I'm going through old emails -- not sure if this is still a question.
I use Canon blue and cyan color pigments for the current generation of variable tone B&W inksets. I combine there with carbon that MIS sells (source - STS inks).
The Canon Lucia Blue (PFI-106B) and Cyan (PFI-106C) are the inks used in Canon’s iPF6300 printer. See for example,
https://www.itsupplies.com/Canon/Canon-imagePROGRAF-iPF6300/iPF6350.
Many outlets sell the Canon inks. ITsupplies has about the best prices.
I buy the wide format carts and drain their contents into a 4 oz. empty bottle (recycled MIS inks 4 oz. size, for example. I use a clean awl to simply poke one hole at one end and another air inlet hole at the other. The ink drains out simply, but I don't store them in the OEM carts after then are once opened or used.
Obviously other color inks could be used. The best are reasonably priced given the amounts I use. So that is what I do.

How about the Canon pigment inks that are needed (blue and cyan). Does Printer Filling Station have these? I've been searching their web page but I think what I am looking for are the inks for the iPF series of printers and PFS does not list them. The Canon numbers are PFi-101B/0891B001AA and PFi-101C/0884B001AA. If would sure be nice to find a supplier of 2oz or 4oz bulk bottles of these.
