FAQs
Is this ink dye-based or pigment-based?
The PFI-106 Matte Black ink is a pigment-based ink, which provides superior longevity and water resistance compared to dye-based inks.
Can I use this in my Canon Pixma printer?
No, this ink is specifically designed for the professional Canon imagePROGRAF large format printer series and is not compatible with standard desktop Pixma printers.
How should I store unused ink tanks?
Keep them in their original sealed blister packaging at room temperature, away from direct heat or light sources.
What is the capacity of this ink tank?
The PFI-106 MBK tank contains 130ml of ink.
Does using genuine Canon ink affect my printer warranty?
Using original Canon consumables ensures your device operates according to manufacturer specifications and helps maintain the integrity of your printer warranty.
Why is the ink labelled 'Matte Black'?
Matte black ink is formulated to achieve the highest possible density on matte-finish papers. For glossy papers, the printer often switches to a different black ink type (Photo Black) to optimize for the paper's reflective surface.
Troubleshooting
Printer displays 'Ink Tank Not Recognized'
Remove the cartridge and ensure the electrical contacts are clean and free of debris. Reinsert firmly until it clicks.
Poor print quality or streaks in black areas
Run a standard print head cleaning cycle from the printer maintenance menu to clear potential air bubbles or minor clogs.
Ink tank light is flashing
This usually indicates the ink level is low; check the printer status monitor on your computer for specific error codes.
