It features a new 10-color UltraChrome Pro10 ink set in high-capacity 200 mL cartridges. Moreover, the set includes violet ink to enable the printer to deliver an extended range of blue hues and a wider color gamut than UltraChrome HD ink. It also has dedicated channels for photo and matte black inks. As a result, there’s no need to for ink switching. This will help to save time and reduce ink waste. Further, specs say the printer’s built-in carbon black mode increases Dmax, allowing for rich blacks and better contrast on glossy paper.

The cassette accommodates 100 cut sheets from 8.5×11 inches to 17×22 inches.
