Fujifilm DX400W Ink: All 6 Colors, Yield, Pouch System & Buying Guide
The complete genuine Fujifilm DX400W ink set — all six 250ml dye ink pouches for the Frontier DX400W dry lab photo printer. This set includes Cyan (16821004), Magenta (16821016), Yellow (16821028), Black (16820995), Sky Blue (16821030), and Pink (16821042) — the full 6-color system the DX400W requires for professional-grade color output. Every pouch is OEM Fujifilm, factory sealed, and sold by an authorized dealer.
What Makes the DX400W a 6-Color System
Most professional inkjet dry labs operate on a standard 4-color CMYK system. The Fujifilm Frontier DX400W goes further by adding two proprietary extended-gamut channels — Pink and Sky Blue — that address the specific limitations of CMYK in professional photo printing.
Pink handles the light warm-tone range — soft highlight skin tones, pastel complexions, and delicate floral gradients — where Magenta at low density would become grainy and slightly off-hue. Sky Blue handles the light cool-tone range — pale skies, soft water highlights, and clean backgrounds — where Cyan at low density would introduce grain or an unwanted green cast. Together, these two channels give the DX400W a wider and more accurate gamut than any standard CMYK system, with smoother gradients and more natural skin tones that rival traditional silver halide output.
What Each Ink Channel Does
| Channel | Primary Role | Where It Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Cyan | Saturated blues, greens, cool neutrals | Deep skies, ocean water, foliage, shadow tones |
| Magenta | Saturated warm tones, reds, purples | Bold reds, deep pinks, shadow skin tones, florals |
| Yellow | Color mixing across the full spectrum | Greens, oranges, warm neutrals, skin tone balance |
| Black | Shadow depth, contrast, fine detail | Every print — anchors tone curve and shadow separation |
| Sky Blue ✦ | Light cool-tone range (extended gamut) | Pale skies, water highlights, soft backgrounds |
| Pink ✦ | Light warm-tone range (extended gamut) | Highlight skin tones, pastel complexions, delicate florals |

Frequently Asked Questions
The set includes all six genuine Fujifilm DX400W ink channels: Cyan (16821004), Magenta (16821016), Yellow (16821028), Black (16820995), Sky Blue (16821030), and Pink (16821042) — each a 250ml soft-pouch supply unit.
The DX400W adds Pink and Sky Blue as extended-gamut channels beyond the standard CMYK set. Pink handles light warm tones — soft skin highlights and pastels — where Magenta at low density would appear grainy or off-hue. Sky Blue handles light cool tones — pale skies and water highlights — where Cyan at low density would introduce grain or a green cast. Together they produce smoother gradients and more accurate skin tones than any 4-color system can match.
Third-party inks are not formulated to Fujifilm's specifications for the DX400W and can cause color inaccuracies, gray casts in neutral tones, skin tone shifts, and printhead clogs. Genuine Fujifilm ink is the only ink formulated to work with the printer's factory ICC profiles and calibration — and is the lower-risk, lower-cost option over the life of the machine.
Yes. The Frontier DX400W requires all six ink channels to be installed and functional for normal printing operation. The printer will alert you when any individual channel is low or empty and will typically halt printing before a channel runs out completely to protect the printhead.
Pink and Magenta typically deplete fastest in portrait, wedding, and photo booth environments because nearly every print contains skin tones that span both channels. Sky Blue depletes quickly in outdoor and landscape-heavy workflows. Yellow tracks closely with Magenta in warm-tone-heavy work. Black and Cyan are generally the steadiest channels in most portrait environments.
No. These ink supply units are engineered specifically for the Fujifilm Frontier DX400W. They are not compatible with the DX100, DE100, or other Fujifilm dry lab models, which use different ink formulations and pouch systems.
