Professional photo printing ink
The Canon PFI-300 Chroma Optimizer is a 14.4 ml dye-based ink tank built for the imagePROGRAF PRO-300 printer. It works with the LUCIA PRO pigment set to reduce metamerism and create a smooth ink layer on coated papers. This genuine cartridge targets photographers and studios that require accurate colour reproduction and deep black density.
Sustained output behaviour
During extended print runs the Chroma Optimizer maintains consistent droplet placement so that gloss uniformity and colour fidelity do not drift. The formulation minimises height differences between ink layers, giving even light reflection across the page. Users who need reliable results over many consecutive prints will see stable performance without banding or gloss variation.
Interface practical limits
The tank fits only the imagePROGRAF PRO-300, so it cannot be used in other Canon or third-party printers. Each cartridge holds 14.4 ml, which defines the total volume available before replacement. Buyers who need larger ink capacity or a different printer model must choose another product.

Questions about this item
Does the Chroma Optimizer cartridge add noticeable heat or power draw when the PRO-300 runs all day?
The 14.4 ml Chroma Optimizer is a passive ink tank; it has no electronics or moving parts, so it contributes no extra heat or power consumption during extended printing.
What must I already own for this cartridge to work?
You need a Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 printer and the standard LUCIA PRO pigment ink set; the Chroma Optimizer installs in its dedicated slot alongside those tanks.
Will the PFI-300 Chroma Optimizer function correctly if I keep using older Canon photo papers?
The optimizer is formulated for coated media and works with any paper the PRO-300 supports; it reduces metamerism and improves black density on both current and legacy Canon photo papers.
