Frequently Asked Questions

What does photo magenta do for skin tones and warm highlights?

Photo magenta is the light, warm gradient ink in the ten-color PGI-9 LUCIA pigment system. The paler photo version applies evenly where full-strength magenta would show as coarse dots, so faces keep their softness, blush tones stay believable and warm skies melt from peach to pink without steps.

Which printers is this PGI-9 Photo Magenta cartridge made for?

It fits the Canon PIXMA iX7000, the Canon PIXMA MX7600, the Canon PIXMA Pro9500 and the Canon PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II. Those are the only verified models for this PGI-9 tank, so please confirm your printer is listed before ordering.

Faces in my prints look blotchy — where should I look first?

Look at this tank. Blotchy or grainy skin is a typical symptom of photo magenta running low or printing with a partial clog, Run a nozzle check, clean only if that pattern is broken.

How is photo magenta different from the standard magenta position?

Depth. The photo ink handles the light end — highlights, pastels and the first blush of a warm tone — while deeper, saturated reds and purples are built with help from companions such as PGI-9 Red. The two warm tanks are separate, are not interchangeable, and each must be replaced with its own color.

What page count is quoted for this cartridge?

About 210 pages at the ISO/IEC 24711 benchmark of roughly 5% coverage. Portrait-heavy printing draws steadily on photo magenta through every face and warm background, while cool landscapes lean instead on its partner, PGI-9 Photo Cyan. Your mileage will follow your subject matter more than the benchmark.

Will the printer recognize this tank and track its level?

Yes. A new compatible chip is fitted to this PGI-9 cartridge, so recognition and ink level reporting work normally, with no workaround required for everyday printing. If a Canon firmware update ever brings up a recognition warning, reseat the cartridge and restart the printer; a tank that still will not print is covered by the Lifetime Warranty.

Do sunsets really use both photo magenta and red?

They do, at different depths. Photo magenta builds the pale upper sky and the soft glow around the sun, the standard colors carry the middle, and red extends the deepest saturated band near the horizon. That hand-off, with PGI-9 Gray holding the neutrals, is why this system holds a long sunset without banding.

How should I keep a spare photo magenta cartridge?

Sealed in its packaging, upright, at room temperature and away from direct sunlight or a hot vehicle. Install it when the printer calls for the change, and keep the spent cartridge out of the trash stream by recycling it.

Is this an original Canon cartridge?

No, it is a Clever Supplies compatible cartridge built to the same PGI-9 specification, filled with pigment ink and rated at the same yield as the original Canon photo magenta, at a lower price. It is a new compatible tank, not a refilled original, and our Lifetime Warranty replaces the Canon warranty.

What protection do I get with it?

A Lifetime Warranty: if this cartridge ever leaks, fails to be recognized or prints poorly, contact us for a replacement or a refund. Returns are covered for 1 Year as well.
