Frequently Asked Questions

What does this set of 14 contain?

The set contains 4 × CLI-8 Black (up to 280 pages each); 2 × CLI-8 Cyan (up to 280 pages each); 2 × CLI-8 Magenta (up to 280 pages each); 2 × CLI-8 Yellow (up to 280 pages each); 2 × CLI-8 Photo Cyan (up to 450 pages each); 2 × CLI-8 Photo Magenta (up to 450 pages each). Fourteen tanks — and note what is absent: there is no pigment black in this box.

Which printers is a dye-only set for?

Seven photo models: the Canon PIXMA iP6600D, Canon PIXMA iP6700D, Canon PIXMA MP950, Canon PIXMA MP960, Canon PIXMA MP970, Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II and Canon PIXMA Pro9000. These are the image-first machines of the CLI-8 era — photo printers and the flagship all-in-ones bought for their picture output.

Why does this set leave the pigment black out?

Because it is a restock for the photo side of the machine, bought by owners whose document tank is already covered. The dye row — black, three colors and both photo inks — is what photographs consume. If your PGI-5 slot also needs feeding, the sets that include it sit alongside this one in the catalogue.

What do the four dye blacks do in a photo printer?

They anchor the image. The CLI-8 black is a dye ink that prints photographs' shadows and depth, and photo work spends it steadily — borderless prints are black-hungry. Four of them keep the anchor tank from being the one that empties mid-album, which is why this set stocks it deepest.

How much printing do the fourteen tanks represent?

The row's combined rated yield, at $62.79, keeps the cost per page low. The photo inks at 450 pages each do the heavy lifting in that total, reflecting how much of a photograph is pale tone: the set's composition is a map of what photo printing actually consumes.

What do Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta change?

They refine the pale end of the palette. Being dilute versions of the primaries, they let the printer place light tones in finer steps, removing the grain that full-strength inks leave in skies and skin. On the Pro9000 line especially, they are the difference between a good enlargement and a gallery one.

When a tank runs dry mid-album, what happens?

The printer names the slot — every position is chip-tracked — and you fit that tank's spare from this box. One tank, one minute, and the album continues. Two rounds of most positions mean the spare is on hand precisely when a print run is underway.

How should the photo spares be kept?

Sealed and upright in a cool, shaded drawer with the rest of your photo supplies. Wrapped dye tanks wait without fading or settling concerns, and a set this size is meant to be drawn down across many months of printing sessions.

Who built these tanks?

Clever Supplies manufactures them as compatibles matched to the CLI-8 dye range, photo inks included. They are not Canon products; they are the compatible line that keeps these veteran photo printers fed at a sane running cost.

What guarantee stands behind the set?

Each of the fourteen tanks is covered individually by the Lifetime Warranty — a leak, failure or print defect earns that tank a replacement or refund. Returns are open for 1 year from purchase, cover suited to a photographer's stockpile.
