Fujifilm DX400 Ink Supply 250 mL — Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Sky Blue, Pink

The Fujifilm Frontier DX400W uses genuine Fujifilm DX400 ink in a 6-color dye-based system: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Sky Blue, and Pink. Each color comes in a 250 mL soft pouch pack. All six channels are required for full-gamut output — the printer will not operate with any channel missing. Ink is not included with the printer and must be purchased separately. Buffalo Imaging stocks all six colors for same-day shipping.

Fujifilm DX400 ink is $79.00 per 250 mL pack at Buffalo Imaging. All six colors are priced the same — Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Sky Blue, and Pink are each $79.00. A full set of all six colors costs $474.00. Budget for a complete 6-color set as part of your initial DX400W setup. Orders over $149 ship free, and orders placed before 2 PM PST ship the same business day.

Sky Blue and Cyan are two separate channels in the DX400W’s 6-color ink system and they handle different parts of the blue spectrum. Cyan handles saturated blues, teals, and blue-green mixed colors at full density. Sky Blue handles the light-toned blue spectrum — sky gradients, water reflections, and soft blue backgrounds — where printing Cyan at reduced density would introduce grain or hue shifts. Sky Blue eliminates that grain by using a lighter, more delicate formulation specifically for those tonal zones. Both channels must be installed for the printer to operate.

Pink and Magenta both handle warm tones but at different ends of the spectrum. Magenta covers the saturated end — bold reds, deep pinks, rich purples, and darker shadow-side skin tones. Pink covers the lighter, softer end — pastel complexions, highlight skin tones, and delicate warm gradients. Together they give the DX400W a wider and more accurate warm-tone gamut than a standard CMYK system can achieve. This separation is especially important for portrait and event photography where skin tone accuracy in lighter complexions is critical.

No. The Fujifilm Frontier DX400W is calibrated at the factory to specific ink density, hue, and viscosity values for each of its six channels. Third-party inks are not formulated to Fujifilm’s specifications for this printer. Even small hue or density deviations — especially in the Magenta, Pink, and Sky Blue channels — produce visible skin tone shifts and color casts in portrait and event output. Using non-genuine ink also voids Fujifilm warranty coverage. Only genuine Fujifilm DX400 ink packs are compatible.

Fujifilm does not publish a fixed print yield per ink pack for the DX400W because yield depends on image content, color coverage, print size, and the balance of ink usage across all six channels. In typical event and portrait photo printing, all six channels deplete at different rates — Pink and Sky Blue tend to deplete faster on skin-heavy and outdoor content respectively. For production planning, monitor the LCD consumables panel on the DX400W and keep at least one

The Fujifilm DX400 ink uses a soft-pouch supply unit instead of the hard plastic cartridge used in the previous DX100 model. The pouch format reduces plastic waste by approximately 49% compared to DX100 cartridges. Each pouch also holds 250 mL versus the DX100’s 200 mL capacity — a 25% increase in ink volume per unit. Installation is front-access on the DX400W: the ink supply tray pulls out from the front of the printer for fast replacement without repositioning the unit.

Fujifilm DX400 ink is formulated to work with FUJIFILM Quality Dry Photo Paper in Glossy and Luster finishes. Compatible roll widths are 3.5 in, 4 in, 5 in, 6 in, 8 in, and 8.3 in in 65-meter rolls. Using third-party paper may affect print quality and color accuracy, and is not covered under Fujifilm warranty. Buffalo Imaging stocks DX400W-compatible Fujifilm paper rolls for same-day shipping.

Yes. The Fujifilm Frontier DX400W requires all six ink channels — Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Sky Blue, and Pink — to be installed and functional for the printer to operate. The printer will not print if any channel is empty or missing. Because all six channels are used across every print job (even if some contribute more than others depending on image content), you should have at least one spare pack of each color available before starting a production run.

The Fujifilm Frontier DX400W has an LCD control panel on the front of the unit that displays remaining ink levels for all six channels at a glance. The printer will alert you when any channel reaches a low level and will stop printing before a channel is fully depleted to prevent printhead damage. For production environments, replace ink as soon as the low-level alert triggers — do not wait for the channel to run out during a job. Pink and Sky Blue tend to deplete faster in portrait and event workflows and should be monitored more closely.
