Canon CLI-42 8 PK Value Pack Ink, 8 Pack Compatible to PIXMA PRO-100

Please, please, please, dont go cheap when buying ink for your wide format printer. Several friends of mine tried to and they clogged up the print heads on their printer or the print quality was very sub-par. I spent more on this than the knock-off brand but know it wont mess up my printer. Im a design student and regularly have to print 13x19 and 11x17 pages (often full color and full size) and the ink lasts me about 5-6 months of regular usage. My advice, print things out in black and white first so stock up on gray and black inks and then save the final products for the color.

Very good cartridges. Can’t be beat but expensive.

If you want to save money but dont care about the overall quality of the print, then the substitute inks are good enough. If you want the print to look like what you see on the monitor, then you need to spend the bucks and bite the bullet and all the other cliches and get the Canon ink set. I had some prints that I did with the original inks but then replaced the inks with the substitutes. For some prints it was fine, but where the color cast really was important, the whole print came out with a red tinge and cast. So, I calibrated the monitor again, tweaked the settings, used different papers (all Canon papers) and nothing helped. Still red. Then I read the reviews, one of them talked about the red cast, and I decided to spend the money one time to see if it made a difference. It did. The prints came out without the red cast and look like they do on the monitor. So, try it once- buy the expensive ink and see if there is a difference. If so, use the Canon ink. If not, well you still have all those replacement inks that you bought so use them. FYI- I have a Canon Pixma 100 Pro printer. Its all Canon stuff and that seems to make a difference.

great printer, great ink.

Fast, and perfect!

When buying ink 2 things are extremely important, use the printers brand ink and Paper, there is a chemical bond between Canon Paper and Canon Ink. Years ago tried non branded inks, the colors are horrible and the dont marry correctly with the printers brand paper. If you buy, Canon, Epson or HP use their inks and papers. The branded may cost more, but you get what you pay for.

Product is as advertised and works on PRO100 printer.

Would love if Canon would sell a refill kit. Not very green throwing away a perfectly good ink well

My printer works great but I wish this was not so expensive!

I use this primarily for scanning, secondarily copying, and last, as a quick backup to my Canon Pixma Pro 100 photo printer. Its so compact, easy to setup and use. Very pleased with my purchase.
