Canon PGI-480 PGBK Pigment Black Ink Cartridge (2077C001AA) — Professional-Grade Black for Sharp, Water-Resistant Documents

Dense, fade-resistant pigment black engineered for business documents, contracts, and professional correspondence — delivers crisp text and lasting permanence that pigment chemistry provides.

Pigment black is the professional standard for serious document printing. It’s fundamentally different from dye-based color inks — pigment particles sit atop the paper surface, creating sharper edges, deeper blacks, and superior water resistance that dye-based inks cannot match. The Canon PGI-480 PGBK Black ink cartridge, with a 15ml ink tank, allows you to print up to 300 pages of A4, making it ideal for offices and businesses where document quality and reliability are non-negotiable. For anyone who prints legal documents, contracts, invoices, or professional correspondence, this genuine Canon pigment black ink is the foundation of credible, authoritative output.

Pigment Black: The Science Behind Professional Text

Pigment-based black ink is a completely different chemistry than dye-based color inks. The pigment particles are larger, denser, and sit on top of the paper surface rather than absorbing into it. This creates crisp, sharp black text that ensures documents have peak performance specifically designed for Canon printers. The result is sharper edges, deeper blacks, and exceptional water resistance — perfect for documents that must survive handling, storage, and real-world conditions.

• Pigment-based formulation for razor-sharp text and professional appearance
• 15ml capacity — larger than standard dye-based black cartridges
• 300 page yield delivering sustained output for busy offices
• Water-resistant and smudge-resistant quality engineered for document durability
• Fade-resistant permanence ensuring documents stay sharp for years

Superior to Dye-Based Black: Why Pigment Matters

Pigment black and dye-based black are fundamentally different. Dye-based inks blend with color inks for color balance; pigment black is engineered exclusively for documents. The result: sharper text, deeper blacks, and water resistance that protects your documents from spills, moisture, and aging. This is why professional offices, legal firms, and document-heavy businesses choose pigment black for their serious printing.

Professional Output for Business Documents

Compatible with Canon PIXMA TS6140, TS8140, TS9140, TR7540, and TR8540 printers, the PGI-480 PGBK is engineered for the PIXMA TS/TR series — Canon’s professional document and photo printers. This pigment black pairs with CLI-481 color inks to create a complete professional printing system where every page matters.

Purpose-Built Capacity for High-Volume Printing

The 15ml capacity is significantly larger than standard dye-based black cartridges. This means fewer refill stops, more uninterrupted productivity, and better cost-per-page value for offices printing daily. When your printer is a business tool, this capacity matters — it keeps you printing when you need to.

Fade-Resistant Permanence for Legal and Archival Documents

Pigment black is formulated for longevity. This pigment-based ink will maintain overall print quality for up to 30 years when the print is mounted behind glass or up to 20 years in an open environment. That contract signed today will still be crisp and legible decades from now. That’s the permanence pigment chemistry provides — perfect for documents that need to last.

Engineered for Seamless Printer Integration

Using genuine Canon PGI-480 PGBK keeps your printer operating at peak performance. Pigment black and genuine Canon systems work in perfect harmony, protecting your print head and maintaining the professional output your business depends on.
