Canon PIXMA TS3520

Canon PIXMA TS3520 Ink Cartridges — PG-275 / CL-276

The PIXMA TS3520 is a compact wireless home all-in-one — the current TS shape, small footprint, phone-first printing, and it runs on the PG-275 / CL-276 FINE family: PG-275 black (up to 100 pages; no compatible cartridge sold for this code yet); PG-275XL black (up to 300 pages, $32.99); CL-276 tri-color (up to 100 pages; no compatible cartridge sold for this code yet); CL-276XL tri-color (up to 300 pages, $35.99). Every cartridge listed here is a Clever Supplies compatible, filled to the genuine specification and covered by our Lifetime Warranty.

On a TS3520, black does the daily lifting. This compact home machine prints in short bursts, mostly text, so black reaches empty first while the tri-color side lasts until color work piles up. The range here is the XL fill, since no compatible standard PG-275 or CL-276 is sold yet, and it suits single, black-first swaps. Looking after the printer is otherwise undemanding: two FINE cartridges, a new printhead inside each, and a machine left sitting will usually print again after a change rather than a repair. Reorder by the PG-275 / CL-276 codes, because cartridges from other Canon families carry a different chip and will not be recognized.

Which PG-275 / CL-276 should you buy?

Homework emptied the black: the PG-275XL Black Ink Cartridge ($32.99) sits in the PG-275XL holder by itself — up to 300 pages for the text pages this compact machine prints most.
A photo run emptied color: the CL-276XL Tri-Color Ink Cartridge ($35.99) occupies the CL-276XL holder by itself — up to 300 pages for snapshots and school projects in color.
Spares for steady printers: the PG-275XL CL-276XL Ink Cartridges Set of 5 ($157.43) keeps a working reserve weighted toward the side that empties first.
When neither side has ink: the PG-275XL CL-276XL Ink Cartridges Set of 2 ($65.97) replaces the two positions in one step — the answer when the pair run out side by side.

Chip, ink and everyday use

Let the TS3520 tell you which side to stock. A new compatible chip in every cartridge keeps the ink monitor honest, so the low warning reflects the cartridge your household printing has actually used up. Pigment ink in the black position gives documents their crisp, highlighter-resistant edge; dye ink in the tri-color position gives photos their color, two jobs that empty at two speeds. And since the printhead is part of the cartridge on every FINE model, swapping the tired side also swaps the printhead, the usual cure for missing lines. Keep the spare sealed in its pack until the day it goes in.
