Description
Genuine Fujifilm DX400W Yellow Ink Supply (250ml) — Part No. 16821028. Yellow is one of the four CMYK foundation channels in the Frontier DX400W's 6-ink system. It contributes to virtually every color the printer produces — from warm skin tones and golden highlights to foliage greens and neutral shadow balance. Using genuine Fujifilm Yellow ink ensures that color mixing stays accurate, ICC profiles hold true, and your printhead stays protected.
Why Yellow Ink Quality Matters More Than You Think
Yellow is the ink channel that most photographers underestimate — until it's wrong. Because yellow contributes to color mixing across a large portion of the visible spectrum, even slight hue deviations in this channel cascade into shifts across greens, oranges, skin tones, and neutrals. Third-party or off-spec yellow inks are a common cause of color casts that are frustratingly difficult to diagnose without swapping the ink.
Genuine Fujifilm Yellow ink (16821028) is formulated specifically to the DX400W's factory ICC profiles, so your color management works the way it was calibrated from day one — no guesswork, no profile adjustments, no surprises.
Key Benefits
- Accurate CMYK color foundation — Yellow interacts with Cyan and Magenta to produce greens, oranges, skin tones, and warm neutrals. Genuine ink keeps those relationships precise.
- Critical for skin tone accuracy — Portrait and event photographers depend on yellow channel accuracy for natural, consistent skin reproduction across print runs.
- Protects your printhead — Genuine Fujifilm ink maintains optimal viscosity and flow, reducing clog risk and expensive service calls on high-precision inkjet heads.
- High-capacity 250ml soft pouch — Less frequent replacements in busy lab environments; eco-friendly design uses approximately 49% less plastic than rigid cartridges.
- Drop-in installation — Recognized immediately by the DX400W's ink management system with no recalibration required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yellow is a primary subtractive color used in virtually all CMYK color mixing. It combines with Cyan to produce greens, with Magenta to produce oranges and reds, and with both to produce a wide range of neutrals and browns. An off-spec yellow shifts all of those mixed colors simultaneously, which is why hue accuracy in the yellow channel is so important.
Third-party inks are not formulated to Fujifilm's specifications for this printer. Using them can cause color inaccuracies that are difficult to correct through profiling alone, increase the risk of printhead clogs, and may void your service agreement. Genuine ink is the lower-risk, lower-cost option over the life of the printer.
The DX400W's ink management system monitors all six channels independently and displays a low-ink alert on the operator panel before any pouch runs empty, giving you advance notice to order a replacement without halting production.
No. Replacing a depleted genuine Fujifilm Yellow pouch with a new genuine pouch of the same part number (16821028) does not require ICC profile changes or printer recalibration. The ink is formulated to match the factory calibration exactly.
Yes. Part number 16821028 is the current genuine Fujifilm Yellow ink supply for the Frontier DX400W series in the 250ml pouch format.
