How to choose the right ink for Canon Pixma TS8242

When selecting ink for printer Canon Pixma TS8242, we recommend checking three things:

• Cartridge symbol: PGI-580 is pigment black for text; CLI-581 is for colours/photo printing.
• Capacity: XL/XXL lasts longer and is often more cost-effective for frequent printing.
• Your printing type: documents → focus on PGI black; photos/graphics → ensure strong CLI colour coverage and consider photo colours (BK/PB).

Common Canon Pixma TS8242 printing issues – and how we help
