Canon CLI-42 Black Cartridge

The Canon CLI-42 Black cartridge (6384B002) is a genuine dye-based ink tank built for the PIXMA PRO-100 photo printer. It supplies the dedicated black channel required for deep, neutral tones in photographic prints. Photographers and creatives who need reliable single-colour replacement will find it matches the printer's individual ink architecture.

Thermal and Power Profile

The cartridge itself has no moving parts, fans or electronic circuitry that generate heat or draw measurable power during printing. Thermal load and acoustic output are determined entirely by the printer mechanism, not by the ink tank. Replacing an empty tank with this new unit restores normal printer operation without adding noise or energy demand.

Individual Tank Benefit

Because the PRO-100 uses separate tanks for each colour, swapping only the depleted black cartridge avoids wasting ink from the other five chambers. The ChromaLife100+ formulation is rated for approximately 600 pages per cartridge, so users can plan replacements around actual black consumption rather than a combined pack cycle. This reduces both cost per print and unnecessary plastic waste.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Canon CLI-42 Black cartridge in my PIXMA PRO-100 and what step do people miss?

Open the top cover, wait for the carriage to stop, press the tab on the empty CLI-42BK tank to release it, then slide the new cartridge in until it clicks. The step often missed is removing the orange protective cap and tape before insertion.

What maintenance or replacement will the CLI-42 Black cartridge need after the ink runs out?

When the estimated 600 pages are printed, replace only the black tank. The printer uses individual dye-based cartridges, so the other colour tanks stay in place. Run a nozzle check or cleaning cycle from the maintenance menu if prints show gaps.

What limit appears first during long, continuous printing with the CLI-42 Black cartridge?

The dye-based ink will exhaust after roughly 600 pages, which is the first hard limit. Extended sessions may also trigger the printer’s internal cooling pause, but the page yield is the fixed constraint.
