Canon CLI-42 Black Ink Cartridge 6384B002 (genuine)

Canon CLI-42 Black Cartridge

The Canon CLI-42 Black cartridge (6384B002) is a genuine dye-based ink tank built for the PIXMA PRO-100 photo printer. It supplies the dedicated black channel required for deep, neutral tones in photographic prints. Photographers and creatives who need reliable single-colour replacement will find it matches the printer's individual ink architecture.

Thermal and Power Profile

The cartridge itself has no moving parts, fans or electronic circuitry that generate heat or draw measurable power during printing. Thermal load and acoustic output are determined entirely by the printer mechanism, not by the ink tank. Replacing an empty tank with this new unit restores normal printer operation without adding noise or energy demand.

Individual Tank Benefit

Because the PRO-100 uses separate tanks for each colour, swapping only the depleted black cartridge avoids wasting ink from the other five chambers. The ChromaLife100+ formulation is rated for approximately 600 pages per cartridge, so users can plan replacements around actual black consumption rather than a combined pack cycle. This reduces both cost per print and unnecessary plastic waste.
