Q: 1. I saw a previous answer to "How many pages will a cartridge print?" But I think a ballpark estimate would help. Let's just say they are 17" x 22" borderless prints of a clown parade in Time Square, NYC on a summer sunny day on the highest quality setting. 50? 100? 500? Just looking for a educated guess. Thank You

A: The Canon PFI-1000 LUCIA PRO 12 Ink Tank Set (BH# CAPFI1000LPP) is a complete set of inks in all colors available for the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 17" Professional Photographic Inkjet Printer (B&H# CAPP1000) including 11 colors and one chroma optimizer ink cartridge. Printing a photo from a parade with a large red balloon will more quickly exhaust the magenta ink. Using chroma optimizer on all prints will more quickly exhaust that cartridge. Different papers require different amounts of ink to get an accurate image. As you can see, there's no one good answer to that question. If the choices you've given, 50 would be the best answer but it could be 100. It would not be 500.

Q: 2. What is the amount of ink used when replacing an empty ink tank?

A: When you use the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 printer for the first time after you install the bundled ink tanks, the printer consumes a small amount of ink in the amount to enable printing by filling the nozzles of the Print Head with ink. For this reason, the number of sheets that can be printed with the first ink tanks is fewer than the succeeding ink tanks, which would not subsequently require filling the print heads. The printing costs described in the brochures or websites are based on the consumption data from not the first ink tank /ink cartridge but the succeeding ink tank /ink cartridge. Ink is sometimes used to maintain the optimal printing quality as well.

Q: 3. Does the chroma optimizer have to be installed for the printer to work?

A: Yes, it does.

Q: 4. Are there region coding for the Pro 300 ink cartridges?

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

Q: 5. What is the shelf-life unopened?

A: Unopened ink should last 2 years if stored in a cool dark, and safe space.

Q: 6. Canon PFI-301BK Black Ink Tank (330 ml) for iPF8100 printers?

Q: 7. how many pages will the cartridges print on Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000???

A: No way to answer this question. Depends on so many things. Paper, sizes, color, B&W, graphics, photos, head cleaning rituals - to name a few.

Q: 8. 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: 9. Is the ink waterproof or water-resistant?

A: The Canon PFI-300 Ten Color Ink Tank Pack is pigment based ink and when used with weather resistant media will offer some weather of weather resistance.

Q: 10. As a very rough approximation, how many full color 8x10 pages could be printed with one ink set?

A: This printer hasn't been available yet nor is the ink. The ink tanks have 14.4 ml in each tank which is .4 of a mil more than the ink of its predecessor the Canon Pro 10 14 ml tanks. It all depends on the colors & density of each print, for example: you might use 2 magentas b4 you finish 1 cyan & some prints have lighter backgrounds. Even Canon can't give you an approximate answer & only experience will tell. The print quality of these printers are 'out of this world' so even if prints are a bit pricey it pays off by far.
