FAQs

What is included in the PFI-5100 multipack?

The pack includes 10 individual 14.4ml cartridges: Matte Black, Photo Black, Gray, Cyan, Photo Cyan, Magenta, Photo Magenta, Yellow, Red, and a Chroma Optimizer.

Is this ink compatible with other Canon printers?

No, the PFI-5100 series is specifically designed for the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-310 printer.

How long do prints last with these inks?

When used with compatible professional media, these inks are rated to maintain quality and resist fading for up to 200 years.

What does the Chroma Optimizer actually do?

It serves as a clear coating that balances the glossiness of the print, reduces surface reflection differences, and prevents bronzing.

Can I replace individual cartridges?

Yes, while the multipack is sold together, you can replace individual cartridges as they deplete.

Troubleshooting

Printer does not recognize new ink cartridge

Remove the cartridge, ensure the electrical contacts are clean and free of debris, and re-insert it firmly until it clicks.

Banding or streaks appearing on prints

Run a standard print head cleaning cycle via the printer settings menu to clear any potential air bubbles or nozzle clogs.

Colours appear faded or inaccurate

Verify that you have selected the correct media profile in your printing software that matches the paper type you are using.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The PFI-5100 multipack is exclusively compatible with the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-310 printer. Installation is straightforward: open the ink compartment, release the latch for the specific colour slot, and insert the cartridge until it clicks into place. Ensure the printer is powered on during installation so it can register the new ink levels. To maintain print quality, keep cartridges in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Avoid touching the ink nozzle area on the cartridge to prevent clogging or contamination. It is recommended to run a nozzle check from the printer's maintenance menu after replacing multiple cartridges to ensure optimal flow.
