Customer Reviews
easy to install. the printer did all the callibrating etc. prints are beautiful. I saved about 130.00 going through amazon.
Wow I just saved a ton of money buying from Amazon and replacing this myself on my iPF-700 so I'm thrilled with that. Unfortunately I think Canon has a real dog of a product in either the PF-03 print head or iPF series of plotters. I bought the iPF when it first hit the market. I specifically asked my sales rep (I know) if Canon had improved their penchant for killing the consumer with maintenance costs. I was assured they had. Now I'm on my third or fourth one of these lousy, expensive print heads. All but the last one cost me ~$700 minimum to replace. That was factory Canon service and parts. That didn't include the extra costs of prematurely filling up the Maintenance Cartridge and wasting a ton of ink in each of the six ~$70 ink cartridges! This last go around I was quoted ~ $1000 to replace the print head and that was the last straw. I decided if I couldn't buy the part and do it myself I'd rather just go back to my trusty HP equipment and save myself the hassle. The long term cost of ownership would pay for the plotter!
Well guess what? Replacing the print head is super easy! Go to the menu of the plotter, tell it you want to replace the print head and it walks you through it step by step. It is as easy as changing an ink cartridge on many inkjets. So I went from a $1,000 service call to the Amazon price on the PF-03. DEAL!
In summation Amazon is doing a fine job delivering this item at a good price. Canon dropped the ball on the design. BTW, everyone I know has had the same issues, and it is always the cyan portion that is damaged on the print head on an iPF-700. On a HP you would only have to replace a $70 head...
