12-Color Pigment Ink System - New LUCIA inks
The iPF8100 printer's ink set is comprised of 12 colors: four standard process colors with Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta; plus Red, Green, and Blue; Matte Black, Gray, and Photo Gray. This unique combination creates a broad color pallet and delivers exceptional print results. The iPF8100 printer's LUCIA ink is specially formulated to reduce graininess and bronzing and resist scratching and fading. Black, Matte Black, Gray and Photo Gray optimize black ink density for exceptional monochrome photo-quality output. Based on the type of media being used, the iPF8100 printer automatically chooses the correct black ink to achieve the best print results.

Built-in Calibration
The iPF8100 printer is equipped with the ability to recalibrate itself to the original optimal factory settings and apply any necessary adjustments across all the printer's media types. This creates a stable, predictable printing platform on which superior results can be consistently achieved. The system has built-in calibration sensors that accurately detect variation in print heads and measures the density levels of the inks and makes necessary adjustments to return calibration to the original factory settings.
