Frequently Asked Questions

What does this set of 8 contain?

One tank of each CLI-65 ink: Photo Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Gray and Light Gray. The complete eight-ink complement of Canon's current dye photo printers — every position in the row, in a single $95.88 box.

Which printers use the CLI-65 set?

Two models: the Canon PIXMA PRO-200 and the Canon PIXMA PRO-200S. Canon's A3+ dye photo printers share this eight-ink system, and no other printers in the catalogue take these tanks. If your machine is one of the two, this is its full palette.

Why is the lead black called Photo Black?

Because it is formulated for photographs, not documents — a dye black that sinks into photo paper and blends with the colors for deep, glossy shadows. These printers are image machines first; their black serves the print, and text is something they do politely rather than professionally.

What do Gray and Light Gray each contribute?

Steps. Two neutral inks divide the tonal scale more finely than one can, so highlights keep their detail, shadows open gradually, and black-and-white prints hold a true neutral line. In color work the same finesse appears in skies, fog and skin — the passages where banding usually announces itself.

How large are these tanks?

Compact — in the region of 6 ml class tanks, sized for printers that prize image quality per print over marathon capacity. Eight fresh tanks are the meaningful unit: a complete palette renewal, after which the printer tracks each position and calls for singles as they are spent.

How does the printer manage eight tanks?

Individually, by chip. Levels are reported per slot, and a low warning names the exact ink — including the easily confused pair, Gray and Light Gray, which are labeled and keyed distinctly. A change takes a minute: release, seat to the click, and let the machine recognize the new tank.

How should a photographer's tank stock be stored?

Sealed and upright at room temperature, away from sunlight — alongside papers and other printing supplies is the natural shelf. Wrapped tanks are stable across the spans a home photo practice consumes them, and the last of the eight performs like the first.

Whose tanks are these?

Clever Supplies, as compatibles spanning the entire CLI-65 range, Light Gray included. They are not Canon tanks; they are dimensioned, chipped and filled to the same specification, and priced as the working alternative for these printers.

Can these tanks share the row with Canon originals?

Freely. Slots are independent and each reads its own tank's chip, so a surviving original can serve beside these compatibles in any position. Conversion can happen slot by slot as originals retire — the prints will not disclose the blend.

What protection applies to the eight tanks?

The Lifetime Warranty covers each tank on its own record — a leaking or defective unit is replaced or refunded individually. A 1-year returns window also covers the order, terms proportioned to a complete-palette purchase.
