Note: there's no mention of the "yellow jello" issue with refilling CLI-42 yellow carts!

From the link:

No customization (in-house brewing) thus no compatibility issues . All authentic as manufactured by the manufacturer

Is that a shot at Precision Colors?

Printed photos will remain vibrant and unfaded for many years and will be even longer when kept in photo albums.

That is quite the claim given the accumulated experiences reported in general on the forum for aftermarket inks. Is it true?

You can refill all Canon OEM ink cartridges with or w/o using a chip resetter.

What does a resetter have to do with refilling a cartridge? Nothing.

Why not mention the more critical issue of no reset ink level or continued automatic ink level monitoring?

'Manufactured in the US' - they are probably jumping onto this campain although it's for Canon

everything is Ultra - and if the gamut is wider than with orginal inks you would need a different profile for the correct color rendition - o.k. they are not the first one with such claims.

...and if you REALLY use a PRO-100 heavily, you can ruin it with this pigment kit!

You don't need a resetter? Interesting.

and how many printheads would you need to print all those gallons away ?

Ah ha, yet another ink retailer with grossly outrageous claims, if their inks were that good they wouldn’t have to tell fibs...

Note: there's no mention of the "yellow jello" issue with refilling CLI-42 yellow carts!

The Yellow Gello syndrome still seems too effect some US retailers but it is no longer an issue with the ink formulation used in the EU, and it can be easily mixed with OEM ink.

Printed photos will remain vibrant and unfaded for many years and will be even longer when kept in photo albums

As far as fading is concerned, ALL dye inks fade with no exceptions, but 3rd party inks fade that bit faster, so Hobbicolor claims of longevity are a load of porkies, however fading can be reduced by using proper paper that complement the ink but it can’t eliminate this problem, it will always remain an issue.

You don't need a resetter? Interesting.

The idea that you can run a Pro 100 successfully without the use of a resetter is pure fantasy, this statement is yet another load of rubbish that is totally erroneous, yes you can disable the ink monitoring but you won’t have your printer working for very long using this method...

how many printheads would you need to print all those gallons away ?

If you wish for longevity in your prints, then switch to pigment inks, but not in your Pro 100, acquiring a Pro 10 would be way cheaper than purchasing an endless supply of print heads..

Gallon of yellow pigment in picture is not opaque yellow. Pigment? Yes, really? Ever seen translucent yellow pigment ink?
Pigment ink and Dye ink has a different look inside a bottle. Look carefully and assess in all linked posted pictures.


I'm working on the Pro-1000 project. Bye.

Yes, I noticed the apparent conflict between the photo (seems to be yellow dye) and the description text (says pigment). I doubt that seller knows WHAT he is selling!
