Canon PIXMA TS706 Ink Cartridges
Your PIXMA TS706 uses the PGI‑680 & CLI‑681 ink cartridge series. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance. We have been supplying consumables for this printer since Aug 2019, catering to text and photo tasks with its dual-black setup. Black ink manages heavy text duties, while individual colour cartridges handle images, causing uneven depletion rates based on your daily document types.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
Text documents primarily draw from the large PGI-680 pigment black cartridge, while graphics and photos rely on the CLI-681 series. Page yields are determined using the international ISO/IEC 24711 standard for inkjet printers, ensuring reliable consistency across standard document sets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the PGI-680 and CLI-681 black cartridges?
The PGI-680 is a wider cartridge filled with pigment black ink, engineered specifically for sharp text documents on plain paper. The CLI-681 is a smaller cartridge containing dye-based black ink, which blends with the colours to provide deep contrast and rich tones in photo printing.
Can I mix different capacities like standard, XL and XXL cartridges in the printer?
Yes, you can install a combination of standard, XL and XXL cartridges simultaneously. Each slot accommodates any yield size within its specific series number, allowing you to buy extra-large capacities for the colours you deplete fastest.
Why does my CLI-681 black cartridge run down when I only print text?
The printer performs routine maintenance cycles using all installed cartridges to prevent printhead nozzles from clogging. Additionally, standard plain paper settings occasionally blend small amounts of dye colour and black ink to enrich grey gradients.
