LUCIA PRO 12-Color Ink System

The PFI-1000 Red is part of Canon's advanced LUCIA PRO 12-color ink system, which includes red as a specialty color to expand the color gamut beyond what's possible with standard CMYK printing. The red ink works in conjunction with magenta and yellow to create more vibrant, accurate red and orange tones that are essential for professional photography and fine art reproduction.

The Importance of Red in Professional Printing

Red is a specialty color in the LUCIA PRO ink system that significantly expands the color gamut, particularly in the red and orange range. The PFI-1000 Red cartridge uses Canon's advanced pigment-based ink formulation to deliver brilliant, accurate red tones that are impossible to achieve with standard CMYK inks alone. This is essential for vibrant sunsets, flowers, autumn foliage, and any images featuring red or orange elements.

Why Choose Genuine Canon PFI-1000?

Genuine Canon ink cartridges are precision-engineered to work seamlessly with your Canon imagePROGRAF PRO printer, delivering consistent, professional-quality results. Canon OEM cartridges undergo rigorous quality control testing to ensure optimal performance, color accuracy, and print longevity. Using genuine Canon LUCIA PRO inks ensures your prints meet the highest professional standards and maintain their quality for decades.

Professional Print Quality

The pigment-based formulation of the PFI-1000 Red produces exceptionally vibrant colors with accurate color reproduction.
