Canon PIXMA TS9565 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA TS9565 uses the PGI-680 and CLI-681 cartridge series, a sophisticated five-ink system designed for a mix of document and creative work. By separating the pigment black for crisp text from the dye-based colours for vibrant graphics, this printer ensures efficient ink distribution. Because creative projects and A3 printing naturally consume more ink than standard documents, most users find that the individual ink tanks allow for more precise replacement, only swapping out the specific colour that has been depleted.
Choosing the right cartridge setup
Managing five different ink tanks requires a strategic approach, especially if you use the A3 capabilities of the PIXMA TS9565. For frequent printing, the XXL high-yield cartridges offer the most stable performance, as they reduce the frequency of maintenance cycles triggered by cartridge changes. If you mostly print photos or colourful craft projects, purchasing the multi-pack bundles is the most reliable way to maintain a full palette. We ship all orders from our local warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide to ensure prompt arrival.

Expected page output and replacement cycles
The page yields for this series are determined by the ISO/IEC 24711 and 24712 standards for inkjet printing. These standards help provide a baseline for comparison, though actual usage on the PIXMA TS9565 often varies. Users printing large-format A3 documents will likely see lower yields than the standard A4 ratings. The PGI-680 pigment black is generally consumed faster during text-heavy office tasks, while the CLI-681 dye colours are drawn upon primarily for image-heavy creative work.

Pro Tip
Always keep a spare CLI-681 Black (the smaller dye black) on hand. While the larger PGI-680 handles your text, the smaller black is essential for photographic contrast; if it runs out mid-print, the printer will pause, even if your large black tank is full.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix standard, XL, and XXL cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, the PIXMA TS9565 is designed to accept any combination of the PGI-680 and CLI-681 capacities. You might choose an XXL for your most-used colour and standard yields for those you rarely use without causing any system conflicts.
What is the difference between the two black cartridges in this printer?
The larger PGI-680 contains pigment ink, which is formulated for sharp, smudge-resistant text on plain paper. The smaller CLI-681 contains dye-based ink, used specifically for adding depth and shadow to photos and graphics. They are not interchangeable as they serve different technical purposes.
Why are my colour inks depleting even though I only print in black?
The PIXMA TS9565 performs routine maintenance cycles to keep the printhead nozzles clear. These cycles use a small amount of ink from every tank, including the colours, to ensure the heads do not clog or dry out between uses.
