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
