Canon PIXMA Home TS6360 TS6365 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA Home TS6360 TS6365 uses the PGI-680 / CLI-681 ink cartridge series. This five-ink system is designed for photo and creative home use, utilising a dedicated PGI-680 pigment black for sharp document text alongside four CLI-681 dye-based colours for vibrant image reproduction. Because this printer separates the pigment black from the photo black, you will likely notice the PGI-680 requires more frequent replacement if you print mostly documents, whereas the CLI-681 colours will deplete more evenly during high-resolution photo tasks.
Stocking and Delivery Options
If you frequently print borderless photos or graphic-heavy school projects, selecting XXL cartridges or value bundles is the most effective way to manage your ink supply. We ship directly from local warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide to ensure your creative projects are never stalled by an empty tank.

Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Page yields for the PGI-680 and CLI-681 series are determined by Canon using the ISO/IEC 24711 and 24712 standards for A4 documents. For photo-specific cartridges like the CLI-681XXLPB, yields are based on the ISO/IEC 29102 standard for 10x15cm photo printing. Real-world results will vary depending on your colour coverage and cleaning cycles; however, the XXL variants offer a significant increase in capacity, which is ideal for reducing the physical number of cartridge swaps during high-volume periods.

Pro Tip
The PIXMA Home TS6360 uses a separate "Photo Black" (CLI) and "Pigment Black" (PGI). If your text documents start to look faded or grey but your photos look perfect, check your PGI-680 levels first, as the printer prioritises the larger pigment black tank for standard paper printing to ensure smudge-resistant text.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix different capacities like an XL Black with standard Colour cartridges?
Yes, the TS6360 and TS6365 individual ink slots accept any size within the series. You can install a PGI-680XXL pigment black for your heavy text printing while keeping standard CLI-681 cartridges in the colour slots if you rarely print photos.
What is the difference between the CLI-681BK and the PGI-680BK?
The PGI-680BK is a larger tank containing pigment-based ink designed specifically for sharp, permanent text on plain paper. The CLI-681BK is a dye-based ink used for adding depth and contrast to photographs and graphics. They are not interchangeable.
Why does my yellow ink seem to run out faster than other colours?
In photo printing, yellow is often used more heavily to create skin tones and bright landscapes. If you find one specific colour depletes faster, we recommend buying that specific CLI-681 colour in an XXL capacity while keeping the others as standard to balance your replacement cycle.
