Frequently Asked Questions - Canon TZ-30000 Supplies
What ink cartridges does the Canon TZ-30000 use?
The Canon imagePROGRAF TZ-30000 uses the PFI-340 or PFI-740 series ink cartridges, depending on capacity needs. The system requires five colors: Matte Black (MBK), Black (BK), Cyan (C), Magenta (M), and Yellow (Y). All cartridges use LUCIA TD pigment ink technology for water-resistant, fade-resistant prints.
How long do Canon TZ-30000 ink cartridges last?
Cartridge life depends on print volume and coverage. The 700ml cartridges can yield approximately 2,800-3,200 D-size prints at 5% coverage. For typical CAD drawings with 10-15% coverage, expect 1,000-1,500 prints per 700ml cartridge. The plotter's hot-swap capability allows cartridge replacement during printing without interruption.
Can I use third-party ink in my Canon TZ-30000?
While third-party inks exist, Canon strongly recommends genuine OEM ink cartridges for the TZ-30000. Non-OEM inks may cause print quality issues, clog printheads, void your warranty, and compromise color accuracy critical for technical drawings. The plotter's firmware may also reject non-genuine cartridges.
When should I replace the maintenance cartridge MC-30?
The MC-30 maintenance cartridge should be replaced when the plotter displays a warning message, typically after 50,000 prints or when 80% full. Keep a spare MC-30 on hand as the printer cannot operate without a functioning maintenance cartridge. The cartridge collects waste ink from cleaning cycles and borderless printing.
What's the difference between PFI-340 and PFI-740 cartridges?
The primary difference is capacity: PFI-320 (330ml) for moderate volume, and PFI-720 (700ml) for high-volume production environments. All three use an identical LUCIA TD pigment ink formulation. Larger cartridges offer lower cost-per-ml and fewer interruptions for replacement.
