Canon PIXMA TS6120

Canon PIXMA TS6120 Ink — PGI-280 / CLI-281 Cartridges

The Canon PIXMA TS6120 prints with the PGI-280 / CLI-281 tank system: PGI-280XXL pigment black (up to 600 pages), CLI-281XXL black (up to 6,360 pages), CLI-281XXL cyan (up to 800 pages), CLI-281XXL magenta (up to 800 pages), CLI-281XXL yellow (up to 800 pages). Every compatible cartridge below fits the TS6120; prices start at $10.49, chips are new, and the lifetime warranty applies to all of them.

The Canon PIXMA TS6120 is a PIXMA TS-series all-in-one (print, scan, copy). For a printer of this age the cartridge question matters more than the hardware question: the engine lasts for years when the tanks keep coming. Because each tank sits in its own slot, colors are replaced one at a time — and compatible tanks can be mixed with genuine Canon tanks in any slot.

Which PGI-280 / CLI-281 cartridges should you buy for the TS6120?

PGI-280XXL Pigment Black Ink Cartridge — $10.49 · up to 600 pages — the document black; start here if you print mostly text
CLI-281XXL Black Ink Cartridge — $10.49 · up to 6,360 pages — the dye-based photo black, separate from the pigment tank and drained by pictures, not paperwork
CLI-281XXL Cyan Ink Cartridge — $10.49 · up to 800 pages — cyan tends to flag low first in sky, water and other blue-heavy prints
CLI-281XXL Magenta Ink Cartridge — $10.49 · up to 800 pages — the magenta that portraits and warm-toned photos draw down steadily
CLI-281XXL Yellow Ink Cartridge — $10.49 · up to 800 pages — yellow quietly underpins most color mixes, so steady color work can empty it sooner than expected
PGI-280 / CLI-281 Set of 11 BCMY Ink Cartridges — $82.34 · 11 cartridges (BCMY) — eleven tanks: a full round plus spares for the tanks your printing drains first, held ready on the shelf
PGI-280 / CLI-281 Set of 5 BCMY Ink Cartridges — $44.93 · 5 cartridges (BCMY) — five tanks covering every standard slot once, the clean restock when low warnings arrive in a cluster

Chip, ink and everyday use

A shared TS6120 empties unevenly. Paperwork pulls hardest on the pigment black, photo printing works through the dye tanks, and quiet weeks may move nothing at all, so the sensible spare is the tank your household finishes. Every cartridge has a new compatible chip fitted and levels report normally. Documents print from pigment black; dye tanks cover color and photos. A refused tank needs reseating after a check that its contacts are clean and dry. Store spares upright, unopened, out of sunlight.
