Canon PFI-4100M BK Matte Black LUCIA Pro II Pigment Ink Cartridge, 80ml

The Canon PFI-4100M BK is a professional-grade pigment ink cartridge designed for high-quality photographic and fine art printing. It contains Matte Black ink from Canon's LUCIA Pro II series, specifically formulated to deliver deep, rich blacks on matte and fine art papers. This ink is engineered for durability and archival quality, making it suitable for prints intended for long-term display or storage. The cartridge utilises pigment-based ink technology, which provides superior lightfastness compared to many dye-based inks. Canon rates the lightfastness of these inks at up to 200 years under specific display conditions, offering exceptional resistance to fading from UV exposure. The prints created with this ink are also noted for their scratch and abrasion resistance, adding to their longevity. The 80ml capacity makes it suitable for extended printing sessions without frequent cartridge changes. This ink cartridge is best suited for professional photographers, fine art printers, and serious enthusiasts who require archival-quality black and white or colour prints on matte papers. It's compatible with specific Canon professional printers that use the LUCIA Pro II ink system. The formulation ensures consistent, reliable performance with smooth gradations and excellent detail reproduction, making it a practical choice for creating exhibition prints, portfolio work, or any application where print longevity is paramount.
