LUCIA Pigment Ink Technology

The Canon CLI-42GY uses advanced LUCIA pigment ink technology, specifically formulated for professional photo printing. Unlike dye-based inks, pigment inks sit on top of the paper surface, creating more accurate tones, sharper details, and superior fade resistance. This professional-grade gray ink delivers exceptional tonal accuracy, smooth gradations, and archival-quality prints that resist fading for decades when properly stored.

8-Color Dye System for Black & White Excellence

The CLI-42GY gray cartridge is part of Canon's advanced 8-color dye system used in the PIXMA PRO-100. This sophisticated color management system uses individual ink tanks for cyan, magenta, yellow, black, photo cyan, photo magenta, gray, and photo gray to deliver exceptional tonal accuracy and smooth transitions in black and white photography. The gray ink works alongside black and photo gray to provide neutral tones and expanded tonal range, eliminating color casts and delivering true monochrome prints.
