Frequently Asked Questions for Canon Pixma TS6220 Ink Refill

a. What ink does Canon ts6220 use?

The Canon PIXMA TS6220 printer uses five ink cartridges. They include a Canon PGI-280 black, a Canon CLI-281 black, a Canon CLI-281 cyan, a Canon CLI-281 magenta, and a Canon CLI-281 yellow ink cartridges. You need to install each black and color ink for the TS6220 to print properly.

 All five Canon Pixma ink are available in standard, high yield XL, and extra high yield XXL cartridge sizes. High yield Canon PGI-280XL and CLI-281XL ink cartridges can print almost 2x more per tank than standard Canon PGI-280 and CLI-281 ink. Extra high yield Canon PGI-280XXL and CLI-281XXL ink cartridges, meanwhile, can print almost 3x than their standard versions.

b. Is Canon XL ink worth it?

Is purchasing a Canon XL ink worth it? The answer will depend mainly on your printing needs and preferences. XL cartridges have more ink than standard cartridges, which means they can print more pages per round. The high yield Canon CLI-281XL ink cartridge, for instance, can print up to 2,280 pages while a standard yield Canon CLI-281 ink cartridges print 750 pages.

But because they have more ink and better page yield, Canon XL cartridges are more expensive than standard cartridges. However, they also have a lower cost per page (CPP), making them the more cost-effective option between the two. If you’re someone who prints frequently and wants to lower costs, you won’t go wrong using Canon XL cartridges.

c. What is the difference between PGBK and BK ink?

PGBK and BK inks differ mainly in their intended use as well as features. The PGBK ink can resist smudging, making it ideal for printing texts and fine lines. Meanwhile, the BK ink is used for creating photos with its bold, rich prints. Normally, printers will use PGBK when printing texts and lines and switch to BK to print images and graphics.
