Canon imagePROGRAF iPF650 iPF655 Ink Cartridges
Your Canon imagePROGRAF iPF650 and iPF655 printers use the PFI-102 cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for these large format plotters since Apr 2013. Designed for technical CAD drawings and architectural plan production, these printers rely on dual matte black channels alongside standard colour tanks. Heavy line-work printing typically depletes Matte Black PFI-102MB ink faster than standard PFI-102C or PFI-102Y colours. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected page output and ink usage patterns
Page yield for large format technical ink tanks depends heavily on line coverage, plan density, and drawing formats. Standard yield evaluations for inkjet plotters follow ISO testing standards, though technical CAD files with dense shading or solid background fills exhaust ink faster than basic line schematics.
Choosing between genuine and compatible PFI-102 cartridges
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Opting for compatible PFI-102 ink tanks gives high-volume technical drawing environments a practical way to manage operating expenses without compromising print fidelity. Read our detailed guide on genuine and compatible cartridges to determine which option suits your CAD production schedule best.
Managing replenishment and delivery options
For high-volume CAD plotting and monochrome architectural plans, stocking up on PFI-102MB matte black tanks prevents unexpected project delays. Choosing compatible PFI-102 cartridges offers substantial savings for everyday draft printing, backed by a full money-back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied.

Key consumable tip
The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF650 and iPF655 use two active Matte Black ink channels in their technical ink system; keeping an extra PFI-102MB tank in reserve prevents plot jobs from pausing mid-print during heavy schematic output.
