Black-and-White Photo Printing:

The PGI-29 grey ink tank is a key component of the PIXMA PRO-1's advanced monochrome printing system. The grey ink works in conjunction with the dark grey and light grey inks to provide smoother tonal transitions and eliminate color casts that can occur when using only black ink for monochrome printing. This multi-grey system delivers superior black-and-white photo quality with exceptional detail in midtones.

Performance Benefits:

LUCIA pigment-based grey ink provides smooth tonal gradations and neutral grey tones, making it essential for professional black-and-white photography. The grey ink works with the other grey inks to expand the tonal range and deliver superior monochrome prints with excellent detail in highlights, midtones, and shadows.

Photo Printing Tips:

For best black-and-white photo quality, ensure all grey ink tanks are installed (including PGI-29 dark grey, grey, and light grey) for optimal tonal balance and the widest tonal range. The grey ink is particularly important for achieving smooth tonal transitions in midtone areas and subtle detail in the middle grey tones of black-and-white photographs.
