Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the ink waterproof or water-resistant?

A: The Canon PFI-300 Ten Color Ink Tank Pack is pigment based ink and when used with weather resistant media will offer some weather of weather resistance.

Q: 2. What's the expiration timeframe on the unused inks?

A: Inks usually have a 2 year shelf life from manufacture date if still sealed. once open it's recommended to use within 6 months or latest 1 year.

Q: 3. Are there region coding for the Pro 300 ink cartridges?

A: Yes, the ink cartridges would have a region coded chip.

Q: 4. what is the shelf of the ink once it is installed in the printer?

A: No clear answer. I asked Canon, but only got vague assurance that there was no set expiration.

Q: 5. What is the shelf life of an unopened set of ink and also when in use?

A: If properly sealed, the ink should easily last for more than a year when stored appropriately. As for opened ink, the cartridges should be installed, and the Canon large format printer should be left on. That way the Canon large format printer will perform an electronic nozzle check periodically to maintain the cartridge. It uses only a small amount of ink to do that, and that process does keep the ink fresh and usable indefinitely. (Please note that this comment does not necessarily apply to non Canon or non large format printers.)

Q: 6. Canon PFI-301BK Black Ink Tank (330 ml) for iPF8100 printers?

A: This is not compatible with thr Canon ipf8100. The PFI-302 ink tank is. Here is its link: http://bhpho.to/1NlTk56

Q: 7. Is there an expiration date on the ink cartridges. If so, how long do they typically last? Need this to decide whether to go with 330ml or 700 ml.

A: Ink cartridges will usually have a manufacturing date as opposed to an expiration date (some may). The general idea is that cartridges are good for up to 18 months after manufacturing. Keeping cartridges in their sealed packaging prevents them from drying out.

Q: 8. on average, how many prints would one get from a cartridge - 11x14 prints?

A: Unfortuantely Canon does not specify ink yields for the Canon PFI-1100 inks. Ink yields will vary based on content being printed, media printed on, and the environment in which one is printing. For this reason, ink yields are not provided for these inks.

Q: 9. What is the amount of ink used when replacing an empty ink tank?

A: When you use the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 printer for the first time after you install the bundled ink tanks, the printer consumes a small amount of ink in the amount to enable printing by filling the nozzles of the Print Head with ink. For this reason, the number of sheets that can be printed with the first ink tanks is fewer than the succeeding ink tanks, which would not subsequently require filling the print heads. The printing costs described in the brochures or websites are based on the consumption data from not the first ink tank /ink cartridge but the succeeding ink tank /ink cartridge. Ink is sometimes used to maintain the optimal printing quality as well.

Q: 10. Will the Canon PFI-1300 cartridge, designed for the Pro-4000 work in the Pro-4100?

A: The Canon PFI-1300 Yellow Pigment Ink Tank (BH #CAPFI1300Y) is compatible with the Canon imagePROGRAF Pro-4100 Printer.
