Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the shelf life of an unopened set of ink and also when in use?

A: If properly sealed, the ink should easily last for more than a year when stored appropriately. As for opened ink, the cartridges should be installed, and the Canon large format printer should be left on. That way the Canon large format printer will perform an electronic nozzle check periodically to maintain the cartridge. It uses only a small amount of ink to do that, and that process does keep the ink fresh and usable indefinitely. (Please note that this comment does not necessarily apply to non Canon or non large format printers.)

Q: 2. Does this product have an expiry date?

A: Cesar JrYes the packages has an expiration date print it on them but one time I use one who had a year expired and still working as good

Q: 3. Is there an expiration date on the ink cartridges. If so, how long do they typically last? Need this to decide whether to go with 330ml or 700 ml.

A: Ink cartridges will usually have a manufacturing date as opposed to an expiration date (some may). The general idea is that cartridges are good for up to 18 months after manufacturing. Keeping cartridges in their sealed packaging prevents them from drying out.

Q: 4. What's the expiration timeframe on the unused inks?

A: Inks usually have a 2 year shelf life from manufacture date if still sealed. once open it's recommended to use within 6 months or latest 1 year.

A: The Canon PFI-1300 Yellow Pigment Ink Tank (BH #CAPFI1300Y) is compatible with the Canon imagePROGRAF Pro-4100 Printer.

Q: 9. What is the drying time for these inks?

A: It all depends on what you are printing and how much is put on the page. We used 3 minutes for the dry time on our machine so the rollers would not smug the ink after the cut. Photo paper takes about 5 minutes to dry because the ink sets on the page and does not soak into it.

Q: 10. Is this ink dye or pigment based?

A: The PFL-102 series of inks are dye based.
