How to choose the right cartridge – practical tips for everyday use When selecting ink for printer Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-310, start with your most-used media type and the colours you consume fastest.

- Match the code and colour: e.g., 6951C001 for Matte Black or 6960C001 for the Optimizer.
- Plan for colour consistency: if you print series work (collections, portfolios), keep spare key colours to avoid interruptions mid-project.
- Don’t forget the optimizer: it’s easy to overlook, but it can be crucial for consistent finish on certain papers.
