Canon PIXMA TR7020

Canon PIXMA TR7020 Ink Cartridges — PG-260 / CL-261

The PIXMA TR7020 is a home-office all-in-one with an automatic document feeder and full wireless, built for document work, and it runs on the PG-260 / CL-261 FINE family: PG-260 black (up to 180 pages; no compatible cartridge sold for this code yet); PG-260XL black (up to 400 pages, $34.49); CL-261 tri-color (up to 180 pages; no compatible cartridge sold for this code yet); CL-261XL tri-color (up to 300 pages, $38.99). Every cartridge listed here is a Clever Supplies compatible, filled to the genuine specification and covered by our Lifetime Warranty.

In a TR7020, document batches decide which cartridge empties first. Feeder work leans almost entirely on black, so that side turns over regularly while color is spent sparingly and can sit for long stretches. A black spare kept ready, with color following its slower schedule, matches how this home-office machine is used. The system stays simple: two FINE cartridges, a new printhead in each, and an idle unit will usually come back with a fresh cartridge rather than a repair. Buy by the PG-260 / CL-261 codes only, since other Canon families use a different chip and will not be recognized; the XL fills are the replacements sold here.

Which PG-260 / CL-261 should you buy?

Black is the repeat order: the PG-260XL Black Ink Cartridge ($34.49) is the XL fill for the PG-260XL position — up to 400 pages before the feeder side of the machine asks again.
Color is the occasional order: the CL-261XL Tri-Color Ink Cartridge ($38.99) is the larger fill made for the CL-261XL position — up to 300 pages, suiting a side that waits between photo jobs.
For the drawer shelf: the PG-260XL CL-261XL Ink Cartridges Set of 5 ($172.50) keeps the next black change and a color change ready in one box.
Both positions together: the PG-260XL CL-261XL Ink Cartridges Set of 2 ($71.97) refreshes the pair in one purchase — the practical pick for a double empty.

Chip, ink and everyday use

With a TR7020, trust the monitor and replace on its schedule. A new compatible chip in every cartridge keeps ink levels honest, so the warning points to the side your document work has genuinely drained. Pigment black gives those documents their crisp, highlighter-resistant edge, while dye tri-color gives photos their color, and the two rarely run low together. Since the printhead is part of the cartridge on every FINE model, swapping the empty side also swaps in a fresh printhead, the usual cure for missing lines on these machines. Keep the spare sealed in its pack until the day it goes in.
