Impact on Various Printer Models

The discontinuation of these inks will directly impact a range of Canon’s imagePROGRAF printers. Users of affected models, such as the iPF6300, iPF8300, and iPF9400 series, need to be aware of these changes to avoid disruptions in their printing operations. As these inks are phased out, it will become increasingly important for users to manage their inventory carefully and consider alternative options well in advance.

Steps for Customers to Plan Their Purchases

With the discontinuation date set for November 2025, it is crucial for customers to start planning their purchases now. Here are some steps to ensure a smooth transition:

  1. Review Current Stock: Assess your current inventory of the affected inks to determine how much more you might need until the discontinuation date.
  2. Contact Your Account Manager: Reach out to your Alloys Account Manager for detailed information on stock availability and to place your orders.
  3. Explore Alternatives: Begin researching and testing alternative inks or printers that could serve as replacements once the current stocks are exhausted.
  4. Plan Budget: Allocate budget for purchasing additional supplies before the discontinuation to avoid last-minute shortages.

As Canon phases out these specific inks, now is the perfect time to speak with your customers about replacement solutions.  Upgrading to a new printer will give your customer a completely new printing experience with enhanced features and better support. And don’t forget, every Canon device comes with a 2-year warranty that also covers printheads. Speak with our Large Format Print sales team today to discuss the best option for your customer.
