Canon CLI-65M Compatible Magenta Ink for PRO-200 / PRO-200S

All CLI-65 colors used in the PRO-200 are dye inks, and our Signature Edition CLI-65 ink set is dye based to match. The set covers all eight PRO-200 colors: Photo Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Gray, and Light Gray. These inks work in both the PIXMA PRO-200 and PRO-200S.

That depends on which cartridges you are filling.

Original Canon cartridges do not have a fill port, so the first refill requires a one-time modification: the screw eye hook and push pin included in the getting started kits open the port. Fill with ink and seal with the silicone plugs from the kit. From then on every later refill is simple: pull the plug, fill, and re-insert it.

If you would rather not modify anything, you can use our compatible CLI-65 cartridges, which have fill ports built in. These are available on their own or as part of the Premium getting started kit.

No. The compatible CLI-65 cartridges ship without chips. You transfer the chips from your original Canon tanks to the compatible bodies; the process takes about a minute per cartridge. Take care not to damage the chips during the transfer.

No. Unlike the CLI-42 system on the PRO-100, there is no resetter for CLI-65 chips. After a refill the printer's ink level readout keeps counting down, and when it reports a cartridge empty you override the warning at the printer to keep printing. Because the readout no longer reflects reality, check real ink levels visually and never let a cartridge run dry. The translucent compatible cartridges make this easy.

Yes. We offer free custom ICC profiles for the PRO-200 and PRO-200S with our Signature Edition inks, covering papers from Canon, Red River, Kirkland and Staples.

Use them with color-managed software and Relative Colorimetric rendering intent, and print with the media setting and quality listed for your profile.

Find them on the PRO-200 ICC profiles page.

Yes. Topping up before a cartridge runs low is good practice, and with dye ink a partial top-up causes no harm. It is far safer than letting a cartridge run dry.

Almost certainly not. The vast majority of issues can be cleaned up with a print head cleaning cycle or two.
