Pro Tip
The PIXMA TR7560 uses two distinct black cartridges-PGI-680 (pigment) for plain paper text and CLI-681 (dye) for photo paper prints. Purchasing a PGI-680XXLBK extra-high-yield black is essential if your routine work consists primarily of office documentation, as the printer will not pull from the CLI-681 dye black tank when rendering standard plain text documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the PIXMA TR7560 require two different black cartridges?
The printer uses a 5-ink hybrid system where PGI-680 pigment black is used exclusively for sharp, smudge-resistant text on plain paper, while CLI-681 dye black is blended with cyan, magenta, and yellow to create deep contrast and tonal depth on glossy photo media.
Can I install a CLI-681XXL cartridge if my printer previously used standard CLI-681?
Yes, all standard, XL, and XXL variants in the PGI-680 and CLI-681 series share identical exterior cartridge physical dimensions. The XXL shell simply holds a larger internal ink reservoir, allowing it to fit into the exact same slot while yielding significantly more printed pages.
What happens if one colour cartridge runs out while printing colour documents?
Because the PIXMA TR7560 uses individual ink tanks for cyan, magenta, yellow, dye black, and pigment black, you only need to replace the specific colour that has depleted. The printer will prompt you when a single tank is empty without requiring you to replace any remaining full cartridges.
