LUCIA PRO 12-Color Ink System

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

The Importance of Blue in Professional Printing

Blue is a specialty color in the LUCIA PRO ink system that significantly expands the color gamut, particularly in the blue range. The PFI-1000 Blue cartridge uses Canon's advanced pigment-based ink formulation to deliver brilliant, accurate blue tones that are impossible to achieve with standard CMYK inks alone. This is essential for vibrant skies, ocean scenes, and any images featuring deep blue elements.

Why Choose Genuine Canon PFI-1000?
