Canon PIXMA TS6060 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA TS6060 uses the CLI-671 / CLI-671XL / PGI-670 / PGI-670XL series, combining pigment black for crisp text with dye-based inks for vivid photo output. Having supplied original cartridges for this printer since Mar 2017, we find that users frequently exhaust the large PGI pigment black cartridge far quicker than photo colour tanks during document-heavy printing cycles. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my PIXMA TS6060 show black ink is low when I only print photos?
The printer uses two separate black cartridges. Photo printing exclusively consumes the dye-based CLI-671 BK cartridge to blend with cyan, magenta and yellow, whereas text documents use the larger PGI-670 pigment black cartridge.
Can I mix standard and XL cartridges in the same printer at the same time?
Yes, standard and XL cartridges share identical physical dimensions and connector profiles. You can run an XL pigment black cartridge alongside standard capacity colour cartridges without issue.
What happens if one colour cartridge runs completely empty?
The PIXMA TS6060 print engine will stop printing to protect the microscopic nozzles in the permanent print head from overheating. You must replace the depleted colour cartridge before any printing or scanning operations can resume.
