FAQs

The Canon PFI-1700PGY ink cartridge has an extra high capacity of 700 ml.
What type of ink is used in the PFI-1700PGY cartridge?

Which Canon printers are compatible with the PFI-1700PGY cartridge?
It is compatible with Canon imagePROGRAF Pro-2000, Pro-4000, Pro-4000S, and Pro-6000S models.
What does 'Original' mean for this ink cartridge?
It means the cartridge is manufactured by Canon and is designed to work seamlessly with compatible Canon printers, ensuring optimal performance and color accuracy.
How does LUCIA PRO ink improve print quality?
LUCIA PRO ink uses encapsulated pigment particles and a Chroma Optimizer coat to allow for denser ink placement, increasing the color gamut and providing gloss uniformity and anti-bronzing effects on coated media.
Can this cartridge be used for full-color printing?
No, this is a specific Photo Grey ink cartridge designed for high-quality monochrome and grayscale printing. It is not intended for full-color output.
How often should I replace the ink cartridge?
Replacement frequency depends on your printing volume and frequency. The printer will alert you when the ink level is low. The high capacity of 700 ml is designed to minimize replacements.
Troubleshooting
Printer not recognizing the ink cartridge.
Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated. Remove and reinsert it firmly. Check for any protective seals that may have been missed. If the issue persists, clean the electrical contacts on both the cartridge and the printer head with a lint-free cloth and try again.
Poor print quality (streaks, missing colors, faded images).
Perform a head cleaning and nozzle check through your printer's utility software. If print quality doesn't improve, the cartridge may be low or depleted, or there might be an issue with the print head itself. Check ink levels and consider replacing the cartridge if necessary.
Ink level appears inaccurate.
Ink levels are estimates. Allow the printer to complete any ongoing print jobs. Restarting the printer might help recalibrate the level sensor. If the discrepancy is significant or causes printing to stop prematurely, contact Canon support.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional grayscale and tonal reproduction for professional black-and-white prints.
- High 700 ml capacity reduces printing interruptions and cost per print.
- Ensures genuine Canon quality and printer compatibility.
- Enhances image clarity and reduces bronzing on coated media.
- Dye-based ink provides smooth gradients and rich tones.
Cons
- Limited to specific Canon imagePROGRAF models.
- Dye-based ink may be less fade-resistant than pigment inks over very long periods without proper protection.
- Specific photo grey color means it's not for general full-color printing needs.
- Higher initial cost compared to non-original or lower-capacity cartridges.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This cartridge is compatible with the following Canon imagePROGRAF printers: Pro-2000, Pro-4000, Pro-4000S, Pro-6000S.
Setup:
- Ensure your printer is powered on.
- Open the printer's cover to access the ink tanks.
- Carefully remove the old ink cartridge.
- Unpack the new PFI-1700PGY cartridge and remove any protective tape as indicated.
- Insert the new cartridge firmly into its designated slot until it clicks into place.
- Close the printer cover. The printer will automatically recognize the new cartridge and may perform a priming process.
Care:
- Store unused cartridges in their original packaging, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid touching the ink nozzle or electrical contacts.
- Replace the cartridge only when prompted by the printer or when print quality degrades significantly.
- Regularly run printer maintenance cycles (e.g., nozzle checks, head cleaning) as recommended by your printer's manual to ensure optimal ink flow.
