Canon PGI-72 CO Chroma Optimiser Ink Tank

The Canon PGI-72 CO Chroma Optimiser Ink Tank is a specialized ink cartridge designed to be used with certain Canon PIXMA PRO and Canon imagePROGRAF series printers. The Chroma Optimiser is a unique ink designed to enhance print quality by optimizing the surface of glossy photo paper, ensuring that prints have a rich, vibrant finish without unwanted gloss differential. This ink tank is specifically designed to complement other inks, such as the PGI-72 color inks (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, etc.), allowing for better control over the color and surface finish of the printed images.

Key Features:

1. Chroma Optimiser Ink:
   • The Chroma Optimiser is a clear ink used to improve the glossiness and smoothness of prints when used on glossy photo papers.
   • It enhances color depth and produces prints with consistent gloss levels, preventing gloss differential (where areas of the print have uneven glossiness) on glossy or semi-glossy photo paper.
2. Professional-Grade Printing:
   • Designed for high-end photo printing, it ensures that prints have a professional, museum-quality finish. The result is sharper, more detailed, and more vibrant photos.
   • The Chroma Optimiser provides additional depth and clarity to prints, particularly in dark areas or areas with fine details.
3. Ink Compatibility:
   • This ink tank is specifically compatible with Canon PIXMA PRO-100, PIXMA PRO-10, PIXMA PRO-1, and Canon imagePROGRAF series printers.
   • It works in conjunction with other Canon inks, such as PGI-72 color cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, etc.), to achieve excellent photo print quality.
4. Printing on Glossy and Semi-Glossy Papers:
   • The Chroma Optimiser ink is especially effective for prints made on glossy and semi-glossy photo papers. When used with these types of media, it helps avoid the problem of uneven gloss, which can occur when the inks are not properly optimized for the paper surface.
   • This makes it ideal for photo albums, fine art prints, and gallery-quality prints.
