Canon PFI-300CO Chroma Optimiser Ink Cartridge

The Chroma Optimiser clear ink improves surface gloss uniformity, expands the colour gamut and deepens black tones. Applied over pigmented inks, it reduces diffuse reflection to reproduce more accurate colours and achieves a smoother finish on glossy and semi-gloss papers. When used correctly, the ink minimises bronzing and controls unevenness in gloss for more consistent prints. Yield: up to 272 photos on 4x6” photo paper or up to 97 photos on A3 paper.
