The importance of black ink

Black ink is a determining factor in the density and contrast of your images. Depending on the colouration properties of the black ink, an image can provide a dynamic three-dimensional feel or it can end up giving a flat impression. The ink’s dye colour tone is also extremely important to the overall image quality. Creating a perfect, colourless black with inks is extremely difficult. At the same time, black that does not take on any colour sharpens the photo and brings out its beauty.

Making black ink more neutral

Canon has been working on neutralising its black ink and has succeeded in bringing the tone closer to neutral, improving its visual blackness.
