Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Are there region coding for the Pro 300 ink cartridges?

A: Yes, the ink cartridges would have a region coded chip.

Q: 2. Is there an expiration date on the ink cartridges. If so, how long do they typically last? Need this to decide whether to go with 330ml or 700 ml.

A: Ink cartridges will usually have a manufacturing date as opposed to an expiration date (some may). The general idea is that cartridges are good for up to 18 months after manufacturing. Keeping cartridges in their sealed packaging prevents them from drying out.

Q: 3. Is this compatible with canon pro 2100?

A: Yes the Canon PFI-1300 Photo Gray Pigment Ink Tank (330mL) is compatible with the Canon Pro 2100.

Q: 4. Can I mix different size cartridges? Especially 700ml and smaller 110ml cartridges? I use a lot of black ink and much less of the colored inks.

A: Yes. As the smaller tanks ran out I added the larger ones. I still have one small left. There doesn't seem to be any issue with the different sizes. in

Q: 5. What is the shelf life of Canon PFI-1300 ink? In other words how long can I store a new sealed tank before it goes bad?

A: These inks have a shelf life of 18-24 months.

Q: 6. on average, how many prints would one get from a cartridge - 11x14 prints?

A: Unfortuantely Canon does not specify ink yields for the Canon PFI-1100 inks. Ink yields will vary based on content being printed, media printed on, and the environment in which one is printing. For this reason, ink yields are not provided for these inks.

Q: 7. is this dye based ink? Or pigment?

A: The ink would be Pigment based for both the colored inks and as well as the black inks.

Q: 8. Does the chroma optimizer have to be installed for the printer to work?

A: Yes, it does.

Q: 9. What is the shelf life of an unopened set of ink and also when in use?

A: If properly sealed, the ink should easily last for more than a year when stored appropriately. As for opened ink, the cartridges should be installed, and the Canon large format printer should be left on. That way the Canon large format printer will perform an electronic nozzle check periodically to maintain the cartridge. It uses only a small amount of ink to do that, and that process does keep the ink fresh and usable indefinitely. (Please note that this comment does not necessarily apply to non Canon or non large format printers.)

Q: 10. what is the shelf of the ink once it is installed in the printer?

A: No clear answer. I asked Canon, but only got vague assurance that there was no set expiration.
