Printheads and cleaning fluids – keep Canon imagePROGRAF ink flowing smoothly

Large-format printing depends not only on ink but also on the condition of the print system. That’s why we include maintenance essentials in this category:

• Original OEM Printhead Canon PF-04 (3630B001) – a key component when print quality drops due to worn nozzles or persistent banding,
• Specialistic Fluid for Cleaning Heads Canon 250 ml (Uniwersalny) – helpful during maintenance routines, especially if the printer is used irregularly.

If your Canon iPF685 sits unused for longer periods, dried ink can contribute to clogs. Using the right cleaning approach and replacing a printhead when necessary can restore stable performance and reduce wasted paper and ink.

How to choose ink for Canon imagePROGRAF 685 (Canon iPF685) – practical tips

When selecting ink for Canon imagePROGRAF 685, we recommend focusing on three things: compatibility, print expectations and operating costs.

• Match the cartridge series: check whether you’re using PFI-107 or PFI-207 in your setup and stick with that line.
• Choose OEM when you want manufacturer-standard workflow: Original OEM cartridges are ideal for colour-critical environments and strict internal policies.
• Choose compatible when you want excellent quality and better value: our compatible ink cartridge for Canon iPF685 is designed to deliver results comparable to OEM. If you print a lot—CAD, drafts, posters—compatibles are often the most cost-effective route without sacrificing clarity.
