Frequently Asked Questions

What does this set of 10 contain?

One tank of each PGI-72 ink: PGI-72 Matte Black, Photo Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Gray, Red and Chroma Optimizer. The complete ten-ink system of Canon's pigment photo flagship, in a single box at $89.85.

Which printer uses all ten inks?

Exactly one: the Canon PIXMA PRO-10. The PIXMA PRO-10 is a professional A3+ pigment printer, and this ten-tank row is its signature. No other model in the catalogue has these slots — in particular the Chroma Optimizer and the twin matte/photo blacks belong to this machine alone.

What is the Chroma Optimizer?

A clear coating ink, laid over the printed image. It levels the surface differences between inked and uninked areas of glossy paper, evening out reflections so the print looks uniformly finished from every angle — the quality viewers describe as a print looking "expensive" without knowing why.

Why two blacks — matte and photo?

Because paper decides. Matte Black is formulated for matte and fine-art papers, where it achieves the deepest blacks those surfaces allow. Photo Black serves glossy and luster papers. The PRO-10 selects between them by media type, and both must be present and healthy for the machine to be fully itself.

What does the set total in rated output?

About 5,250 rated pages across the ten tanks — though on a printer whose natural unit is the A3+ enlargement, pages are a bookkeeping measure. The useful figure is the set's price: a complete ten-ink refresh at $89.85, where an original set runs to several times that.

What is the Gray tank's role in a pigment system?

Monochrome integrity. Gray pigment lays the neutral scale directly, so black-and-white prints on the PRO-10 stay free of the color drift that haunts lesser systems, with smooth steps from shadow to highlight. For photographers who print B&W seriously, gray is a headline ink, not a supporting one.

How are ten tanks managed in practice?

By exception, one at a time. The printer tracks every tank by chip and reports the low one; you fit that tank and print on. This set's job is the full refresh — or the shelf stock that makes any single low warning a thirty-second errand instead of a delivery wait.

How should the tanks be stored?

Sealed, upright, at room temperature, away from sunlight — with your papers and other darkroom supplies is the natural place. Pigment tanks in their wrappers are stable across the months a set like this is drawn down, the last performing like the first.

Who is the maker of this set?

Clever Supplies, as compatibles covering the full PGI-72 ten-ink range — including the Chroma Optimizer and Red that many compatible lines omit. They are not Canon tanks; they are the alternative that makes running a PRO-10 a sustainable habit.

What protection stands behind ten professional tanks?

The Lifetime Warranty covers each tank individually: a leaking, failing or misprinting tank is replaced or refunded on its own record. A 1-year returns window also applies to the order — terms sized for a professional's working stock.
