Black-and-white images are rendered with smooth, natural gradations, excellent tonal detail, and reduced graininess. Perfect for Fine Art Prints The PIXMA Pro9500 printer supports a wide range of output media, including fine art papers. Matte Black ink produces deep blacks with matte media. Photo Black ink is optimized for high-gloss surfaces. Photo and Matte Black inks are loaded at all times, and automatic switching between the two eliminates wasted ink, saves time, and takes the guesswork out of choosing the right black ink for the selected paper. 41
