Canon CLI-281 4-colour pack

The Canon CLI-281 value pack supplies four genuine dye-based ink cartridges in black, cyan, magenta and yellow. Each tank holds 5.6 ml of ink formulated for the ChromaLife100 system. The set suits owners of compatible PIXMA printers who want original supplies for photo and document output.

Four individual tanks replace single-colour waste

Separate cartridges let you change only the colour that runs out, reducing ink waste compared with combined tri-colour units. The black tank produces deep text and graphics while the three colour tanks deliver the blue-green and red-pink ranges needed for photos and charts. Each cartridge is rated for approximately 1500 pages.

Dye ink limits water resistance and archival life

Dye-based ink absorbs into paper rather than sitting on the surface, so prints are vulnerable to moisture and can fade faster than pigment inks under strong light. The ChromaLife100 rating applies only when genuine Canon media and recommended storage conditions are used together. Buyers needing waterproof labels or maximum fade resistance should consider pigment-based alternatives.

Questions about this item

How many pages can I print before each cartridge in the CLI-281 pack needs replacing?

Each cartridge yields approximately 1500 pages, so you can expect that volume per colour before a change is required.

What is the first limit I will hit if I print continuously with these dye-based inks?

The 5.6 mL ink volume per tank sets the practical limit; once a colour is depleted the printer stops until that cartridge is swapped.

Does the ChromaLife100 system make the printer run louder or hotter during all-day printing?

The ink formulation itself does not change printer noise, heat or power draw; those depend on the PIXMA model you are using.
