Canon Pro 100 Cartridges.

[The Hat]

I got hold of the new CLI-42 cartridges today and here are pictures of it.

Its a standard CLI-8 cartridge in every detail with just a new chip on it.

The colour also looks very strange in deed the sponge is a tan colour and the reservoir ink would pass for chocolate.
I did do a finger test on it and compared to the normal Cli-8 yellow beside it and the two colours were the same shade.

This cartridge was full and I mean full, I have never seen a Canon cartridge that full before, as this is a replacement cartridge theres no telling how much ink will be in the cartridges in the printer box.

So if youre planning on getting one of these new printers than hang onto your old CLI-8 cartridges, they could come in very handy at a later date.

I test fitted this cartridge in the i9950 (BCI-6) and iP4500 (CLI-8) and it fitted like a glove..

fantastic: you can use whatever refill method you want. Durchstich, Top, American...you name it.....now what about the chip ?

Now I knew someone would mention the darn chips.

As these printers have only just reached the high street or in many cases not even before Christmas, So it will be quite some time before they get popular enough to warrant an investment in a resetter but an ARC chip should come first..

The new Pro100 uses the new inks Chromalife 100+ so I wonder if that's why the colour looks different.

I have tested both colours side by side and they are both the exactly the same despite it looking like poop..
