      3-year warranty on our own-brand cartridges
      We are proud of our own-brand cartridges, so we’ve made trying them a no-brainer. If within three years of purchase you have any problem whatsoever, we’ll happily offer either a replacement or a refund.
      Returning items is easy—it takes just a few minutes. But our return rate is very low, so you’ll be unlikely to need it.
      We are confident that no other own-brand cartridges are better than ours. They produce vibrant prints with accurate colour densities and dark blacks—and their page yields are as good as the genuines, if not better. Give them a try, and see why our customers love them.
      Our own-brand cartridges are incredibly reliable for three reasons:
      1. We are the UK’s biggest seller of own-brand cartridges, and we have invested a lot in optimising them.
      2. We are dedicated to quality. Every own-brand cartridge is performance-tested before it leaves the factory.
      3. We constantly monitor customer feedback, and quickly resolve any issues.
    • Printer protection guarantee
      Our cartridges won't damage your printer—guaranteed
      Some people worry that own-brand cartridges might damage their printers. We know from experience that ours don’t.
      To reassure you, we guarantee that we’ll repair or replace your printer—for free—in the unlikely event that it gets damaged by an own-brand cartridge. This is regardless of how old your printer is. We can afford to offer this because problems are almost unheard of.
      Some people whose printers are less than a year old worry that an own-brand cartridge might invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. This isn’t true. By law, the manufacturers aren’t allowed to invalidate your warranty if you use own-brand cartridges. If something does go wrong, and our own-brand cartridges are to blame, we’ll take over the manufacturer’s warranty, offer you phone support and repair or replace your printer if needed.

      In summary, there’s zero risk in using our own-brand cartridges.

        3-year warranty on our own-brand cartridges
        We are proud of our own-brand cartridges, so we’ve made trying them a no-brainer. If within three years of purchase you have any problem whatsoever, we’ll happily offer either a replacement or a refund.
        Returning items is easy—it takes just a few minutes. But our return rate is very low, so you’ll be unlikely to need it.
        We are confident that no other own-brand cartridges are better than ours. They produce vibrant prints with accurate colour densities and dark blacks—and their page yields are as good as the genuines, if not better. Give them a try, and see why our customers love them.
        Our own-brand cartridges are incredibly reliable for three reasons:
        1. We are the UK’s biggest seller of own-brand cartridges, and we have invested a lot in optimising them.
        2. We are dedicated to quality. Every own-brand cartridge is performance-tested before it leaves the factory.
        3. We constantly monitor customer feedback, and quickly resolve any issues.
      • Printer protection guarantee
        Our cartridges won't damage your printer—guaranteed
        Some people worry that own-brand cartridges might damage their printers. We know from experience that ours don’t.
        To reassure you, we guarantee that we’ll repair or replace your printer—for free—in the unlikely event that it gets damaged by an own-brand cartridge. This is regardless of how old your printer is. We can afford to offer this because problems are almost unheard of.
        Some people whose printers are less than a year old worry that an own-brand cartridge might invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. This isn’t true. By law, the manufacturers aren’t allowed to invalidate your warranty if you use own-brand cartridges. If something does go wrong, and our own-brand cartridges are to blame, we’ll take over the manufacturer’s warranty, offer you phone support and repair or replace your printer if needed.

        In summary, there’s zero risk in using our own-brand cartridges.

Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF500 Printer Review

Expert review of the Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF500 printer

Our Verdict:

Suitable for basic office tasks and GIS/CAD applications, the Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF500 is a large format printer that promises high quality printouts with vivid colours. It is network-ready and is integrated with some of Canon's best technologies to provide excellent colour printouts. However, it is bulky and it may be outdated for newer operating systems.

Design

The Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF500 is a large format and cost-effective printer that uses 1200 dpi rendering. The ink system is adaptable so minimum adjustments on the setting is required. The sleek surface of the printer has a discreet status LCD to the left hand corner. There are 4 media paths that include 2 manual, cassette, and a roll, which the iPF500 printer can automatically switch to for more convenience. The printer is fairly fast with its 128 MB built-in RAM.

Advantages

Integrated with Canon FINE technology with the 5-ink, 6-tank system, the Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF500 produces very vivid colour printouts. There is a status LCD on-board, so it is easier to check job status. The Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF500 is network-ready with its built-in Ethernet 10/100Base-TX interface. A wide variety of media at up to 17 inches in size can be supported by this versatile printer, and its borderless printing feature allows users to maximise the use of their chosen media.

Disadvantages

The Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF500 tends to be noisy, emitting an average of 53 dBA when operating. The warranty is limited and only good for a year, and because it is an older model, finding replacement parts can be difficult. Its outdated technology makes it incompatible with newer operating systems like Windows 7. Size is another problem with the Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF500 because it weighs 39 kg and measures 12.4 inches tall, 28.9 inches deep, and 32.2 inches wide. The printer is not exactly the thriftiest when it comes to ink consumption because it uses 4 picoliters, which is higher when compared to newer models that use at least 1 pl.
