printing costs for text pages, while CLI-681 colour tanks preserve photo output quality. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Managing Page Yields and Ink Usage
Canon tests page yields for PGI-680 document black cartridges using the ISO/IEC 24711 standard, while CLI-681 dye-based colour cartridges follow ISO/IEC 29102 photo print criteria. Selecting XXL high-yield options provides maximum page output and reduces how frequently individual colour slots require replacing.

Essential Cartridge Tip
Never leave an empty cartridge slot bare in your TS6360 or TS6365; keep depleted tanks installed until the exact moment you insert a fresh replacement to prevent printhead nozzles from drying out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the PIXMA Home TS6360 and TS6365 use the exact same ink cartridges?
Yes, both the TS6360 and TS6365 models belong to the same printer family and share identical PGI-680 and CLI-681 cartridge slots and ink specifications.
Why does the TS6360 printer require both PGI-680 and CLI-681 black cartridges?
The PGI-680BK is a large pigment-based black cartridge dedicated to sharp, smudge-resistant text on plain paper. The CLI-681BK is a dye-based black ink used specifically for rich contrast and tone in glossy photo prints.
Can I install PGI-680XXL or CLI-681XXL extra-large cartridges in my printer?
Yes, PGI-680XXL and CLI-681XXL cartridges share the exact physical exterior dimensions as standard PGI-680 and CLI-681 cartridges. The XXL variants simply contain a larger volume of liquid ink internally.
What happens when one CLI-681 colour cartridge runs out of ink?
The TS6360 uses independent colour tanks for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Photo Black. You only need to replace the individual colour that has run out, leaving the remaining full cartridges undisturbed.
