CANON 1LB PGI-72 PBK ink cartridge photo black standard capacity 510 photos 1-pack content_copy

The Canon PGI-72PBK Photo Black ink is an original consumable for inkjet printers, specifically developed for use in the Canon PIXMA PRO-10. It is a dye-based ink classified in the photo black colour class and designed for professional printing applications with high quality requirements. The ink is supplied in standard yield and enables up to 510 printed pages in 10x15 cm format, measured according to the ISO/IEC 24734 standard. This figure refers to print performance under standardised test conditions and serves as a reference value for consumption.

Applications

The ink is primarily intended for use in professional printing environments, particularly for producing photo prints with high colour accuracy and detail precision. Its use in the Canon PIXMA PRO-10 enables the creation of high-quality images suitable for presentations, galleries, or archival purposes. The ink is part of the LUCIA ink system, known for intense, rich colours and a wide colour gamut. The pigment-based formulation ensures high colour stability and longevity of prints, which is especially important for long-term storage or exhibition.

Functions and Features in Detail

The ink features an ink tank with a capacity of 14 ml, enabling a print performance of up to 510 photos in 10x15 cm format or 44 photos in A3+ format. This figure refers to the ISO/IEC 29102 standard, used for evaluating ink cartridge print performance. The ink is classified as original by Canon, ensuring compatibility with the printer and reliable print quality. Packaging is done in a transparent package that protects the contents from external influences.

Technology Explained Simply

The ink is based on dye ink, which differs chemically from pigment inks. Dye inks are often suitable for smooth colour distribution and high printing speed. Its use in the Canon PIXMA PRO-10, which features FINE technology (Full Photolithographic Inkjet Nozzle Engineering), enables precise ink deposition with high resolution. The FINE technology ensures even droplet distribution, resulting in sharp contours and fine details. The ink is designed for operation at ambient temperatures of 15 to 35 °C and relative humidity of 5 to 95 %. The same conditions apply to storage, with the temperature range recommended to be between 10 and 35 °C.

Compatibility and Accessories

The ink is exclusively intended for the Canon PIXMA PRO-10. The use of original inks is required for optimal printer function and to achieve the specified print performance. The ink is part of an individual ink system, where only the consumed colour needs to be replaced, minimising consumption.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by inserting the ink into the corresponding slot in the printer. The exact procedure is described in the printer’s user manual. The ink is intended for use in the printer and requires no additional tools or preparations.

Advantages in Operation

Using the original ink ensures consistent print quality and minimises the risk of printing errors or nozzle clogging. The high colour stability of the ink ensures that prints retain their quality over a long period. The standard yield capacity provides a balanced amount for professional users who regularly produce prints, without needing to refill frequently. The ink is manufactured in Japan, indicating the manufacturing quality Canon maintains for its original products.
