Black and White Printing

In Print Studio Pro, you can easily print black and white photos in high quality by selecting the Print Black and White Photo checkbox.

On Canon PRO series inkjet printers, you can perform black and white printing suitable for black and white photos. When the Print Black and White Photo checkbox is selected, a stable gray balance is achieved since more gray ink and black ink are used compared to color printing, and you can print black and white photos with rich gradation and little color shift.
