Canon PIXMA TS5320

Canon PIXMA TS5320 Ink Cartridges — PG-260 / CL-261

The PIXMA TS5320 is a compact wireless home all-in-one — the current TS shape, small footprint, phone-first printing, 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.

On a TS5320 the two sides never empty together. Short mixed jobs from a phone, a form here and a photo there, drain black fastest, so this page leans on the XL fills: no compatible standard PG-260 or CL-261 is sold yet, and the larger fill stretches the time between swaps. Ownership stays simple, with two FINE cartridges and a new printhead inside each one, which is why a TS5320 left sitting usually wakes up with a fresh cartridge rather than a repair. Stick to the PG-260 / CL-261 codes when reordering; similar cartridges from other Canon families use a different chip and will not be recognized.

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

Black ran dry first: the PG-260XL Black Ink Cartridge ($34.49) fills the PG-260XL position on its own — up to 400 pages before the side home printing wears down fastest needs another.
Color ran dry: the CL-261XL Tri-Color Ink Cartridge ($38.99) places the CL-261XL fill on its own — up to 300 pages from the side kept for photos and color pages.
Keep a spare set ready: the PG-260XL CL-261XL Ink Cartridges Set of 5 ($172.50) keeps backup cartridges on hand in the black-heavy mix these printers actually use.
Both sides at once: the PG-260XL CL-261XL Ink Cartridges Set of 2 ($71.97) replaces black and tri-color in one go — the right move when both warnings are on.

Chip, ink and everyday use

Spares for a TS5320 work best one side at a time. Each cartridge arrives with a new compatible chip, so the ink monitor stays honest and flags the side that your printing has actually worn down. That split is built into the inks: pigment in the black position for crisp, highlighter-resistant documents, dye in the tri-color position for photo color. And because the printhead is part of the cartridge on FINE models, replacing the empty side also replaces its printhead, the usual fix for missing lines. Leave the spare sealed in its pack until the day it goes in.
