Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
Large-format printing yield varies significantly based on ink coverage, roll paper type, and drawing density. Canon calculates ink volume standards according to ISO/IEC 24711 testing procedures for continuous document output. Maintaining high-capacity ink tanks minimises mid-job cartridge swaps during extensive plot runs.
Printheads and Maintenance Assemblies
The Canon imagePROGRAF TM-340 relies on key auxiliary components, including the PF-06 print head and the MC-31 maintenance cartridge. Experience Tip: The MC-31 maintenance cartridge absorbs excess ink during automated head cleaning cycles and operates as a separate replaceable consumable that outlasts multiple standard ink changes.
Ordering choices and nationwide dispatch

Pro Tip
Always replace the MC-31 maintenance cartridge as soon as the low-capacity warning appears, as wide-format print jobs will pause automatically mid-plot if the maintenance tank reaches full capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the PF-06 print head differ from standard ink cartridges?
The PF-06 is a replaceable printhead assembly housing the nozzle channels for ink delivery. Unlike ink tanks that supply the fluid, the printhead processes the jetting mechanism and is replaced only when print quality degrades after long-term wear.
When should the Canon MC-31 maintenance cartridge be replaced?
The MC-31 maintenance kit collects surplus ink cleared during printhead maintenance and boundary flush routines. The printer alerts you when tank capacity is low, allowing replacement before output is paused.
How does media paper type affect ink consumption on the imagePROGRAF TM-340?
Highly absorbent media like matte coated paper or canvas requires greater ink volume per square metre than glossy or standard bond paper, leading to faster depletion during high-density graphics jobs.
