Canon PIXMA TS8160 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA TS8160 uses the PGI-680 / CLI-681 cartridge family, with PGI-680 for black text and CLI-681 for colour printing. You can choose standard, XL or XXL cartridges depending on how often you print, with higher-capacity options offering better cost per page. XL and XXL cartridges are ideal for regular use as they reduce replacement frequency. Ink Depot stocks both genuine Canon and compatible cartridges for this model, giving you flexible pricing options. Multipack bundles are also available to help you save and keep all colours ready when needed.
The Canon PIXMA TS8160 uses a multi-cartridge system designed to keep print quality consistent while allowing you to replace only the colours you need. The PGI-680 handles sharp black text, while the CLI-681 range covers colour output.
When choosing between standard, XL, and XXL cartridges, it comes down to usage. Occasional printing suits standard sizes, but if you print regularly, XL and XXL cartridges deliver better long-term value by lowering your cost per page and reducing replacement frequency.
Compatible cartridges are available for this model and offer a cost-effective alternative to genuine Canon options. These are designed to meet performance expectations while helping reduce your printing costs. Under Australian Consumer Law, your printer warranty remains valid when using compatible cartridges.
For best value, consider multipack bundles. These ensure you have all required colours on hand and typically offer better pricing compared to buying individual cartridges.
