Q: 8. page yield?

A: Canon does not publish page yield on this cartridge. The reasons are cartridge yields vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, type of paper, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink color. A variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the replace cartridge signal. Part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer. Ink is used for both printing and print head maintenance. All inks are used for both black and color printing.

Q: 9. Is this ink archival?

A: ChromaLife (CLI) inks from Canon are dye based. Canon's pigment based inks start with PGI/PFI. The Pixma Pro-100 used the CLI- dye based ink. Pixma Pro-10 and imagePROGRAF PRO-100 use pigment based inks. Generally, the pigment based inks resist smudging better, and hold up longer under UV light. It's expected that Pigment inks should resist fading for 200 years, where as dye based inks will start to fade in as little as 25 years. Actual results, however, depend on the conditions. Prints which are stored specifically for archival purposes away from light and in controlled conditions will last significantly longer than prints on display particularly in bright areas. Using UV protective glass can enhance the life. Canon claims, ChromaLife (CLI) inks when used in conjunction with specific Canon photo papers, and stored properly in an archive quality album and kept in the dark can last up to 300 years. And when can be displayed indoors in areas out of direct sunlight for between 10-50 years. Other considerations are that Pigment based inks generally provide for a sharper image with darker blacks, however as they have larger particles, introduce more texture to an image. Pigment based inks would be very well suited for high contrast black and white prints, and photo's with dark areas with high detail. Dye based inks having smaller particles so lay flatter on the paper to provide a print that more closely resembles traditional darkroom prints. Images with dye based inks tend to be brighter and more vivid. As you'll note with the printer spec's, when comparing printers that use dye versus pigment based inks, you'll generally be able to achieve higher resolution prints with dye based inks due to the smaller particle size. Canon has improved the quality of its ink's significantly over the years, and the differences noted above between Pigment and Dye based inks is minimal. For most amateur photographers either option will provide good quality lasting results for many years. For my own purposes, I feel the dye based Canon ChromaLife inks are sufficient. I do not aim for long term archival, but do print photos which are stored in an album/portfolio, as well as framed and displayed in normal household and business spaces behind UV protected glass. I personally feel, given that I already archive the digital images, should I ever need to I can always re-print the image in 20-30 years should I need to.

Q: 10. How many prints should I expect to get out of one color cartridge? I print full color prints 12x16 in size.Thanks Jen

A: Due to all the variables involved in printing, Canon does not publish ink yield on this cartridge..
