This PGI-72 10 pack is the box to have on hand after installing the first set of cartridges in a Canon Pixma Pro-10 printer. After the first cartridge is empty, it makes sense to buy individual ink cartridges as a backup. Unless individual cartridges are a lot more than $13 each, this 10 pack will be a onetime purchase (depending on the type of printing done, some cartridges may run out much faster than the others).
This pack lists for $135. Canon offers this every day of the week with free shipping. They are also running a free promotion of sample paper and a scrapbook (not sure I understand this promotion most people using this printer are probably printing with fine art paper and the type of paper they include is not in that category).
If you print mostly black and white, there is a PGI-72 Monochrome pack (the three black / gray cartridges and one Chroma optimizer cartridge)Canon PGI-72 3 Mono + 1 Color Pack. If you use the Chroma Optimizer a lot, there is a 4 pack of optimizer (oddly it is called the PGI-72 4 Color pack at Canon) Canon PGI-72 4 Optimizer Pack. Otherwise, the 10 different cartridges are available individually.
PGI-72 ink only works in the Pixma Pro-10 printer. This is incredible pigment based ink, producing some of the best pictures I have ever seen from a desktop printer. There is no good way to tell how many pictures these ink cartridges will produce (cost per print is a really difficult calculation). The way I look at it, the cost of the paper I'm printing with is way more than what I will use up in ink. And the finished product is just so outstanding; the ink cost is just what it is.
