Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, open the printer cover and wait for the carriage to move to the replacement position. Press the release tab on the old grey cartridge to remove it, then insert the new CLI-42GY until it clicks securely into place. This ink is exclusively compatible with the Canon PIXMA PRO-100.

Avoid touching the ink port area to prevent clogging and ensure the printer is used at least once every few weeks to keep the print head nozzles clear and hydrated.
