OVERVIEW
Lucia PRO II Red for Next-Level Color
The Canon PFI-5100 Red Lucia PRO II Individual Ink Tank (6958C002) is a 130 mL, large-format pigment ink designed for Canon’s latest 12-color imagePROGRAF PRO printers. Lucia PRO II is Canon’s most advanced photo pigment ink set to date, engineered to deliver an expanded color gamut, improved surface uniformity, and outstanding longevity. The dedicated Red ink enhances saturation and nuance in warm tones, signage, product photography, landscapes at sunset, and any subject where vibrant reds and warm hues must print with fidelity.
Why Lucia PRO II Matters
Lucia PRO II builds on the celebrated Lucia PRO lineage with refinements that target color accuracy, durability, and media versatility. It offers excellent lightfastness for archival display, improved scratch resistance for handling and finishing, and superior gloss uniformity to reduce bronzing and metamerism—critical for gallery prints and commercial deliverables. Together, these advances help ensure what you see on screen is what you get on paper, across matte and glossy media.
Deeper, Cleaner Reds
The dedicated Red channel strengthens color gamut in the warm region, improving the reproduction of crimson textiles, product packaging, vivid sunsets, deep florals, and skin-adjacent warm highlights. If your workflows include fine art, advertising, brand-critical proofing, or high-impact photo prints, Lucia PRO II Red helps preserve subtle gradations while delivering punch when you need it.
Archival Quality and Reliability
Lucia PRO II pigment chemistry is optimized for longevity and consistent output. Prints exhibit excellent fade resistance under proper storage and display conditions, while the ink’s robust surface characteristics help reduce scuffing during finishing, mounting, and transport. Genuine Canon tanks also communicate precisely with your printer for accurate remaining-ink reporting, minimizing downtime and waste.
Designed for Canon imagePROGRAF PRO 12-Color Printers
The PFI-5100 format is the 130 mL capacity in the Lucia PRO II family, ideal for lower-to-moderate volume environments or color channels with lighter usage. It is compatible with Canon’s 12-color imagePROGRAF PRO-2600 (24-inch), PRO-4600 (44-inch), and PRO-6600 (60-inch) large-format printers. These systems leverage multi-channel pigment sets to deliver superb accuracy on photo and fine-art media, proofing stocks, and select specialty substrates.
Easy Swap, Minimal Waste
Each Canon tank is individually replaceable, so you only change the color you need when you need it. A built-in smart chip supports stable communication, reliable ink level tracking, and seamless integration with your printer’s maintenance routines. The 130 mL capacity balances cost efficiency with the flexibility to keep your full set fresh in lower-volume studios and print shops.
Ideal Applications
Use Lucia PRO II Red when color fidelity and warmth matter. It excels in: commercial product work with brand-critical reds; fine art landscapes with sunsets and autumn palettes; event and wedding imagery where subtle warm highlights are essential; and gallery prints that demand both saturation and smooth tonal transitions on glossy and matte media.
Genuine Canon = Consistent Results
Canon designs Lucia PRO II inks to work as a closed system with imagePROGRAF PRO printers, printheads, and media profiles. Genuine tanks help maintain color management integrity and printer health, supporting accurate profiling, predictable output, and reduced maintenance over time. For mission-critical color and dependable throughput, OEM ink is the standard.
