KMP Black Refill Ink Bottle for Canon PFI-050BK (5698C001), 70 ml, for imagePROGRAF TC-20 and TC-21 Large-Format Printers

The KMP 1588,0001 is a 70 ml black refill ink bottle that replaces the Canon PFI-050BK (5698C001) for the imagePROGRAF TC-20, TC-20M, TC-21 and TC-21M compact large-format printers, aimed at offices printing plans, posters and CAD drawings.

The TC-20 series has built-in ink tanks rather than cartridges, so this bottle is poured into the black tank when the level runs low.

• Black refill ink (PFI-050BK type) (70 ml)
• No printer, print head or cables included

• Expected output per bottle: Black refill ink (PFI-050BK type) 70 ml. KMP does not publish a page yield for this refill.
• The imagePROGRAF TC-20 series uses refillable ink tanks: you pour the bottle into the black tank, so there is no cartridge or chip to recognise.
• To compare running costs, divide the price by the rated pages and set that against the original Canon bottle — that cost per page is the real saving, not the sticker price.
• Inkjets dry out when idle: printing a page at least once a week keeps the nozzles clear and saves ink otherwise spent on cleaning cycles.

• Any printer not on the compatibility list below, even if it is the same brand or looks similar — Canon changes cartridge families between models.
• Canon imagePROGRAF models that use sealed ink tanks or cartridges instead of refill bottles — check that your printer is a TC-20 or TC-21.
• The colour tanks — this bottle is black only.
• Desktop PIXMA MegaTank printers (GI-series bottles) — different ink.
