Consistently achieve superior results
Canon understands that reliable, accurate
color reproduction is a top priority for photo-
graphic and graphic arts professionals. With
groundbreaking technology built into the
iPF5100 printer, professionals can now
unleash their full creative potential and
achieve spectacular results.
LUCIA INK IN A SPECTRUM OF 12 COLORS
Superior performance begins with the
iPF5100 printer’s 12-color ink set with
LUCIA pigment inks. This printer’s broad
color pallet includes Red, Blue, Green, Cyan,
Photo Cyan, Magenta, Photo Magenta, and
Yellow plus four monochromatic shades:
Black, Matte Black, Gray, and Photo Gray.
Canon’s durable LUCIA pigment inks are
chemically formulated to improve print
quality on a wide range of media.
• Engineered for longevity:
LUCIA inks are
recommended for photo, fine art printing,
and proofing applications.
• Reduced graininess:
Ink coverage and
density are optimized to minimize the
beading that can cause images to appear
grainy. The unique composition of the
iPF5100 printer’s ink reduces graininess—
even on glossy media.
• Minimizes bronzing:
Each pigment particle
is coated with a resin, which helps the ink
to lay down smoother on the media’s surface
so light reflects off the print more evenly
and bronzing is reduced.
• Improved scratch resistance:
The
resin coating also helps the ink to form
a stronger bond with the media. This helps
LUCIA inks to affix to the media, making
them less likely to peel, scratch, or crack—
an important advantage, especially when
producing display-quality prints.
BUILT-IN CALIBRATION MEANS YOU GET
THE COLORS YOU EXPECT
When it comes to producing color-accurate
reprints or managing output across multiple
printers, the iPF5100 printer’s built-in
calibration function helps to ensure that
you’ll get the results you expect.
Unlike the complex and time-consuming
color calibration normally required in
professional settings, the iPF5100 printer
will reset itself back to the original, optimal
factory settings for the printer’s media
types—in just minutes. This easy-to-use
feature helps compensate for adverse
environmental conditions while providing
a stable platform for color management
with consistent color reproduction.
KYUANOS: NEXT-GENERATION COLOR

cision color management system delivers
output color suitable for different viewing
conditions, such as fluorescent lights,
incandescent lights, or sunlight. Kyuanos
incorporates the advanced Ambient Light

which optimizes output for differences
in lighting conditions for consistent color
in accordance with different lighting
environments.
