Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re running a Canon imagePROGRAF–style workflow and you specifically need the full range (including the photo blacks and spot colours), the PFI-300 10-pack is a sensible “keep the printer fed” purchase. The big upside is reliability: these are original Canon cartridges, so you’re less likely to get colour drift or unpleasant banding compared to cheaper remanufactured options—especially important if you’re producing consistent outputs for clients. At £126.40 ex-VAT, it’s also one of those buys that can actually make sense for busy print rooms, because the pack covers the colours you’ll burn through fastest without waiting around for replacements.

That said, it’s not great value if you’re using the printer infrequently or only printing a narrow set of colours. Buying the whole set when you only need one or two cartridges is where the cost stings, and ink costs are rarely linear—one empty colour can slow your whole job stream. Also, if you’re cost-optimising and aren’t bothered about “lab-perfect” colour matching, you may do better shopping around for compatible inks (but you’ll trade some consistency and warranty/uptime peace of mind). Bottom line: buy this if you need dependable colour across the board and you use the printer regularly; skip it if your printing is sporadic or you don’t routinely use the photo inks.
