Pro Tip for Canon PIXMA Ink Cartridges
Never replace the large PGI-680 pigment black cartridge with a CLI-681 photo black cartridge when printing text documents. The PGI-680 provides water-resistant pigment ink specifically formulated for plain paper text, whereas CLI-681 dye black is reserved for photo paper and glossy media.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PGI-680 and CLI-681 black cartridges?
The PGI-680 is a large pigment-based black cartridge engineered for sharp, smudge-resistant text on plain paper. The CLI-681 is a smaller dye-based black cartridge used strictly for photo printing and dark tonal shading on glossy media.
Can I mix standard, XL, and XXL CLI-681 cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, you can mix standard, XL, and XXL capacity CLI-681 and PGI-680 cartridges in any combination. They share identical physical dimensions and locking clips, differing only in the volume of ink contained inside.
Do I need to replace all colour cartridges at once when one runs out?
No, the Canon PIXMA TS6260 uses individual ink tanks. You only need to replace the specific colour cartridge that is depleted, preventing ink waste across remaining tanks.
