Singular Recommends
For who: Professional photographers and fine art printers using the Canon PIXMA PRO-1 who need to replace their photo black tank and demand accurate, gallery-quality black tones in their prints.
The real reason to buy it: Photo black ink (PBK) is not the same as standard matte black (MBK). The PGI-29PBK is formulated specifically for glossy and semi-gloss photo papers, producing the rich, deep blacks and smooth shadow gradations that make professional portrait and landscape prints stand out.
Know before you buy: The PGI-29PBK is exclusive to the PIXMA PRO-1. Do not confuse with the Matte Black (PGI-29MBK / 4868B001) which is used for matte papers. The PRO-1 uses 12 separate tanks — buy only the colour you need.
