Frequently Asked Questions About Canon GP-4600S Supplies
What ink cartridges does the Canon imagePROGRAF GP-4600S use?
The Canon GP-4600S uses the LUCIA PRO II 7-color ink system with three capacity options per color. Standard colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Black, Gray) use PFI-3100 (160ml), PFI-3300 (330ml), or PFI-3700 (700ml). Matte Black and Orange use PFI-2100 (160ml), PFI-2300 (330ml), or PFI-2700 (700ml). This flexibility lets you match cartridge size to your print volume.
Why does the GP-4600S use orange ink?
The orange ink in the GP-4600S expands the color gamut to achieve 96% coverage of PANTONE Formula Guide Solid Coated colors. This is crucial for retail signage, franchise branding, and any application requiring precise corporate color matching. Orange fills gaps in the traditional CMYK spectrum, particularly for warm tones, skin tones, and vibrant brand colors.
Which ink capacity should I choose: 160ml, 330ml, or 700ml?
Choose based on your monthly print volume: 160ml cartridges are ideal for low-volume users (under 50 posters/month), 330ml for moderate volume (50-200 posters/month), and 700ml for high-volume production (200+ posters/month). Larger cartridges offer a lower cost per milliliter and reduce replacement frequency, improving productivity.
How long do Canon LUCIA PRO II inks last on prints?
LUCIA PRO II pigment inks provide exceptional longevity, with prints lasting over 100 years in indoor display conditions. They offer superior scratch resistance and water resistance compared to dye-based inks. The pigment formulation also provides better light fastness, making them ideal for window displays and areas with direct sunlight exposure.
Can I mix different capacity cartridges in my GP-4600S?
Yes, the GP-4600S accepts any combination of 160ml, 330ml, and 700ml cartridges simultaneously. For example, you might use 700ml for frequently used colors like black and smaller capacities for less-used colors. The printer automatically recognizes each cartridge size and tracks ink levels accordingly.
What's included in GP-4600S maintenance supplies?
Essential maintenance items include the PF-10 Print Head (replace every ~30,000 pages), CT-07 Cutter Blade (replace after 1,000-2,000 cuts or when cut quality degrades), and MC-30 Maintenance Cartridge (replace when the printer indicates it's full). Regular maintenance ensures consistent print quality and prevents costly downtime.
