Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6400S Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6400S, a 24-inch large-format printer designed for commercial photography and fine art reproduction, which uses the Canon PFI-106 ink cartridge series along with PF-05 print heads. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Nov 2016. In high-volume poster printing, photo inks like PFI-106PC and PFI-106PM deplete based on image tonal balance, while PFI-106MBK handles dense matte media. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
PFI-106 Ink Capacity and Photo Output
Canon PFI-106 ink cartridges contain 130ml of pigment ink engineered for consistent colour rendition. Standardised ISO print yields vary significantly on large-format media depending on image coverage, surface finish, and light-to-dark balance across fine art or display graphic files.
Essential Wide-Format Replacement Components
The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6400S relies on the PF-05 dual print head assembly to deliver high-precision droplet placement. Experience Tip: The PF-05 print head is an independent long-life replaceable component engineered to outlast multiple full sets of PFI-106 ink cartridges.
Cartridge Supply Options and Fast Delivery
If you produce fine art graphics with soft skintones and subtle gradients, keep lighter shades like PFI-106PC Cyan and PFI-106PM Magenta on hand alongside core PFI-106BK and PFI-106MBK inks. Ink Depot ships all genuine PFI-106 cartridges directly from dispatch centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth for minimal downtime. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99.

Expert Buying Tip
When selecting black inks, match PFI-106MBK Matte Black specifically to rag or textured fine art papers, whereas PFI-106BK Black should be chosen for gloss and semi-gloss photographic media to prevent ink bronzing and achieve maximum optical density.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do light cyan (PFI-106PC) and light magenta (PFI-106PM) cartridges run out faster than standard cyan and magenta?
High-detail photographic and fine art prints use lighter ink shades extensively in highlight and midtone areas to create smooth tonal transitions, causing PFI-106PC and PFI-106PM to deplete more rapidly than primary cyan and magenta during image-heavy print jobs.
Can I mix PFI-106MBK Matte Black and PFI-106BK Photo Black in the same printer?
Yes, both cartridges sit in separate dedicated bays within the printer simultaneously, allowing automatic ink switching based on the media setting selected in your print driver.
How do I know when the PF-05 print head needs replacing rather than an ink cartridge?
The printer displays an on-screen prompt when the PF-05 print head reaches the end of its operational lifecycle, whereas empty PFI-106 ink cartridges trigger individual replacement alerts.
