Canon PFI-1000 PBK Photo Black Ink Cartridge – imagePROGRAF PRO-1000
The Canon PFI-1000 PBK is a Photo Black ink cartridge made for the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 professional photo printer, rated for 2,205 pages at 4x6" per the ISO 29103 test standard.
Compatibility
This cartridge fits the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 only. Before ordering, check the model name on your printer's front panel or in its settings menu — Canon uses different cartridge series (PFI-numbered) across its imagePROGRAF range, so a PRO-1000 cartridge will not fit other imagePROGRAF or PIXMA models.

Why this is the right pick
If you're running a Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 for photo output, Photo Black is the tank you reach for on glossy and semi-gloss paper (Matte Black handles matte and fine-art stock). The PRO-1000 uses a multi-tank ink system, so Photo Black and Matte Black install separately and don't need to be swapped in and out — you keep both loaded and the printer switches between them automatically based on the paper you select.
Is the Canon PFI-1000 PBK compatible with my printer?
Only with the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000. Check your printer's model name before ordering — Canon's imagePROGRAF range uses several non-interchangeable PFI cartridge series.
Is this a genuine Canon cartridge or compatible/remanufactured?
It's listed with Canon as the vendor, indicating a genuine Canon-supplied cartridge, not a third-party compatible or remanufactured one.
How many pages will this cartridge print?
Rated for 2,205 pages at 4x6" under the ISO 29103 standard. Actual output varies with image density and paper.
What's the difference between Photo Black and Matte Black on the PRO-1000?
Photo Black suits glossy/semi-gloss paper; Matte Black suits matte/fine-art paper. Both sit in separate dedicated tanks, so no swapping is needed.
Does this come as a single cartridge or a multi-pack?
One Photo Black cartridge (PFI1000PBK) per order. No bundle option on this listing.
Will genuine Canon ink affect my printer warranty?
Genuine Canon cartridges keep your printer within Canon's standard warranty terms. Check your printer's documentation for specifics.
How do I confirm my printer is a PRO-1000?
The model name is printed on the printer housing and shown in its settings menu. Confirm before ordering, especially if buying for someone else.
Does this cartridge have an expiry date?
No shelf-life figure is confirmed for this listing. Check the date printed on the box on arrival and store it cool and dry.
