Why choose the genuine Canon PF-05 printhead
Genuine Canon printhead: it fires the ink onto the media. A genuine printhead guarantees the alignment, drop size and lifetime the manufacturer designed; replace it when the machine asks or when lines are still missing after cleaning.
When to replace it
The printer shows a message when the part's counter reaches end of life (Supplies status or Reports menu). Replacing it then avoids downtime and wear on other parts.
Printers compatible with the 3872B001
The 3872B001 is compatible with the following models and series (manufacturer data):
- iPF6300
- iPF6350
- iPF8300
Check the exact reference of your printer (label or Information menu); suffixes are variants of the same series and generally use the same consumables. If in doubt, send us the exact model.
Installation
Replacement guided by the machine's menu: the carriage moves into position, lift the old printhead out, remove the protective caps from the new one and clip it in; the machine runs the automatic alignment. Do not touch contacts or nozzles.
Use and tips
Replace the part when the machine asks for it.
Keep the part in its packaging until the intervention. After installation, check that the counter has restarted from zero (Supplies status or Maintenance menu).
