    The Options
    The Canon ChromaPLUS ink system, which you can find in such desktop photo printers as the Canon i9900 and PIXMA iP8500, features the addition of red and green dye-based inks. The eight-color system is capable of producing shades of red, orange and green that weren’t possible with four-color printers. Sunsets print with finer transitions between the pinks, yellows and oranges of the sky, skin tones are more subtle and realistic, and the greens in foliage are deeper and richer. Each of the inks comes in individual tanks so that you can replace only the color that runs out instead of throwing out an entire set of colors.
