Product Information

Full details

The Canon PGI-29CO Chroma Optimiser Ink Cartridge is designed for professional and enthusiast photographers and creatives using compatible Canon PIXMA PRO-1 printers. Its key benefit is delivering uniform glossiness, expanding the color gamut, and deepening black tones for professional-quality prints with enhanced visual depth. A potential caveat is its specialized nature; it's a clear ink meant to be used alongside other color inks, not as a standalone color ink.

FAQs

What is the primary function of the Chroma Optimiser ink?

The Chroma Optimiser (clear ink) is applied over the color inks to provide a uniform gloss finish, enhance color gamut, and deepen black tones, resulting in professional-quality prints with improved depth and visual appeal.

Which Canon printer models are compatible with the PGI-29CO cartridge?

The Canon PGI-29CO cartridge is designed for the Canon PIXMA PRO-1 printer.

Can I use this cartridge on its own?

No, the PGI-29CO is a clear ink and is intended to be used alongside the other color ink cartridges in your compatible Canon printer. It optimizes the output of the color inks.

What is the estimated page yield for this cartridge?

The Colour ink page yield is approximately 429 pages for 10x15cm photos, or around 90 A3+ size prints, based on ISO/JIS-SCID standard. Actual yield can vary based on print complexity and coverage.

How do I store this ink cartridge when not in use?

Store unused cartridges in their original sealed packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Recommended storage conditions are 15-90% relative humidity and -40 to 60 °C.

What does 'Original' mean in the product description?

'Original' signifies that this is a genuine Canon-manufactured ink cartridge, designed to meet Canon's specifications for quality and performance with their printers.

How does the Chroma Optimiser ink improve print durability?

The pigment-based formula of the Chroma Optimiser, combined with its protective clear coating, helps to make prints more resistant to smudging and fading over time, contributing to their longevity.

Troubleshooting

Cartridge not recognized by printer

Ensure the protective tape has been completely removed and the cartridge is firmly seated in its slot. Try turning the printer off and on again. Clean the cartridge contacts gently with a lint-free cloth if they appear dirty.

Uneven gloss or bronzing on prints

Verify that the PGI-29CO cartridge is correctly installed and that the printer is using it in conjunction with the color inks. Run a printer head cleaning cycle and check that the printer firmware is up to date.

Poor print quality or color inaccuracies (even with Chroma Optimiser)

Check that all other necessary color ink cartridges are installed and have sufficient ink levels. Perform a printer head alignment and nozzle check. Ensure you are using the correct print settings for your media type in the printer driver.

Ink level shows empty prematurely

This may indicate that the printer is performing automatic maintenance cycles. However, if it occurs very quickly, ensure the cartridge was installed correctly. The yield of 429 pages is an estimate and actual results may vary based on print coverage and content.

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:

  1. Prepare the Printer: Turn on your compatible Canon PIXMA PRO-1 printer.
  2. Open the Cartridge Cover: Open the printer's cover to access the ink cartridges.
  3. Remove Old Cartridge: Carefully remove the empty or existing Chroma Optimiser ink cartridge by gently pulling it upwards. Dispose of the old cartridge responsibly.
  4. 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.
  5. Insert New Cartridge: Align the new cartridge with the correct slot and press it down firmly until it clicks into place.
  6. 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.
