Canon 0545C002 Lucia PRO PFI-1000 Matte Black Ink

The Canon LUCIA PRO PFI-1000 Matte Black ink cartridge is engineered for photographers and fine art printmakers who require museum-grade output from their Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 printer. Built around Canon's LUCIA PRO pigment ink technology, this 80ml tank produces deep, rich blacks with smooth tonal transitions that are critical for monochrome and color work on matte and fine art media. The pigment-based formulation resists fading and environmental degradation, with Canon rating prints for up to 60 years of light fastness and up to 200 years of album storage life.

As part of Canon's 12-ink system, the matte black cartridge works alongside dedicated photo black, gray, and color inks to achieve a wide color gamut and exceptional shadow detail. The ink is specifically optimized for matte surfaces, so users printing on glossy or semi-glossy papers will rely on the separate photo black cartridge instead. Installation is straightforward with Canon's drop-in tank design, and the 80ml capacity balances cost with the demands of large-format printing on the PRO-1000's 17-inch-wide carriage.
