Canon’s PGI-270 and CLI-271 ink cartridge are one of the brand’s more popular ink cartridge series thanks to their compatibility with many different Pixma printers. Featuring five individual colors, these cartridges deliver quality prints, including amazing color photos. Two different black cartridges are required for most Pixma printers, the PGI-270 pigment-based black cartridge and the CLI-270 dye-based black. Your printer uses the PGI-270 cartridge to create rich black text and the CLI-270 to produce more defined shades of black in photos. Canon offers this cartridge series in two sizes, a standard yield and high yield, or XL. If you print regularly, you are probably better off going with the high yield cartridge due to its higher ink capacity. Combo packs are also available for a slightly cheaper price than buying each cartridge individually.

I have a iX6520 cannon printer.
The PGI-270 black cartridge (PGBK) has emptied and I wish to install a new one.
After removing the old cartridge I cannot get the new one (or the old one) into the ink rake!
No problem with other color cartridges!
HELP!!!
The Canon iX6520 printer uses Canon PGI-225 and CLI-226 ink cartridges, not PGI-270/CLI-271. Did you buy new PGI-225s or PGI-270s?
Is the compatible with ts5040? Thanks
Hi Julian,
No, the cartridges are similar but they are not compatible with the TS5040. The TS5040 uses PGI-470 / CLI-471 ink cartridges. Hope this helps!
