Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use generic third party inks in Canon imagePROGRAF printers?

You can, but here are some things to consider:

• If your imagePROGRAF printer is still under warranty, you will lose access to free printhead replacement and possibly all other support services from Canon.
• Third party generic inks clog up easier, which means more print head cleans. You will waste more ink, plus you'll need to replace the maintenance cartridge more often.
• In scientific tests, genuine inks outperformed generic inks in every respect - from page yield to print quality to colour gamut and wicking. If quality is important to you, genuine imagePROGRAF inks are what you need. If price is important, consider how much you will waste from using generic inks - print head cleans, extra maintenance cartridges and printheads, time spent getting generics to work - and you'll agree genuine imagePROGRAF inks are still what you need.
