Canon PIXMA MG6860 MG6865 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA MG6860 and MG6865 printers use the PGI-670 and CLI-671 ink cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for these models since Nov 2015. These 5-ink all-in-one printers use dedicated PGI-670 pigment black cartridges for sharp text documents alongside CLI-671 dye-based inks for vibrant photo printing. Upgrading to high-yield PGI-670XL and CLI-671XL options reduces cost per page during regular printing tasks. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.

Expert Buying Tip
Because the Canon PIXMA MG6860 and MG6865 use separate pigment black (PGI-670) and dye photo black (CLI-671) cartridges, always verify which black needs replacing before ordering-plain text printing primarily depletes the larger PGI-670 cartridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the PIXMA MG6860 and MG6865 use the same ink cartridges?
Yes, both the Canon PIXMA MG6860 and MG6865 share the exact same PGI-670 and CLI-671 ink cartridge series, including standard and XL yield variants.
What is the difference between PGI-670BK and CLI-671BK cartridges?
PGI-670BK contains pigment-based black ink designed specifically for crisp, smudge-resistant text on plain paper. CLI-671BK uses dye-based ink intended for glossy photo printing and rich dark tones in graphics.
Can I mix standard PGI-670 cartridges with XL CLI-671XL cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, standard and XL cartridges share identical physical dimensions and fit the exact same slots, allowing you to use XL inks for heavily used colours alongside standard inks for others.
Why does my yellow or magenta ink run out even if I mostly print black and white text?
Canon 5-ink printers periodically use small amounts of dye colour inks during automated background cleaning cycles to keep printhead nozzles clear and prevent clogs.
