Frequently Asked Questions

What does this set of 17 contain?

The set contains 3 × 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); 2 × CLI-8 Red (up to 280 pages each); 2 × CLI-8 Green (up to 280 pages each). Seventeen tanks, eight positions — the fullest row Canon ever shipped in this class.

Which printers take all eight inks?

Two: the Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II and the Canon PIXMA Pro9000. Canon's professional A3+ photo printers are the only machines with Red and Green positions alongside the photo inks. Nothing else in the catalogue can use this complete set — eight-slot owners are a small, serious club.

What do Red and Green inks add to a photograph?

Gamut — colors the standard set simply cannot reach. Saturated reds that would clip to orange, and living greens in foliage and landscape work, print true when the printer has actual red and green inks to lay down. For landscape and product photographers, those two slots are why this printer exists.

How much printing does seventeen tanks add up to?

The set's combined rated yield, at $76.25 across the row, keeps the cost per page low. For an A3+ professional printer — a class where original ink sets run to several hundred dollars — a complete compatible row at this figure changes what it costs to proof, experiment and print finals.

Why is there no pigment black in this set?

The Pro9000 line is a dye-ink photo printer through and through; its black is the CLI-8 dye tank, stocked here three deep. There is no document slot to feed. This set is a photographer's restock, complete from photo black to green, in one box.

Do the photo inks still matter alongside Red and Green?

They do different work. Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta refine pale tones — the fine steps in skies and skin. Red and Green extend the vivid end. Together the eight inks cover both the quietest and the loudest parts of an image, which is the entire design brief of this printer.

How are seventeen tanks best stored and managed?

As a working darkroom shelf: sealed, upright, grouped by color so a mid-session swap is a grab, not a search. Two rounds of most positions mean the set depletes gracefully — and because every tank is chip-tracked, the printer itself tells you which position to restock next.

Who is behind this set?

Clever Supplies, as compatibles covering the entire CLI-8 eight-ink range — including the Red and Green tanks that many compatible lines skip. Fit and rated fills match Canon's; the set is sold as the compatible alternative it is.

Can these tanks run beside Canon originals in the Pro9000?

Yes. Each of the eight slots reads its own tank independently, so a surviving original red can work among compatibles without incident. Professional owners commonly convert position by position, protecting the investment already sitting in the printer.

What protection covers the seventeen tanks?

The Lifetime Warranty stands behind each tank individually: any unit that leaks, fails or prints defectively is replaced or refunded on its own. A 1-year returns window also covers the order — terms proportioned to a professional stockpile.
