Yes. But go to Canon’s website and click shopping for ink. Plug in your ts8120 and this should be the correct pack. I think this is the one I buy and I have the ts8120. Sometimes I will buy from Canon directly because they have a special on photographic print paper
The Canon online ink store claims the CLI-281 series to be compatible with a TS9520, so it should work. I have a different Canon printer so I don’t have any direct experience with a TS9520.
No, I don’t believe these inks are waterproof. They run when wet. I have never heard of water proof toner but it’s something I have never thought about.
They should. I have a Canon Pixma 9120 and they work for it just fine.
I have a PIXMA TS 8322 . The box that the ink came in does not list that model but check your ink tanks for their numbers and if the same , they will fit . There is a number on each cartridge .

Just open your printer as though you were going to change ink and make note of the numbers and if they match you are good to go .You probably won’t need the 281PB unless you print pictures so the set will be fine if the numbers match .
Because HP makes up the difference in cheaper printers for more expensive inks?

You must use the cartridges for your printer. Not all XL cartridges are the same. XL just means Extra Large ink cartridge or more ink than normal cartridge. For the tr8520 It is the 280xl Black and 281xl color cartridges.

Info About Canon CLI-281XL Black Ink Tank, Compatible to TR8520,TR7520,TS9120,TS8120 and TS6120 Printers (Reviews From Amazon)
I like the ink and have no complaints about the quality. No leaks, no smears, good saturation, you name it. Just make sure you do the math. As of this writing, the Canon 4 pack of XL ink is $72 from Amazon. The 4 pack of standard ink is $39 from Amazon. A Canon rep responded to a question about how much ink is in each. Standard inks have 5.6ml while XL inks have 8.3ml. Doing the math you find that the Standard ink costs $1.74/ml while the XL ink costs $2.17/ml. You would THINK that by buying more (the XL) it would cost LESS per ml but that’s just not the case. Put another way, if you purchased three boxes of the Standard ink you would have 16.8ml of each color. If you purchased two boxes of XL ink you would have 16.6ml of each color – roughly equal to the three boxes of Standard ink. You would have paid $117 for the Standard ink but $144 for the (same amount of) XL ink. So be sure to do the math. (And yes – the “verified purchase” tag on my review indicates that I did NOT do the math the first time around. Lesson learned!)
A friend once told me that contact lens companies give away their lenses because they make all of their money on the cleaning/soaking solutions. That is the case with printer ink these days. You can get a high-quality printer for less than $100, but the ink will send you to the poor house. Cartridges don’t have a lot of ink and are expensive. That being said, the quality of this product is very good.
Genuine Canon ink. Found best for my printer. Tried others but no where as good.
PROBLEM: I normal receive the item and put it with paper and such. I don’t open the box. From now on I will. Problem is I open a totally sealed box (never opened) and there are NOT 5 cartridge’s like supposed to be. There are ONLY 3 ink carts. That’s really sucks. Factory ink and only 3 of 5. Make sure you check how many when it arrives.
The Canon ink is exactly what my printer needed but had I not accidentally signed up for Amazon Prime I would have payed a little more at the local office supply store. My fault for not watching the ink level and being prepared with new cartridges.
Best value for the price and what you get. You get all the colors and the regular black ink tanks. This is a new printer, for me, that uses this ink and I’m thrilled with vibrant colors in my pictures.
Some value packs have the 280 black, which does Not need replacing anywhere near as frequently as the other tanks. And it does Not have the PB tank.
Help! Everyone wants a review. As soon as you receive the item they are asking for a review. Well, I am not a stickler for some things and an ink cartridge is one of them. I need ink. This is the ink the printer needs. Ta Da! I buy it. Do I try and count to keep track how many pages I print and see if these goes for as many pages as it say…..um NO! Do I look for a good price yes! So try this one if you want and it works for your printer.
XXL is best value for money, but all inks are overpriced. Still I find OEM ink cartridges perform much better than generics. If you want to color print, your stuck with the expensive ink ecosystem. Thus, five stars since product arrived promptly and exactly as expected.
My printer needs this one cartridge and I couldn’t find it anywhere else. The price was cheap and it tends to last longer than the others.
i’ve bought the non canon ink cartridges before , and although cheaper , they are not worth it …. you are better off buying canon cartridges for your canon printers ….
Always get Canon Inks. They print great. Through no fault of ” Amazon.com Services LLC,” this package came with two cyan cartridges and no black cartridge. Package was sealed and new from the manufacturer, so looks like this is on Canon. Guess I have two Cyan’s now and need to order a black cartridge.
