The Canon SUPL (manufacturer number 0617B001) is an original print head for colour printing, specifically developed for a range of PIXMA printers. It serves as replacement consumable material and is filled with pigment-based ink designed for high print quality and long-lasting colour durability. The cartridge contains the three primary colours Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow and is designed for use in home and office environments where colour documents and photos require good colour accuracy and resistance to fading.
Applications
The print head is compatible with a wide range of Canon PIXMA models, including the iP1600, iP1700, iP1800, iP2600, iP6210D, iP6220D, iP6310D, MP140, MP150, MP160, MP170, MP180, MP190, MP210, MP450, MP460, MP470, MX300, and MX310 series. Compatibility also includes refurbished models that are reconditioned and returned to sale. The cartridge is particularly used for printing colour documents and photos, with the ChromaLife100 system contributing to colour tone stability and long-term durability.
Features and Equipment in Detail
The cartridge has a capacity of 12 ml and is designed as standard capacity. The pigment-based ink offers improved resistance to water and light compared to conventional dye-based inks, which is especially beneficial for documents and photos intended for long-term storage. The three-colour configuration enables reproduction of a broad colour palette, with Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow forming the basis for all other tones.
Technology Explained Simply
The use of pigment ink means that the colour pigments are finely dispersed in the ink and do not dissolve as in dye-based inks. This results in better colour brilliance and higher resistance to fading. The integrated ChromaLife100 system supports print quality and ensures even colour distribution. According to the manufacturer, the print yield is 180 pages, although the actual number may vary depending on print type and settings.
Compatibility and Accessories
The print head is exclusively intended for the specified Canon PIXMA models. It is not suitable for other brands or models. The cartridge is available as a single unit per package and is directly inserted into the printer system.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by inserting the cartridge into the designated slot in the printer. The exact procedure is described in the user manual of the respective printer. The cartridge is designed to fit only in the correct position to prevent incorrect installation. After insertion, the printer typically performs a self-test to verify correct placement.
Operational Advantages
Using the original print head ensures optimal print quality and prevents potential damage to the printer that could result from incompatible or low-quality replacement parts. The high ink yield allows for longer usage duration, reducing operating costs. Additionally, pigment ink offers better durability, which is especially advantageous for documents and photos intended for long-term storage.
Country of Manufacture and Packaging
The cartridge is manufactured in Japan. The packaging has a width of 82 mm, depth of 142 mm, and height of 54 mm. The package weight is 80 g. The packaging is designed to protect the cartridge during transport and prevent damage.
