So long as you’re printing on Canon’s media that’s made for that printer the results rate fairly well for longevity. Not as good as pigments of course, but not bad either. I think they’re at least as durable if not better than Fuji Crystal Archive prints. The key is to use media with a swelable coating when using dye based inks. The inks for the 100 are actually a hybrid type and not straight dyes.

I became so fed up with Epson clogs both on 7800 and small desktop  printers, that I bought a Canon Pixma Pro 100 because the rebate was so good. However, it is dye, not pigment. What is the opinion about using this for serious prints?
