Brand new CANON TM-255 OEM inks - ink scratches really easy from glossy media

[palombian]

One of the reasons I switched to Canon large format (pigment) inks to refill my PRO-10 was the scratch resistance.
In particular 3th party PBK did not adhere on glossy papers. I've even seen GY from a German supplier you could blow away from the paper.
With the Canon ink I print on every kind of paper without issues.

Are the plotter inks a subset (less colors) of the photo printers, or is the ink only made for drawings and poster media ?
Anyway, the cartridge numbers are different.

Well I am using the original inks that came with the printer, not refills but consider changing to inktec pigment ink if there will be no problem with them (however I am not sure how easy I will switch to them - I found cartridges and chips but I am not familiar how I will swap the inks since there are ink tubes from the cartridges to the head).

It is 5 color (MBK,BK,C,Y,M) printer, CAD and posters mainly.

EDIT : I found Canon PVP-201 Pro Photo Variety Pack A4 from a local dealer which says it has

• 5 sheets PT-101 Pro Platinum
• 5 sheetss LU-101 Pro Luster
• 5 sheets PM-101 Pro Premium Matte

I wonder if they are the same like the roll papers - 1107C Photo Paper Pro Platinum 300 g/m² for example

The papers (cut sheet and roll) are the same as far as surface finish, yet there may be some other differences, such as thickness.

Once you have the Canon test papers and set the media settings for those papers, you are well on your way to understanding the capabilities of your printer and ink.
