Canon imagePROGRAF TA-20M Ink Cartridges
Your Canon imagePROGRAF TA-20M uses the PFI-030 ink cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying consumables for this printer since Jul 2023. Designed for CAD drawings, blueprints, and posters, this 24-inch wide-format desktop printer relies on LUCIA TD pigment ink for sharp lines and water-resistant output. Technical drafting consumes PFI-030MBK Matte Black at a higher rate, while full-colour poster printing depletes PFI-030C, PFI-030M, and PFI-030Y evenly. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability.
What to expect from PFI-030 ink tanks
Canon PFI-030 ink cartridges contain 55ml of pigment ink engineered for consistent output across large-format CAD plans and graphics. Ink consumption varies based on page coverage, with ISO/IEC 24711 and ISO/IEC 19798 standard testing methods measuring typical yield metrics. Complete set replacements ensure uniform colour balance.

Pro Tip
Pro Tip: Always keep a spare PFI-030MBK tank on hand alongside your primary colour set; large-format print jobs require a baseline volume of Matte Black ink to initiate borderless or full-bleed graphics prints.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the imagePROGRAF TA-20M use both PFI-030MBK (Matte Black) and PFI-030BK (Black)?
Matte Black (PFI-030MBK) is specifically formulated for high-density, sharp line work on uncoated media and tracing paper used in CAD drafting, whereas Standard Black (PFI-030BK) provides rich black tones on glossy and coated photographic media.
Can I replace individual PFI-030 ink tanks when one colour runs out?
Yes, each PFI-030 ink tank operates independently in its own slot, allowing you to replace individual colours like Cyan (PFI-030C) or Magenta (PFI-030M) without replacing or wasting remaining ink in other channels.
How does ink sub-tank technology in the TA-20M affect tank replacement?
The TA-20M features an internal sub-tank system that holds ink reserve, allowing you to swap out depleted PFI-030 tanks during active printing without interrupting large-format print runs or wasting media.
