This ridiculously hot deal has been extended and restocked at the Canon Direct Store. When you buy the 8 CLI-42 (for PIXMA PRO-100) ink tanks in pairs, you get “free gifts” of photo paper, totalling 600 sheets of 13×19″ (in semi-gloss, and pro-lustre), and 160 sheets of 8.5×11″ (in sampler packs).
The individual ink tanks cost $16.99 each. You need to buy two at a time to trigger a “free gift” with every purchase of professional ink above $30. This is a total of $135.92 (split over four separate transactions), not much more expensive than buying the combo kit for $124.99. The (inflated) retail value of all the free paper is $1599.80, which is rather silly.
This is a similar deal to the previous free paper deal. This deal sold out once already, but now has been restocked and extended until October 31st — if it doesn’t sell up first — this deal has historically sold out very quickly!
They also have a similar deal on PIXMA PRO-10 ink (but not as good as it requires 3 ink purchases to trigger the $30 threshold).
The fine print shows what is included in each “Pro Paper Variety Pack”: 1 Pack of LU-101 13X19 50 Sheets, 2 Packs of SG-201_13x19 50 Sheets and 2 Packs of PRO Paper Sampler Package.
got it thanks
The last thing I need is more photo paper. Can I please trade it for $1600 in lenses? LOL
first two arrived today. I’m pretty sure I’ll never need to order paper again now. Of course, they know what I want to put ON the paper, ink. And that’s how they’ll milk my wallet, LOL.
precision ink…
I bought this last time and I have paper coming out of my eyes!!!! So much paper!!!
Definitely a great deal…if you have to buy the ink…why not not have to buy the paper
Great notification on a very good deal if you print on large format paper.
Their out of paper when I checked this afternoon.
They’re… not their.
Congrats on being an absolute Richard. PS… Get a life!
WTF are you talking about? I corrected myself.
