Canon imagePROGRAF TM-250 Lm MFP Ink Cartridges
Your Canon imagePROGRAF TM-250 Lm MFP uses the PFI-120 and PFI-320 ink cartridges series along with MC-31 maintenance cartridges and PF-06 print heads. Upgrading from standard 130ml PFI-120MBK Matte Black cartridges to high-capacity 300ml PFI-320MBK cartridges significantly reduces ink swap intervals during large technical plan runs. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected output and cartridge capacity
Canon large-format PFI ink cartridges are rated using ISO/IEC 28360 print testing standards for technical line drawings and poster output. Standard 130ml PFI-120 cartridges suit lower volume jobs, whereas 300ml PFI-320 cartridges provide superior ink economy for continuous wide-format production.
Print head and maintenance components
The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-250 Lm MFP relies on dedicated consumable items beyond standard ink to ensure continuous print operations. The MC-31 maintenance cartridge collects excess ink during borderless printing and automatic cleaning routines, while the PF-06 print head delivers precise droplet placement for CAD plans. Experience Tip: The PF-06 print head is a separate user-replaceable component designed to outlast multiple sets of PFI ink cartridges.
Selecting cartridge sizes and ordering
For everyday CAD line work, matte black ink is consumed faster than cyan, magenta, or yellow. Combining high-capacity 300ml PFI-320MBK cartridges with 130ml PFI-120 colour cartridges keeps operating costs low without tying up excess capital in colour inventory.

You can freely mix 130ml PFI-120 and 300ml PFI-320 cartridges in the same printer at the same time, allowing you to use high-capacity Matte Black cartridges alongside standard-capacity colour cartridges based on your specific print workload.

When does the MC-31 maintenance cartridge need to be replaced?
The printer monitors internal waste ink collection and alerts you via the status display when the MC-31 maintenance cartridge reaches capacity, ensuring zero downtime during critical print runs.
