The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO series encompasses a professional range of large format printers designed for fine art reproduction, photography, and commercial proofing. Available in various widths, from the 17-inch desktop model to expansive 60-inch machines, this series caters to diverse production environments. These machines utilise the advanced LUCIA PRO pigment ink system, which delivers a wide colour gamut, exceptional colour accuracy, and deep black density. Depending on the specific model, the ink configuration includes up to twelve colours, alongside a dedicated Chroma Optimizer that reduces bronzing and ensures a uniform finish on glossy media.
At the core of these printers is the L-COA PRO image processing engine, which rapidly manages massive high-resolution files to maintain consistent output speeds. The series features a robust mechanical platform that minimises vibration during operation, thereby ensuring precise ink droplet placement for sharp text and smooth gradients. Many models within the range incorporate an intelligent media handling system that automatically detects the loaded substrate type and calculates the remaining roll length. This automated process drastically reduces manual setup time and minimises material waste.
For high-volume commercial users, optional dual-roll units allow for seamless switching between different media types or serve as an automated take-up reel. Routine maintenance is simplified through active nozzle monitoring technology, which detects clogs and automatically compensates using backup nozzles to prevent banding. By integrating a Canon imagePROGRAF PRO series printer into their workflow, businesses can achieve gallery-standard prints on a wide array of flexible substrates, including canvas, photo paper, and fine art media.
