Canon PIXMA TS3522
Canon PIXMA TS3522 Ink — PG-275 / CL-276
The PIXMA TS3522 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.
A TS3522 rarely needs both cartridges on the same day. Phone-first home printing mixes quick text pages with occasional color jobs, and black absorbs the bulk of it, so replacements come one at a time, black first. The XL cartridges are the compatible option here, as no compatible standard PG-275 or CL-276 is sold yet, and the bigger fill fits single-swap refills. The FINE layout keeps things light: two cartridges, a fresh printhead in each, and an idle machine that typically revives with a change, not a repair. Buy by the PG-275 / CL-276 code; similar cartridges from other Canon families use another chip and will not be recognized.
Which PG-275 / CL-276 should you buy?
- Black faded first: the PG-275XL Black Ink Cartridge ($32.99) handles the PG-275XL side single-handedly — up to 300 pages before the hard-working black slot is due once more.
- Color faded at last: the CL-276XL Tri-Color Ink Cartridge ($35.99) looks after the CL-276XL side single-handedly — up to 300 pages, a longer stretch for the cartridge that sips ink.
- A shelf-ready bundle: the PG-275XL CL-276XL Ink Cartridges Set of 5 ($157.43) holds the refills a steady household goes through, mostly black.
- Both cartridges together: the PG-275XL CL-276XL Ink Cartridges Set of 2 ($65.97) puts both cartridges in with a single buy — right for the moment both levels bottom out.
Chip, ink and everyday use
For the TS3522, watch the black gauge and keep color as the slow spare. Every cartridge in this family carries a new compatible chip, so the printer reads ink levels normally and warns before a cartridge runs dry. The black cartridge is pigment, sharp, smudge-resistant text, and the tri-color cartridge is dye for bright photo color, which is why document-heavy weeks drain one side and leave the other nearly untouched. On FINE printers the printhead lives inside the cartridge, so a fresh cartridge is a fresh printhead and clears streaks and gaps that cleaning cycles leave behind. Keep spares sealed until install day; an opened FINE cartridge can dry at the nozzle plate.
