Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This ink cartridge is specifically designed for use with the Canon PIXMA PRO-1 printer. Ensure your printer model is listed before purchasing.
Setup:
- Prepare the Printer: Turn on your compatible Canon PIXMA PRO-1 printer.
- Open the Cartridge Cover: Open the printer's cover to access the ink cartridges.
- Remove Old Cartridge: Carefully remove the empty or existing Chroma Optimiser ink cartridge by gently pulling it upwards. Dispose of the old cartridge responsibly.
- Unpack New Cartridge: Remove the new Canon PGI-29CO cartridge from its packaging. Remove any protective tape or seals as indicated on the cartridge or packaging.
- Insert New Cartridge: Align the new cartridge with the correct slot and press it down firmly until it clicks into place.
- Close Cover and Initialize: Close the cartridge cover. The printer may perform an initialization process. Follow any on-screen prompts on your printer.
Care:
- Storage: Store unused cartridges in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid extreme temperatures. Recommended storage temperature is -40 to 60 °C and relative humidity of 15-90%.
- Usage: For optimal results, use the ink within six months of installation. Always ensure the cartridge is properly seated before printing.
- Cleaning: If print quality degrades, run the printer's built-in cleaning utility. Ensure the print heads are clean. The cartridge itself does not require physical cleaning; its function is internal to the printing process.
