The DX400W replaced the rigid DX100 cartridge format with a higher-capacity cartridge-free ink-pack system. One important correction: the DX100 was also a six-color printer. It used Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Pink and Sky Blue just like the DX400W.
| Feature | Frontier-S DX100 | Frontier DX400W |
|---|---|---|
| Ink Colors | 6 | 6 |
| Colors | C, M, Y, K, Pink, Sky Blue | C, M, Y, K, Pink, Sky Blue |
| Capacity | 200 mL per color | 250 mL per color |
| Ink Type | VIVIDIA dye-based ink | Dye-based ink |
| Supply Format | Rigid cartridge | Cartridge-free ink pack / supply unit |
| Total Ink Across 6 Colors | 1,200 mL | 1,500 mL |
| Interchangeable? | No. Each printer requires its own supplies. | |
FUJIFILM states that the DX400W's 250 mL ink system increases capacity by approximately 25% compared with the DX100 and that the newer cartridge-free ink-pack design reduces ink-package waste by approximately 49%.

Why Does the DX400W Use Six Colors?
The DX400W uses the four familiar CMYK channels — Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black — plus two additional colors: Pink and Sky Blue.
According to FUJIFILM, its six-color DX400W ink system helps reproduce skin textures and subtle color changes more faithfully. The additional Pink and Sky Blue channels are part of the complete imaging system rather than replacements for Magenta or Cyan.
Pink Is Not Magenta
Pink and Magenta are separate ink channels. The DX400W requires both colors as part of its six-color system.
Sky Blue Is Not Cyan
Sky Blue and Cyan are also separate ink channels. If the printer requests Sky Blue, a Cyan supply cannot be substituted.
How Many Prints Does One DX400W Ink Supply Produce?
FUJIFILM's published DX400W specifications give the ink capacity — 250 mL per color — rather than one universal “prints per pouch” number.
That makes sense because ink consumption varies with the job. Factors include:
- image content and overall density,
- print dimensions,
- the color balance of each photograph,
- print mode and workflow settings, and
- maintenance and cleaning activity.
A portrait, a high-key studio photograph and a dark landscape can use very different quantities of individual colors. For inventory planning, the most reliable fixed specification is therefore the actual 250 mL capacity of each supply.
Individual Colors or a Complete Ink Set?
Buy Individual Colors When
- Only one or two colors need replacement.
- Your print mix consumes colors at different rates.
- You already maintain backup stock of the other supplies.
Buy the Complete Set When
- You are preparing a new DX400W installation.
- You want one spare of every color on hand.
- Several colors are approaching replacement.
- Avoiding production downtime is important to your business.
Why Use Genuine FUJIFILM DX400W Ink?
The DX400W is a professional photo printing system in which printer hardware, ink, paper and FUJIFILM image-processing technology are designed to work together.
Using the correct genuine FUJIFILM supply gives you a product specifically manufactured and identified for the DX400W. The part numbers listed above make it easier to verify exactly what you are ordering.
For professional photo labs, studios, event businesses and retail photo operations, correct compatibility and predictable supply sourcing are especially important.
Replacing DX400W Ink
FUJIFILM designed the DX400W so routine maintenance and consumable replacement are centralized at the front of the printer. To replace an ink supply, access the appropriate ink unit from the front, remove the depleted supply, and install the correct replacement color according to the printer prompts and FUJIFILM instructions.
Storage and Inventory Tips
- Keep unused ink sealed in its original packaging until needed.
- Follow the environmental and storage instructions printed by FUJIFILM.
- Keep supplies protected from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
- Rotate older inventory forward when receiving new stock.
- For production environments, consider keeping at least one replacement of each color available.

No. Pink and Magenta are also separate ink channels. The DX400W requires both.
How many prints does one DX400W ink supply make?
