Canon PIXMA TS5060 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Canon PIXMA TS5060, which uses the Canon PGI-670 and CLI-671 ink cartridges series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Mar 2017. This compact 5-ink wireless inkjet printer relies on a dual-black system to handle both text documents and photo printing cleanly. Upgrading from standard PGI-670BK to high-yield PGI-670XLBK black cartridges significantly reduces routine cartridge swaps. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
Canon measures yield for the PGI-670 and CLI-671 series using standard ISO/IEC 24711 test pages for text and ISO/IEC 29102 for colour photo output. Document text relies heavily on the PGI-670 pigment black cartridge, while CLI-671 dye inks deplete unevenly based on image colour composition during photo printing.

Pro Tip
Ensure you do not confuse the pigment PGI-670BK black cartridge with the CLI-671BK photo black tank. The PGI cartridge uses pigment ink engineered specifically for crisp text on plain paper, whereas CLI-671BK uses dye ink designed for glossy media and photo shading.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Canon PIXMA TS5060 use two different black ink cartridges?
The printer uses a pigment-based PGI-670BK black ink for text printing on plain paper to deliver sharp, water-resistant characters. It uses a dye-based CLI-671BK black ink for photo printing to provide deeper contrast and smoother gradations on glossy photographic paper.
Can I install XL cartridges alongside standard capacity cartridges in this printer?
Yes. Canon PGI-670XL and CLI-671XL high-yield cartridges share the exact physical outer shell size as standard capacity cartridges. You can mix standard and XL capacity inks in any slot according to your replacement schedule.
Will the printer continue to print if one colour tank runs completely empty?
The printer will prompt an ink replacement warning once a cartridge depletes. Continuing to print with an entirely dry tank can cause printhead overheating or clogging, so replacing depleted CLI-671 colour tanks promptly maintains output consistency and protects thermal ink nozzles.
