Canon PIXMA TS7760 Home Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA TS7760 Home uses the PG-585, PG-585XL, CL-586, CL-586XL cartridge series, featuring a dual-cartridge system that splits your printing between a pigment black and a dye-based tri-colour cartridge. This printhead-integrated setup is engineered for home or student spaces where printing occurs intermittently, protecting the internal mechanics from drying out. Because colour ink replenishment relies on a single tri-colour unit, managing your design layouts prevents uneven colour depletion and ensures you extract maximum mileage from each cartridge.
Understanding your maintenance kit options
Beyond standard ink replacements, the ink collection system in this printer relies on the MC-G06 maintenance kit to store excess ink collected during automatic printhead cleaning cycles. This user-replaceable maintenance cartridge helps prevent ink overflows and extends the overall service life of the printer. Experience Tip: When your printer displays a maintenance box full message, simply pull out the old MC-G06 assembly from the rear compartment, slide in the new unit, and the printer will instantly auto-reset its internal waste ink counter.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
Canon determines the estimated page output for PG-585 and CL-586 cartridges using the industry-standard ISO/IEC 24711 guidelines for plain A4 paper. If you print primarily homework or simple documents, standardising on the PG-585XL and CL-586XL high-yield options provides more continuous usage between cartridge swaps. Because the tri-colour cartridge contains cyan, magenta, and yellow reservoirs in a single physical unit, printing documents dominated by a single primary colour can cause that colour channel to deplete first, necessitating a cartridge change even if other colours remain.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG-585 | Standard | Black | 180 | $0.14 |
| CL-586 | Standard | Colour | 180 | $0.19 |
| PG-585XL | High Yield | Black | 300 | $0.11 |
| CL-586XL | High Yield | Colour | 300 | $0.15 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage)

Pro Tip
Since the PG-585 and CL-586 cartridges have the printhead integrated directly onto the cartridge base, every swap gives you a completely brand-new printing mechanism. If your prints ever show persistent banding that cleaning cycles cannot fix, replacing the cartridge will immediately resolve the issue and completely restore your output clarity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a PG-585XL cartridge if my printer currently has a standard PG-585 cartridge inside?
Yes, standard PG-585 and high-yield PG-585XL cartridges have identical physical shapes and click into the exact same cartridge slots. The high-yield version is simply filled with a larger volume of ink at the factory, allowing you to print more pages before needing a replacement.
Why does the colour cartridge run out of ink when I only print black and white text?
The printer performs automatic printhead maintenance routines upon startup and shutdown to keep the nozzles hydrated and clear of dried ink residue. These routines draw small amounts of ink from both the black and the tri-colour cartridges, which means your colour cartridge will gradually deplete even if you only print monochrome text.
What happens if one of the three colours inside my CL-586 tri-colour cartridge runs out before the others?
Because the tri-colour cartridge houses the cyan, magenta, and yellow ink reservoirs within a single unit, running out of one colour will require you to replace the entire cartridge to resume colour printing. To prevent premature waste, try to vary your print jobs so that your graphic elements feature a balanced mix of colours.
