The Canon CLI-8M is an original ink cartridge in magenta colour, specifically developed for inkjet printers of the PIXMA series. It serves as a replacement cartridge for the print heads in various Canon printers and enables resumption of the printing process after consumption of the previous ink. The cartridge is based on pigment-based ink, which ensures high colour brilliance and longevity of prints. The ChromaLife100 technology supports print quality and delivers vibrant images in both colour and black and white. The cartridge has a capacity of 13 ml and delivers up to 565 pages according to the manufacturer’s specifications, based on ISO/IEC 24711 standard print quality, referring to photos in 10 x 15 cm format or 59 photos in A3+ format with margin.

Applications

The CLI-8M is intended for a wide range of Canon PIXMA models, including the iP3300, iP3500, iP4200, iP4300, iP4500, iP5200, iP5200R, iP6600D, iP6700D, MP500, MP520, MP530, MP600, MP610, MP800, MP800R, MP810, MP830, MP950, MP960, MP970, MX700, MX850, Pro9000 and Pro9000 Mark II series. These printers are used in private households, small offices and home offices, where high print quality and reliability are required. The cartridge is therefore suitable for users who produce professional photo prints, documents or presentations.

Functions and Features in Detail

The cartridge is designed as an original product by Canon, ensuring compatible and error-free integration into the printers. The pigment ink offers higher resistance to light and moisture compared to dye-based inks, which is particularly beneficial for photos and documents intended for long-term archiving. The magenta colour is a primary tone in the CMYK colour model and is essential for reproducing red tones, purple and pink shades, as well as overall colour reproduction. The cartridge is supplied as a single unit, with the packaging containing technical data and compatibility information.

Technology Explained Simply

The pigment-based ink consists of finely dispersed colour pigments in a liquid, which are applied to the paper during printing. Compared to dye-based inks, which contain soluble dyes, pigment inks offer higher resistance to fading and colour loss. The ChromaLife100 technology is a Canon process that enhances print quality and extends the lifespan of printed materials. The cartridge is designed for use in inkjet printers, where ink is applied to the paper through fine nozzles. Print quality is supported by FINE technology (Full Photolithographic Inkjet Nozzle Engineering), which ensures precise droplet placement.

Compatibility and Accessories

The CLI-8M is compatible with the Canon PIXMA printer models listed above. The cartridge is not designed for use with printers from other manufacturers or other Canon model series. The cartridge is packaged as a single unit and serves exclusively as a replacement for the magenta ink container.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out by inserting the cartridge into the designated slot in the printer, where it is integrated through a specific shape and contact system. After insertion, the printer automatically detects and calibrates the cartridge. No additional tools or settings are required. The cartridge is designed for direct replacement and replaces the consumed ink without any additional preparation.

Operational Advantages

Using the original CLI-8M cartridge ensures consistent print quality and minimises the risk of printing errors or print failures. The pigment ink provides high durability, which is particularly advantageous for prints intended for long-term storage. The cartridge is suitable for use in offices and private households where reliable and high-quality printing performance is required. The print capacity of 565 pages enables efficient use with infrequent replacement cycles.
