Canon use Dye in their pigment bottled ink !

[The Hat]

The other day I needed an A4 sign for an advertisement, so when I was finished making it up, I displayed it in the outdoors, I used, Red and Black for all of the text and I taught that was that..

Well to my amazement the black colour ran off the paper, while the other colour held up to the rain, this was printed on a Canon Maxify using Canon bottled inks..

The offending Canon bottled ink (170 ml) was Canon GI-56<BK>.. and I have now removed this ink out of the black Cart and replaced with Chinese Compatible HP BK pigment ink..

Now the prints are colour fast again.. So much for using genuine Canon inks.. !
I have never questioned the quality of Canon inks before, but now I know different..
