Canon PIXMA TS8820
Canon PIXMA TS8820 Ink — PGI-230 / CLI-231 Cartridges
The Canon PIXMA TS8820 prints with the PGI-230 / CLI-231 tank system: PGI-230 pigment black (up to 600 pages), CLI-231BK black (up to 600 pages), CLI-231C cyan (up to 800 pages), CLI-231GY gray (up to 800 pages), CLI-231M magenta (up to 800 pages), CLI-231Y yellow (up to 800 pages). Every compatible cartridge below fits the TS8820; prices start at $10.49, chips are new, and the lifetime warranty applies to all of them.
The Canon PIXMA TS8820 is the flagship six-tank PIXMA all-in-one — and the only printer built on the PGI-230 / CLI-231 system. This model carries the sixth Gray slot, so its cartridge list includes the Gray tank that smooths black-and-white photo tones. It also means a half-empty color never forces a full set change — you top up the one tank the printer is asking for. 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-230 / CLI-231 cartridges should you buy for the TS8820?
- PGI-230 Pigment Black Ink Cartridge — $10.49 · up to 600 pages — the document black; start here if you print mostly text
- CLI-231BK Black Ink Cartridge — $10.49 · up to 600 pages — the dye-based photo black, separate from the pigment tank and drained by pictures, not paperwork
- CLI-231C Cyan Ink Cartridge — $10.49 · up to 800 pages — cyan tends to flag low first in sky, water and other blue-heavy prints
- CLI-231GY Gray Ink Cartridge — $10.49 · up to 800 pages — only for models with a Gray slot
- CLI-231M Magenta Ink Cartridge — $10.49 · up to 800 pages — magenta fades early in warm skin tones and sunset-heavy prints
- CLI-231Y Yellow Ink Cartridge — $10.49 · up to 800 pages — the yellow beneath nearly every color mix, spent even by prints that look mostly blue or red

Chip, ink and everyday use
As the only printer on this tank system, the TS8820 sets its own consumption rules: gray serves black-and-white photo sessions, pigment black serves text, and the dye colors serve everything in between, so the spare you need depends on the work you print. Every cartridge carries a new compatible chip and levels report normally. If a fresh tank is refused, take it out, check the contacts are clean and dry, and click it back in. Store unopened tanks upright, away from direct sunlight.
