Sharp lines and fonts with genuine LUCIA TD inks

LUCIA TD ink includes two types of black inks with different surface tension. Matte Black (MBK) ink with high surface tension enables minimal spreading of ink droplets, and pigment remains near the surface. This is suitable for producing crisp lines and dense text with minimal feathering.

Lines and texts with clear boundaries

When it comes to the edge between black and colours, LUCIA TD with 2 types of black ink, places black ink (BK) with lower surface tension between colour ink (low tension) and MBK ink (high tension) to reduce bleeding. So lines & texts with clear boundaries can be produced.

The unauthenticated formulation of non-Canon ink is not tailored to Canon's imagePROGRAF printing systems and often contains not the same composition. Some ingredients and substitutes not being authorized by Canon possibly lead to less-sharp text, lines, and graphics reproduction, making prints imprecise and fuzzy overall.

With the Canon LUCIA pigment inks, a product with highest promising quality with consistency, the microfine ink droplets are placed precisely on the media by the print head, immediately bond with the surface - nothing runs or smears!

Supreme print quality with the finest nuances

This unique ink formula of the LUCIA PRO inks with microencapsulated pigments allows increment in pigment density, enhancing rich colour expression and image clarity.

Chroma Optimizer (CO) which is used when printing on glossy / semi-gloss paper, optimally controls the light that determines the colour appearance in order to faithfully express the original colours, especially for blacks without blurring.

The guarantee for document-proof prints: imagePROGRAF, LUCIA genuine inks and print media from Canon

With the interaction of the imagePROGRAF large format printing systems, the original pigment inks and the appropriate printing media from Canon guarantees that a document will not age easily or become unusable even after many years and is therefore document-proof. And every user who uses genuine Canon inks and media benefits from this experience. The independent tests prove that the genuine materials are compatible with each other and guarantee a perfect print result - even if you don't necessarily have to or want to print in a document-proof way. There is not such a guarantee on the quality of the prints when you use non-Canon ink.

Excellence until last drop

Canon’s imagePROGRAF printers are designed to use every last drop of ink. So when it’s time to replace the tank, you can be absolutely sure that no ink remains inside, you are not paying for ink which won’t ever get used, most importantly, this is also environmental friendly.

The printing system enables insertion of the ink tanks in completely and fill up the sub-ink tanks. Thanks to its "hot-swap" technology, it allows ease changing the ink tanks during operation. This user-friendly feature is particularly efficient and unique in the market.

Why take risks?
...... choose genuine ink to secure the quality

• Non-Canon ink with unauthorized ingredients might not only lead to unsatisfying printer results, but also can possibly damage the print head and clog the nozzles, which shortens the consumables’ life span
• Using Canon genuine inks ensures consumables can be used under a normal life span
• While printing with Canon genuine inks, the finest lines are pin-sharp on paper, images are always having professional quality, bright colours with consistency secured. Document authenticity for archiving your prints is guaranteed. However, it might be difficult to achieve this if you use non-Canon ink.

When it comes to reliability and colour security, you can count 100% on genuine Canon inks. Our imagePROGRAF GP printers are PANTONE certified and prints with LUCIA pigment inks show precise colour representation with minimal variations.

Recognize the Original

Choose genuine Canon inks to ensure you‘re on the safe side. Always purchase the ink from reliable suppliers and look for the unique colour-changing hologram featured on every genuine ink pack. It appears iridescent gold when viewed from the front, and dark green when tilted horizontally

A generally poor quality of the packaging also suggests a counterfeit, because with genuine Canon ink packs, packaging as well as product itself is with the highest quality.

Look closely at the unique colour-changing hologram.

Does the colour change at different viewing angles as describe? If not, it's not original and might not reflect the quality you would expect from Canon.
