Canon PIXMA TR7560 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA TR7560 uses the PGI-680 / CLI-681 cartridge series, featuring a dual-black ink system that uses pigment black for text and dye black for photos. As demonstrated by our 4.8 Google rating, we are committed to providing premium consumable cartridges. Having supplied consumables for this printer since Nov 2017, we notice users frequently deplete the dye inks unevenly depending on media type, making individual ink replacements necessary.
What to expect from each cartridge type
Page yields for the PGI-680 pigment black and CLI-681 dye inks are evaluated in accordance with ISO/IEC 24711 standards for continuous A4 printing. Because photo coverage consumes liquid substantially faster than basic text, high-volume graphic printing will result in faster depletion than declared standard page ratings.

What to know about compatible cartridges
Choosing compatible ink cartridges provides a budget-friendly solution without compromising output clarity or printer reliability. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. To understand performance, manufacturing differences, and reliability ratings between ink types, read our genuine vs compatible cartridges comparison guide.
Managing ink replacements effectively
Document-heavy users should opt for XXL pigment black cartridges to maintain a lower cost per page for regular office text. When printing mostly photos, colour inks drop at varying rates depending on image tones, making individual cartridge replacements more economical than bulk swapping. If selecting compatible ink options, they come backed by our full money back guarantee. Review our returns policy for total confidence.

Pro Tip
Do not mix up the PGI-680 pigment black and CLI-681 photo black slots; the PGI-680 is a physically wider cartridge containing pigment-based ink designed strictly for plain paper document text, while the CLI-681 black is dye-based for gloss photo media.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the PIXMA TR7560 use two different black cartridges?
The printer employs a hybrid ink system where the wider PGI-680 pigment black delivers crisp, water-resistant text on plain paper, whereas the CLI-681 dye black operates specifically on glossy photographic media to deliver deeper black density without smudging.
Can I install a CLI-681XXL cartridge if my printer currently uses standard CLI-681 cartridges?
Yes, standard, XL, and XXL cartridges share identical physical outer dimensions and click directly into the same printhead slot. The higher yield variants simply contain a larger internal ink reservoir.
Why are my colour cartridges draining even when I am only printing black text documents?
The printhead performs routine maintenance cycles using small amounts of ink from all chambers to prevent nozzle clogging. Additionally, graphics or fine print on web pages often blend dye colour inks with black to sharpen dark contrast areas.
