Canon CLI-42 Professional Ink - Magenta

The ChromaLife100+ formula really shows in the print quality — my gallery test prints have that deep, rich magenta that pops exactly how I wanted. Longevity was the main selling point for me, and so far the colors have held up beautifully in the frame.

The colors look vibrant on my matte paper, and the print is dry within minutes. Only docked a star because the price per cartridge feels steep for a single color.

I was worried about fading after seeing some test prints at a friend's house, but this magenta ink really holds up well with the ChromaLife100+ system. A nice deep color that looks vibrant without being over-saturated.
