How to Find the Right Canon Ink Cartridge
- Step 1: Identify your Canon printer model
Check the top panel or front face of your machine (e.g., PIXMA TS6120 or G3270). - Step 2: Find the cartridge number
Look inside the cartridge door or at your empty cartridges (e.g., 280/281 or GI-21). - Step 3: Choose standard or high-yield
Opt for XXL versions if you print detailed photos frequently to save on costs. - Step 4: Check your color needs
Ensure you replace the specific missing color (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, or Black).
