The Canon PIXMA TS8120 is a PIXMA TS-series all-in-one (print, scan, copy). This model carries the sixth Photo Blue slot, so its cartridge list includes the Photo Blue tank alongside the five standard tanks. Owners tend to keep these printers a long time, and the separate-tank layout is a big reason why — nothing is thrown away before its time. The tanks are all individual: replace each color as it runs dry, and feel free to run genuine Canon and compatible tanks side by side.

Chip, ink and everyday use
Photo work gets an extra tool on the TS8120: its sixth Photo Blue tank widens the color side, while documents remain pigment-black work and the standard dye tanks handle everyday color. Each of the six tanks carries a new compatible chip, so levels report normally slot by slot. If a tank is not recognized, reseat it until it clicks, restart the printer, and wipe the gold contacts with a dry lint-free cloth. Store all spares sealed and upright.
