I color calibrate my monitors, and I use ICC profiles for my specific printer and paper stock. So why would I use 3rd party ink that can vary in color, or possibly clog my jets? Yes, this has happend too many times, it's not just academic. Anyway, Canon ink is beautiful, always consistent in color, and it's never clogged my printer even after months of not using it. And that's worth paying a bit more.

is this a dye based ink?
is this a dye based ink?
Yes. The CLI inks (I use them in my Canon Pro-100 printer) are dye-based. You can read about them on the Canon site. Also you can search online for dye-based vs pigment-based printer inks.
These CLI inks have worked very well for me - good color and fade resistant. I am confident that those sold by B&H are genuine Canon inks. That is not always the case for the ones sold on other sites even if the package appears to be a legitimate Canon product.
