Epson UltraChrome PRO6 ink cartridge 1 pc(s) Original Standard Yield Photo black

The Epson Singlepack UltraChrome Pro 6 T48M1 Photo Black ink cartridge is a 700 ml original pigment cartridge engineered for high-quality photographic and fine art printing. Part of the UltraChrome Pro6 family, this Photo Black formulation provides deep, neutral blacks and improved tonal gradation thanks to an aqueous all-pigment construction with an additional gray channel. The cartridge is designed for professional workflows where colour predictability, print longevity and resistance to handling are required. Prints dry quickly and display reduced sensitivity to scratching and moisture, making the cartridge suitable for both glossy and matte media when used as part of the full UltraChrome Pro6 ink set.

Advantages

Prints produced with this ink exhibit high durability against fading, scratching and moisture, and they exit the printer with minimal drying time, reducing set-up delays. Compatibility with a wide range of media types is supported through the availability of both photo and matte black inks in the same family.
