Canon imagePROGRAF IPF780 IPF785 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Canon imagePROGRAF IPF780 and IPF785, which uses the Canon PFI-107 ink cartridges series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for these printers since Mar 2017. These 36-inch large-format plotters are engineered for high-precision CAD drawings, GIS maps, and architectural plans. Technical drafting depletes PFI-107MBK matte black rapidly during line printing, while full-colour graphics consume PFI-107BK, PFI-107C, PFI-107M, and PFI-107Y unevenly. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
PFI-107 Cartridge Output and Ink Usage
PFI-107 130ml cartridges are measured under ISO/IEC 24711 standards for continuous A1 and A0 printing. Matte black PFI-107MBK is drawn heavily in line-drawing CAD applications, whereas graphical charts distribute ink evenly across cyan, magenta, yellow, and photo black.
Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible PFI-107 Cartridges
Selecting compatible PFI-107 ink cartridges allows high-volume engineering firms to lower plotting expenses significantly without sacrificing line sharpness. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our detailed genuine vs compatible cartridge comparison to explore performance differences.
Managing Technical Print Supply and Fast Delivery
For technical CAD drafting, stocking additional PFI-107MBK matte black tanks ensures uninterrupted plan printing. For photo rendering and presentation boards, keeping balanced sets of PFI-107C, PFI-107M, PFI-107Y, and PFI-107BK prevents shade shifts across poster runs. All compatible PFI-107 cartridges include a money-back guarantee under our returns policy if you experience performance issues. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, with orders dispatched directly from distribution warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

Pro Tip
Large format CAD plotters use dual Matte Black PFI-107MBK channels during technical line printing; keeping a spare PFI-107MBK cartridge on hand prevents print job halts mid-plot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF780 and iPF785 use identical ink cartridges?
Yes, both the iPF780 and iPF785 use the exact same Canon PFI-107 cartridge series, including PFI-107MBK, PFI-107BK, PFI-107C, PFI-107M, and PFI-107Y.
What is the functional difference between PFI-107MBK Matte Black and PFI-107BK Photo Black?
PFI-107MBK contains pigment-based matte black ink engineered for crisp line definition on plain bond paper and tracing stock, making it essential for CAD drawings. PFI-107BK uses dye-based black ink designed for smooth tonality on glossy and satin photo paper.
How does the sub-ink tank system interact with PFI-107 cartridge replacement?
The iPF780 and iPF785 feature secondary internal ink reservoirs. When a PFI-107 tank runs empty, ink continues to draw from the sub-tank, allowing you to replace the main cartridge on the fly during active printing without ruining large-format rolls.
Are PFI-107 multi-packs interchangeable with individual single cartridges?
Yes, PFI-107 bundle packs contain individually sealed 130ml ink tanks that fit into the same standard ink bays as single PFI-107 cartridges.
