Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between PFI-340 and PFI-740 ink cartridges?
The PFI-340 series contains 330ml of Canon LUCIA TD pigment ink, while the PFI-740 series offers 700ml—more than double the capacity. Both use identical ink formulations and deliver the same print quality. Choose PFI-740 cartridges for high-volume production environments to reduce cartridge changes and lower cost per milliliter.
Can I use third-party ink in my Canon TZ-32000 plotter?
While third-party inks may work, Canon recommends using genuine PFI-340/740 series cartridges to maintain warranty coverage, ensure color accuracy, and prevent potential damage to the PF-06 print head. OEM Canon ink supplies are specifically formulated for the TZ-32000's high-speed printing and water-resistant output requirements.
How often should I replace the MC-30 maintenance cartridge?
The MC-30 maintenance cartridge collects waste ink from cleaning cycles and should be replaced when the printer indicates it's full—typically after 100-200 large-format prints, depending on coverage. The TZ-32000's LCD panel displays remaining capacity, and the hot-swap design allows replacement without stopping print jobs.
Why does the TZ-32000 use both Matte Black and Photo Black ink?
The dual-black system optimizes output for different media types. PFI-340MBK/740MBK Matte Black produces dense, crisp lines on uncoated CAD paper and bond media. PFI-340BK/740BK Photo Black delivers rich blacks on coated and glossy papers for photographic prints and color graphics, ensuring professional results across all applications.
What's the shelf life of Canon TZ-32000 ink cartridges?
Unopened Canon PFI-340 and PFI-740 ink cartridges have a shelf life of 2 years from the manufacture date when stored at room temperature. Once installed, use within 6 months for optimal results. The pigment-based LUCIA TD ink formulation resists settling, but gently shake new cartridges before installation to ensure even pigment distribution.
