What ink does the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 use?
The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 uses Canon PFI-300 LUCIA PRO pigment ink cartridges, a professional-grade ink system engineered for superior colour accuracy, deep blacks, and archival print longevity. Each cartridge is individually replaceable, allowing precise colour control and reduced ink waste.
Why LUCIA PRO pigment ink is ideal for fine-art printing
LUCIA PRO pigment inks are designed to deliver exceptional lightfastness and colour stability. Compared to dye-based inks, pigment inks sit closer to the paper surface, producing sharper detail, richer blacks, and superior resistance to fading and environmental exposure.
This makes the PRO-300 particularly suitable for gallery prints, exhibition photography, client portfolios, and archival artwork.
Key advantages of genuine Canon PRO-300 ink cartridges
- Exceptional colour accuracy and tonal consistency
