The Complete Guide to Select and Fill Ink for Canon Pixma TS3322

Question:

I have a Canon Pixma TS3322 printer and need ink for it, but I didn’t find this model on your website. P.s. Do you have a guide on refilling the older Canon 245 and 246 cartridges with sponges inside? I see you do not sell premade spongeless cartridges, which I would have preferred.

Answer:

Canon Pixma TS3322 Ink Compatibility

Our inks are not model-specific but are brand-formulated. That means that instead of searching for ink for canon ts3322 you should be searching for Refill Ink for canon. Once you’ve done that, you’ll have to choose pigment or dye ink. Dye ink is recommended for your printer, as it delivers very good quality for regular prints and is easier to maintain than pigment ink.

Pigment or dye: Which ink should you choose?

This may leave you wondering whether to use pigment or dye ink in your printer. The upside is that your printer can use both. But there are some important differences:

And pigment ink printers go through all those cleaning cycles to clogging preventing.

Dye ink printers require less frequent cleans so are less susceptible to clogging issues.

For dye ink use in a pigment printer: it is usually safe and beneficial, as the printer will be forced to clean itself often enough to not get blocked up.

Pigment ink in a dye printer: This will require more frequent manual cleaning as dye printers do not have the automated cleaning cycle that pigment ones do.

Most users find dye ink to be the preferred option since:

It is less costly than pigment ink.

And it is easier to flush out should there be a blockage.

Recent advances in dye ink technology have improved performance for double-sided printing.

Let’s be real—concerns about the UV resistance and water resistance of dye ink are largely a thing of the past; dye ink is perfectly valid unless you regularly subject prints to direct sunlight or heavy moisture.

Here are the dye inks I recommend for purchasing:
