Canon PIXMA MG5760 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA MG5760 uses the PGI-670 / CLI-671 cartridge series, featuring a dual-black system that separates pigment text ink from dye photo ink. Having supplied consumables for this printer since Nov 2015, we notice users frequently deplete the pigment black tank faster during heavy document printing, while dye colours run down evenly during photo printing. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
Page yields for the PGI-670 pigment black and CLI-671 dye colour cartridges are measured under ISO/IEC 24711 standard testing conditions. Document coverage heavily influences real-world output, with pigment black handling text documents while dye inks are consumed during photo prints.

Pro Tip
Always leave both black cartridges (PGI-670 pigment and CLI-671 dye) installed even if you only print text; the printer requires active chips in all slots to complete regular automated maintenance cycles without error codes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this printer require two different black cartridges?
The PGI-670 is a pigment-based ink designed specifically for sharp, smudge-resistant text printing on plain paper. The CLI-671 is a dye-based ink used for photo printing and mixing shades on glossy media. Replacing one will not substitute for the other.
Can I mix genuine and compatible cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, individual slots operate independently. You can install a compatible CLI-671 colour cartridge alongside a genuine PGI-670 black cartridge without causing recognition errors or printhead damage.
Why does dye ink deplete even when printing black text documents?
During periodic printhead cleaning cycles, the printer purges small amounts of ink from all individual chambers—including colour dye tanks—to prevent tiny printhead nozzles from drying out and clogging.
