Combo pack that makes sense - a good value for OEM ink
By JB
I've taken issue with Canon ink cartridges for the fact that over time the capacities have shrunk dramatically. For example, older tanks like the Canon CLI-8 were 13ml capacity, the later gen Canon CLI-221 shrunk to 9ml, and the most recent Canon CLI-251 shrunk even further to 7ml. Note that this isn't just a Canon issue; the incredible shrinking ink cartridge has affected HP and Epson as well, perhaps even more so than Canon.

So I appreciate the fact that Canon kept the capacity of these new CLI-42 tanks at 13ml. This makes them a reasonable value - even if these cartridges cost somewhat more than the newer tanks mentioned above, the cost per ml is much less. And by using OEM ink, you'll get the best results and least headaches printing on Canon printers like the Canon PIXMA Pro-100 Color Professional Inkjet Photo Printer.

Another plus for the CLI-42 is that these tank are clear, allowing you to eyeball the remaining ink levels. Most other current Canon ink tanks are opaque; with these you must rely on the printer to tell you when to replace the ink, and occasionally printers get it wrong and tell you a tank is empty when it isn't.

As for the combo sold here, it contains all of the inks required to use the Pro-100, without missing ink tanks or unneeded throw-ins like a few sheets of 4x6 paper. And it saves you about $10 over the cost of buying the tanks individually.

It's ink
By DKK
Not much to say - it's ink. Combined with the Pro-100 it produces wonderful prints!
Based on price the 8 pack is the way to go.

Excellent ink makes beautiful prints, but expensive.
By Les Barry
Excellent ink makes beautiful prints, but expensive. The PIXMA Pro-100 printer works great, flexible, easy to use, excellent color prints, good monochrome prints.
