Canon imagePROGRAF iPF680 iPF685 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Canon imagePROGRAF iPF680 and iPF685 printers, which use the Canon PFI-107 ink cartridges series. Ink Depot has supplied high-capacity consumables for these 24-inch large-format CAD printers since Mar 2017. Technical plan printing consumes PFI-107MBK matte black ink at a much faster rate than PFI-107 colour tanks, so stocking extra matte black prevents project halts. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected Ink Output and Capacity
Large-format technical ink consumption varies based on line coverage, image density, and page dimensions. Canon measures cartridge yield under standard ISO test criteria. The 130ml PFI-107 ink tanks ensure continuous ink flow and colour accuracy throughout long technical plotting runs.
Choosing Compatible PFI-107 Tanks
Compatible PFI-107 ink tanks offer a cost-effective alternative for high-volume plan printing without sacrificing line clarity or drying speed. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our genuine vs compatible cartridges guide to decide which option suits your workplace.
Ordering Strategy for Technical Printing
For everyday CAD linework and monochrome plans, keeping spare PFI-107MBK matte black tanks on hand ensures vector lines remain crisp. If your team produces full-colour posters or GIS maps, choosing multi-packs reduces print downtime. Compatible cartridges include a money-back guarantee for peace of mind. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, shipped directly from our warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

Pro Tip
Always keep a spare PFI-107MBK matte black cartridge ready, as large-format technical printers draw heavily from the matte black channel for vector text, CAD gridlines, and border frames.
