Canon imagePROGRAF LP24 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Canon imagePROGRAF LP24, which uses the Canon PFI-102 ink cartridges series. Ink Depot has been supplying consumables for this 24-inch large-format technical plotter since Jun 2017. The system relies on specialised pigment and standard ink, where PFI-102MB matte black delivers sharp line drafting on bond paper while PFI-102BK handles graphics. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected Page Output and Ink Usage
Large-format ink consumption varies significantly based on printable area and line density. ISO/IEC standards establish standard yield metrics, but technical CAD line drawings consume far less PFI-102MB matte black per page than full-bleed poster graphics using PFI-102C, PFI-102M, and PFI-102Y cartridges.
Managing Cartridge Replacements and Delivery
If you print mainly CAD line drawings and blueprints, stock extra PFI-102MB matte black cartridges to avoid mid-job pauses. If you print posters or full-colour graphics, keep additional PFI-102C, PFI-102M, and PFI-102Y cartridges ready for balanced coverage. All purchases are backed by our returns policy. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, dispatched quickly from our warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Pro Tip for Canon PFI-102 Cartridges
Keep a spare PFI-102MB matte black cartridge in reserve, as technical CAD plan printing relies almost exclusively on matte black ink while leaving colour cartridges largely unused.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Canon imagePROGRAF LP24 use both PFI-102MB and PFI-102BK ink cartridges?
Matte black (PFI-102MB) uses pigment-formulated ink for crisp line drafting on plain uncoated bond paper without feathering. Standard black (PFI-102BK) is engineered for rich tonal depth and smooth monochrome shading on glossy or coated graphic media.
Can I replace a PFI-102 cartridge while the imagePROGRAF LP24 is actively printing?
Yes, the Canon imagePROGRAF LP24 uses a sub-cartridge reservoir system that continues feeding ink to the printhead during replacement, allowing you to swap out empty PFI-102 cartridges without disrupting an active print run.
How do ink depletion rates differ between technical CAD drawings and graphic posters?
Technical CAD plans consume small amounts of PFI-102MB matte black and minimal colour ink, whereas full-coverage posters deplete PFI-102C, PFI-102M, and PFI-102Y cartridges rapidly. Purchasing individual replacement cartridges based on your primary document type helps maintain balanced ink stock.
