Canon CLI-42 Professional Ink - Magenta

Magenta finally prints true to the swatch on my monitor, and the blacks in my portraits stay clean without any pink cast. The ChromaLife100+ claim about longevity is the reason I stuck with this pigment over cheaper generics, and after a month of test prints, the color hasn't faded a bit.

Installed this magenta cartridge in my PIXMA and the color is incredibly vibrant, much richer than the generic refills I used before. It printed out a sunset photo with such smooth gradations that I couldn't stop looking at it.

My prints of the family photos are hanging in the hallway now, and the magenta tones look just as rich and true as the day I printed them. The ChromaLife100+ formulation really does seem to keep the colors from fading, which was my biggest worry before trying it.
