Canon PIXMA TS8220 Ink — PGI-280 / CLI-281 Cartridges

The Canon PIXMA TS8220 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 photo blue (up to 800 pages), CLI-281XXL yellow (up to 800 pages). Every compatible cartridge below fits the TS8220; prices start at $10.49, chips are new, and the lifetime warranty applies to all of them.

The Canon PIXMA TS8220 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. 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 TS8220?

Chip, ink and everyday use

Photo blue changes the TS8220's drain order: that sixth tank is spent only by photo printing, so it can sit full while pigment black empties on documents, or fade first in a run of prints. Each tank carries a new compatible chip, so levels show which pattern your printing follows. Documents print from pigment black; dye tanks cover color and photos. A refused tank usually needs reseating, contacts checked clean and dry. Keep unopened tanks upright and out of direct sunlight.
