Canon CLI-42 Cyan Ink Cartridge

The ChromaLife100+ formulation really holds up—my test print has been sitting in indirect sunlight for weeks and the cyan hasn't shifted a bit. Colors come out vibrant right out of the box, no banding or muddy tones.

I was hesitant about the cost, but the print quality with this cartridge is noticeably richer and more vibrant than the generic brand I used before. The colors in my photo book are holding up well so far.

The ChromaLife100+ formula really does hold up—my test prints have kept their color depth for weeks without any fading. Only gripe is the price feels a bit steep for a single cyan, but the photo clarity is worth it.
