Canon PG-260 / CL-261 Ink: Common Questions

Which printers use Canon PG-260 / CL-261 ink?

Canon PIXMA TS5320, TS6420, TS6420a, TR7020. Our Find Ink by Printer page has a guide for each model.

Will remanufactured Canon PG-260 / CL-261 cartridges work in my printer?

Yes. Each cartridge is an original shell with a working chip, refilled and tested. Keep automatic firmware updates off so a future update can't block third-party cartridges, and if the printer shows a non-genuine-ink message, choose Continue. If a cartridge from us still isn't recognized, contact us and we'll replace or refund it under our 1-year guarantee.

Standard or XL: which should I buy?

XL in almost every case. The XL cartridges are the same physical size and fit the same slot, but hold more ink, so each printed page costs less. Standard cartridges only make sense if you print very rarely, since ink can dry out over long idle periods.
