What type of ink is used in the PFI-706GY cartridge?

The PFI-706GY cartridge uses a pigment-based grey ink. This type of ink is known for its durability, water resistance, and resistance to fading.

How long will prints made with this ink last?

Prints made with Canon's Lucia ink formulation, as found in the PFI-706GY, are designed to last up to 200 years under proper display and storage conditions.

What is the capacity of this ink cartridge?

The PFI-706GY is a high (XL) yield cartridge with a capacity of 700ml.

Can I use this cartridge in any Canon printer?

No, this cartridge is specifically designed for select Canon imagePROGRAF large-format printers, including the iPF8400S, iPF9400, and iPF9400S models.

Troubleshooting

Printer not recognizing the ink cartridge

Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated. Remove and reinsert it. Check for any protective tape that may have been missed. Restart the printer.

Poor print quality or banding in grey areas

Perform a print head cleaning cycle through the printer's maintenance menu. Ensure the correct ink settings are selected for your media type. Check if the ink cartridge is low or empty.

Ink smudging or smearing

Allow prints to dry completely before handling. Check if the correct media type is selected in the print driver settings. Ensure the printer's environment meets the recommended temperature and humidity range.

Error message related to ink system

Refer to the printer's manual for specific error code explanations. Try reseating the cartridge. If the error persists, contact Canon support.
