Canon PFI-120 & Canon PFI-320 Ink Cartridges

Expected page output and replacement cycles

Canon imagePROGRAF PFI-120 (130ml) and PFI-320 (300ml) cartridges do not declare traditional page yields, as ink consumption varies significantly by CAD line weight, print size, and coverage density tested under ISO standards.

Managing your ink supply

If you print mainly CAD line drawings and monochrome architectural plans, stock up on the double Matte Black (MBK) cartridges, as technical workflows consume MBK significantly faster than standard Black. If you print poster graphics or rendered GIS maps, purchase full colour sets in 300ml PFI-320 cartridges to lower per-millilitre ink costs. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 with fast dispatch from our Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide warehouses. Review our returns policy or shop our complete range of Canon ink cartridges.

Pro Tip: Canon imagePROGRAF TM series printers allow you to replace PFI-120 and PFI-320 cartridges hot-swap style during active print jobs without pausing or ruining large-format prints, thanks to the built-in sub-cartridge reservoir system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mix PFI-120 130ml and PFI-320 300ml cartridges in the same printer?

Yes, Canon imagePROGRAF TM-300 and TM-350 printers accept both PFI-120 (130ml) and PFI-320 (300ml) cartridges simultaneously in any colour slot, allowing you to use high-capacity cartridges for high-use colours while using standard cartridges for low-use colours.

Why do Canon imagePROGRAF TM printers require two Matte Black (MBK) slots?

Technical CAD plans rely heavily on dense black lines on uncoated bond paper. The dual Matte Black channel feeds ink simultaneously to achieve high line speed and deep black opacity without causing ink bleeding or slow drying times.

What happens when ink runs out mid-print on a Canon TM-200 or TM-300 printer?

The printer utilises internal sub-cartridge reservoirs that hold reserve ink, allowing you to remove and replace an empty PFI-120 or PFI-320 cartridge while the printer continues outputting without stopping or wasting paper.

Is PFI120 the same as PFI-120?

Yes, PFI120 and PFI-120 refer to the same Canon large-format ink cartridge series; the hyphen is simply a formatting convention used in printer manuals.
