This ridiculously hot deal is back from 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 ends on October 15th, or when sold out — 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.
Just scored mine!
3rd deal you’ve helped me score, CanonPriceWatch.com
1st was my 7d mkii, 2nd was my pixma pro-100 for $100 with a free 50 pack of paper, and now this! You guys rock!
Wish they would offer deals on Canon 29 ink sets
I need the ink but am still sitting on TONS of paper from the last time they did this.
Me too! It’s a huge, heavey box!
Thanks! I think I’m stocked up on paper now for a bit.
I did this the last time and scored multiple paper packs which was great.
I was curious if it applied to the PGi inks so I opened up the chat applet and asked….this was my response.
do we need to actually do completely separate transactions to make this work? i’m seeing only one “free gift” with the full cart of 2×8.
for those following along, i just spoke to canon rep via chat. you do need to complete separate transactions. pretty tedious, but it’s a lot of paper.
Sweet. $145 total for me for one set of ink and all this paper. I’ll sell the ink for a solid $95 and $50 total for this is an amazing deal!!!
Anybody know typically a ink set can print how many 13*19 sheets?
It depends on what you print, I’d say about 25-30 and you’ll need to at least replace one of them
Wish it was more 8.5×11 luster I have so much 13×19 from last year I will never use it all. Still a great deal
I curious why Canon does not label the back of their paper with their logo or something to the effect that this is printed on authenic Canon paper for the best possible results. With it being blank it looks like generic paper.
Any idea what the 2 Packs of PRO Paper Sampler Package.include? I loaded up the last time they did this and have 15 or so matte packages of 50 pieces each of 8.5 x 11 paper..
Ha Ha, the funny thing is I decided to order more ink and pay for it with the Canon Amex Prepaid reward cards they send me when I buy the printers. I have three Pixma-100’s and One Pixma-10.

Deal is now dead, or rather “free gift is currently out of stock”. Tried to order last night, got a shopping cart empty error when checking out. (Possibly my older Mac/browser to blame there). Today tried again using a newer Mac, it’s now out of stock. Grrr!
Any way to be notified of future paper/ink deals for the PRO-100 without getting ALL the deal alerts every day? I’d also like to grab one of the buy one, get 4(9?) free deals on 4×6/5×7/8.5×11 paper too…
They extended the deal to October 31st so i assume they will be adding more paper into inventory soon.
I just ordered this deal in 4 separate transactions. The paper is showing in stock as of 11am on the east coast. Great deal!
