Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710, which uses the Canon PFI-102 ink cartridges series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Apr 2013. Designed for 36-inch CAD, GIS, and technical line printing, this large-format unit relies on dual Matte Black PFI-102MB tanks alongside standard PFI-102BK black and PFI-102 colour tanks. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability. Heavy line-drawing output consumes PFI-102MB matte black at a much faster rate than photo black, making targeted replenishment essential for continuous plotting runs.
Expected Output and PFI-102 Consumption
PFI-102 ink cartridges do not carry traditional page yield ratings standard across desktop units, as ink consumption varies significantly based on line density, media width, and coverage percentage. Technical CAD drawings draw heavily on PFI-102MB matte black, whereas full-colour posters consume cyan, magenta, and yellow evenly.
Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible PFI-102 Ink
Opting for compatible PFI-102 cartridges provides a cost-effective alternative for high-volume blueprinting and draughting without compromising line sharpness. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. You can read our detailed guide comparing genuine vs compatible cartridges to decide which option best aligns with your print environment.
Cartridge Buying Options and Delivery
If your workflow consists mainly of technical line work and CAD plans, stocking up on multi-packs or multiple PFI-102MB matte black cartridges prevents downtime during long print queues. For full-colour GIS maps and renderings, individual colour replacements or complete ink sets ensure balanced tonal coverage. All compatible cartridges are backed by a money-back guarantee if they fail to meet expectations, supported by our simple returns policy. Order your Canon ink cartridges today. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, dispatched quickly from our warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
Pro Tip for iPF710 Ink Management
Always keep an extra PFI-102MB matte black cartridge on hand. Because CAD and architectural software default to matte black for all vector line work, matte black depletes significantly faster than photo black or colour inks during technical plotting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PFI-102MB and PFI-102BK ink cartridges in the imagePROGRAF iPF710?
PFI-102MB contains pigment-based Matte Black ink specifically formulated for sharp, non-bleeding line work on bond and uncoated papers. PFI-102BK contains dye-based Photo Black ink designed for smooth tonal gradations on glossy media.
Can I replace individual PFI-102 colour cartridges as they empty, or do they need to be replaced as a set?
PFI-102 ink cartridges function independently, allowing you to replace only the specific colour that has depleted without interrupting the rest of the ink system.
Why does the Canon iPF710 require two Matte Black (PFI-102MB) slots?
The iPF710 printer utilises a dual matte black channel system to double the matte black ink flow during high-speed technical line plotting, which speeds up throughput while ensuring dense black lines.
