The objective in developing the Ultra Chrome pigment ink was to combine the long-term & short-term colour stability properties of pigment inks with the colour scale of dye inks. This new colour ink system 
 Includes:: light black as a seventh colour,  which makes it possible to achieve softer gradations in the case of black&white printing,  as well as two types of black ink,  matt & photo,  ensuring that optimal quality can be achieved on all media types.
