Pigment(ed) ink for dye ink Canon printers (IP4500)

[vcelkamaja]

Does somebody here have an experience with pigment(ed) inks that can be used for Canon Pixma dye based inkjets? I have IP4500 and I would like to print onto baryta papers (e.g. Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre) that only accept pigment inks.

I know there are e.g. Kyson inks with small pigment particles specially designed for Canon inkjets.

Does somebody have an experience with them? How about clogging? And what about print quality coparing with original dye based inks? (saturation, vibrance, blacks...)

Regards,

Don't bother with Kyson inks. They are not pigmented. I had the CIS for my i9950 and their so called pigment ink. Prints faded within a month of printing - no matter what paper I used. I didn't have any clogging issues - so that's a plus point! Even though I profiled all my papers with the Kyson ink, I still had a green tinge to the prints which made skins tones look sickly. Otherwise the colours (when profiled) were okay similar to Canon's (except for the green tinge!).
