PIXMA TR8620a CLI 251 vs 281 Ink Cartridge Compatibility

[marvineggert]

I recently purchased a printer and find that it calls for CLI 281 cartridges.  Yet, when I go to a retail store, all the PIXMA cartridges are 251.  What is the difference?

Thank you for the updated information! 

Your printer is NOT compatible with 251 inks. These are the ONLY inks your printer is compatible with: https://canon.us/3ipDm6u
