The grey ink is always helpful for printing photos. Canon does a great job.

question

I have decided on the Canon PRIMX mg7120 inkjet printer, which you have. It takes 6 individual cartridges of ink so you can replace the ones which run low on an individual basis. Ican find 5 on your website. The one missing is CLI-251 Pigment Black which is different from regular black. Youhave the regular black, and the HI Capacity magenta, gray, yellow, & cyan. I wont tell you how long it took me to findthose. However, the Pigment Black I could not find. Are you out of it?? If you go to the Canon printer and look at the specifications, it will be easier to see what I am writing about. The inks are also listed in in the box under the printer. Thank you!!!

I apologize for the difficulty you had in finding the inks. The Pigment Black Inks are PGI-250PGBK. Please see the link below:http://bhpho.to/1dUhKY1

Why don't these say 100+ anywhere on the box or description? Are these the OLD Chromalife 100 inks, not the new 100+?
