Why choose the genuine Canon PFI-030MBK ink cartridge
Genuine Canon ink cartridge, formulated for the print head of these models: faithful colors, fast drying, no clogged nozzles. Pigment ink: sharp text, water and highlighter resistant. The printer recognizes the cartridge and shows the remaining ink level.
When to replace it
The printer shows a message when the part's counter reaches end of life (Supplies status or Reports menu). Replacing it then avoids downtime and wear on other parts.
Printers compatible with the 3488C001
The 3488C001 is compatible with the following models and series (manufacturer data):
- imagePROGRAF TA-20
- imagePROGRAF TA-30
Check the exact reference of your printer (label or Information menu); suffixes are variants of the same series and generally use the same consumables. If in doubt, send us the exact model.
Ink and consumption
55 ml of genuine Canon ink; consumption depends on media, coverage and the selected quality mode.
Installation
Replace with the printer on: open the cartridge door, remove the empty cartridge, unpack the new one, remove the protection without touching contacts or nozzles, insert until it clicks and close. The printer detects the cartridge and runs an alignment if needed.
Use and tips
For large format and production printers: keep one cartridge of each color in reserve, the machine warns ahead of an empty cartridge and jobs are not interrupted.
Store cartridges in their packaging between 15 and 35 °C, away from sunlight; install them before the printed date. Genuine ink protects the printheads and the warranty.
