If not used for a week or so the printer turns on and goes through a flush cycle. The pixma pro printers have an inbuilt timer. I might if I managed to run down a bunch close together and the price break is substantial, but that hasn't happened to me with this printer or with my earlier Pixma Pro 9000II.

I don't think I have ever bought a full set of 8. Most often, when one runs out-leaving me with no reserve for that one-I order a replacement for that and for whichever ones are nearly out at that time. I generally keep one full set in reserve and buy them individually or in small sets as they run out. Beyond that, I haven't notice any patterns striking enough to catch my attention with the mix of photos I print. For example, I make heavy use of black backgrounds, so I run through black ink fairly fast. I think the bottom line is that it depends on what you print. The printer has only one black, not different blacks for matte and other papers, so while choice of paper will affect total consumption, I don't think it will much affect the relative consumption of different colors. I am very pleased with the quality of the prints particularly if you use top of the line Canon paper. My original one simply refused to power up one day but I managed to convince Canon's CEO to replace it for free. Canon Canada wanted a flat fee of $250 CDN plus shipping(roughly $100 round trip) to fix a printer that originally cost me $300. I recently found out that if the printer breaks down, it is more expensive to have Canon repair it than buy a new one.

The printer driver gives plenty of warning when a tank is running low and I keep using them until I get a warning that continuing to print with the low cartridge could damage the printer. So I would say that all colours wear out fairly evenly. I don't print a lot but so far haven't had to purchase the same color twice before replacing the rest of the set. I started with a full set of replacement cartridges and only replace the individual tanks when they run out. Rather that buy another complete 8-cartridge set, I'd like to stock up on those cartridges which run out more frequently.Richard,
Obviously, if I were to print mainly monochrome prints, the black/gray cartridges would run out first. I wonder what colors of ink run out first for folks printing color prints with the Pixma Pro 100. I have ordered an 8-pack of OEM ink cartridges. I have decided to stick with Canon OEM ink for my new Pixma Pro 100 printer, despite the higher cost as opposed to third party ink cartridges.
