Canon PFI-1000B Blue Ink Cartridge

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Canon’s PFI-1000B blue ink cartridge is one of those “it just works” items if you already run the compatible Canon large-format workflow. If you’re printing signage, CAD drawings, or anything where colour consistency matters, sticking to the Canon cartridge tends to be the safest bet for predictable output and fewer faff moments with driver/colour management. At £42.83 ex‑VAT, it’s not wildly cheap, but it’s priced like a genuine consumable you can rely on—especially if you don’t want trial-and-error with compatibles.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this just because you need “blue ink” in general. If you’re chasing lowest cost per print and your printer model supports alternatives, there may be better value elsewhere. Also, if you’re only printing occasionally, the cost can sting versus using whatever your organisation’s print economy is based on (service agreements, bulk buys, or ink/toner spend tracking). In short: buy it if you’re running the right Canon printer and you prioritise consistency over penny-pinching; skip it if you’re chasing cost optimisation or you’re not sure it’s the correct cartridge for your device.
