Canon PIXMA TS8160 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon PIXMA TR7560 uses the PGI-680 / CLI-681 ink cartridge series, featuring a dual-black system that separates pigment black for document printing from dye-based colours for images. Having supplied consumables for this printer since Nov 2017, we notice users frequently deplete pigment black faster during regular office tasks while colour tanks wear down evenly. Our 4.8 Google rating is built on dependable cartridge performance and uncompromising product quality.
Expected page output and replacement cycles

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my PIXMA TR7560 have two different black ink cartridges?
The PGI-680 is a large pigment-based ink tank used exclusively for crisp text on plain paper, whereas the CLI-681 is a dye-based black ink used for photo printing and color document shading.
Can I install an XXL cartridge if my printer originally came with standard cartridges?
Yes, standard, XL, and XXL cartridges share identical physical outer dimensions and click into the exact same slot inside the printhead assembly; the higher-capacity versions simply hold more ink internally.
Why does my colour ink drop even when printing plain black and white text?
The printer uses small amounts of dye-based colour ink during periodic maintenance cycles to keep the printhead nozzles clear and prevent permanent clogging.
