Collection: Canon Pro-10 Ink Refill

All PGI-72 colors used in the PRO-10 are pigment inks, and our PGI-72 inks are pigment based to match. The set covers all ten colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Black, Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Red, Gray, Chroma Optimizer and Matte Black. These inks work in both the PIXMA PRO-10 and PRO-10S.

Red is supplied as genuine Canon PGI-72R ink. Canon Red gives the deepest, most saturated reds, so every PRO-10 kit and set ships with it.

No modification is needed. Reset the chip first. Then place ink on the outlet pad and let the cartridge draw it in until it stops absorbing, or until it weighs about 32.5 grams.

A digital scale makes this precise. If you fill by eye until the cartridge stops absorbing, remove the excess ink before you reinstall it.

Original Canon cartridges are the best ones to refill. Their internal springs and mixing balls meter and stir the ink the way the printer expects.

Before each fill, gently agitate the bottle or rotate it end over end a number of times so the pigment is evenly mixed.

The PGI-72 resetter is USB powered and resets the chips on all 10 colors to full. The printer then tracks ink and warns you when a cartridge runs low. It is included in every PRO-10 kit and is also sold on its own.

Always reset before refilling, while the cartridge is not full, because ink on the contacts can short the resetter. Keep the chip on the contacts until the light turns solid. The first quick flicker is only detection.

Yes, and it is good practice. Every cartridge change sends the same amount of ink to the waste pad, whether you change one cartridge or ten.

Refill and reset every partly empty cartridge in one session. That saves ink and extends the life of the waste pad, which is not easy to replace on Canon printers.

Yes. We offer free custom ICC profiles for the PRO-10 with our inks, covering a wide range of papers.

Our PGI-72 inks are close to Canon's colors, so you can also print as you would with Canon inks and skip color management. Black and White Photo Print mode works as intended.

If a cartridge will not accept ink, or will not take its full volume, the spring mechanism may be stuck or air may have entered the bladder. Servicing the cartridge usually fixes it.

Servicing is also how you empty a cartridge that was filled with the wrong color.

Almost certainly not. Most print problems on refilled Canon printers come from a cartridge, not the printhead.

Run a nozzle check to find the color at fault. A cleaning cycle or two clears most streaks. If one color stays weak, service or replace that cartridge.
