Expert Buying Tip
The PIXMA TS706 uses dual black cartridges: PGI-680 contains pigment ink for crisp text on plain paper, whereas CLI-681BK uses dye ink for smooth shading in photos. Make sure you order PGI-680 when text output runs low, as the printer will not substitute CLI-681BK for standard plain-paper document printing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix standard PGI-680 and XXL CLI-681 cartridges in the PIXMA TS706?
Yes, all physical cartridge shell sizes in the PGI-680 and CLI-681 ranges share identical external dimensions and fit the same slots, allowing you to run standard, XL, and XXL sizes side by side depending on your usage.
Why does my PIXMA TS706 report low black ink when my photo black cartridge is still full?
The printer treats PGI-680 pigment black and CLI-681 dye black as distinct inks. Plain paper text documents rely almost exclusively on PGI-680, while photo printing and gloss media pull from CLI-681BK.
How do CLI-681XL ink cartridges differ in cost efficiency compared to CLI-681XXL?
CLI-681XXL cartridges contain substantially more ink than XL or standard cartridges, offering the lowest cost per page for high-volume colour output and reducing how frequently individual colour slots require changing.
