Canon Introduces imagePROGRAF PRO-1100: Premium A2 Desktop Printer Offering Exceptional Quality

Available in September 2024, this latest model represents a significant advancement in Canon's legacy of innovation within the imaging sector, establishing a new benchmark for professional photo printing.

This printer sets a new benchmark in photo printing, incorporating the newly developed LUCIA PRO II pigment ink, which enhances the series. It offers exceptional image quality with a broader color spectrum compared to the previous imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 model, producing prints that exhibit stunning depth and detail, capturing even the most subtle nuances in photography.

The advanced ink technology of this printer guarantees impressive light fastness and scratch resistance, ensuring that high-quality prints can be cherished and preserved for many years, with light resistance lasting up to 200 years—ideal for archival and documentary needs. The 12-ink pigment system, with its expanded color gamut, provides smooth color transitions and richer blacks and blues, unveiling previously hidden details and depth, especially in landscapes, seascapes, and intricate shadow areas. This level of detail instills confidence in users, from novice enthusiasts to those showcasing their prints, that the final output will remain true to the original image.

For enthusiasts of matte finishes on art papers, the addition of matte black ink significantly boosts black density, resulting in rich, profound blacks that vividly enhance images, particularly in black and white photography. 

Conversely, for those who favor a glossy finish, the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 delivers outstanding quality on glossy and semi-glossy papers, employing the Chroma Optimiser to ensure consistent glossiness and enhanced detail. The robust scratch resistance of both glossy and semi-glossy prints facilitates easy handling during framing, packaging, transportation, and display. These innovations position the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 as one of Canon's most advanced and sophisticated printing solutions available.

Whether producing proofs or operating within an educational setting like a photography school or university, the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 removes the necessity to outsource larger prints. Sharing the same print head, inks, and software as its larger counterparts (imagePROGRAF PRO-6600, PRO-4600, and PRO-2600), the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 guarantees uniformity across various print sizes, ranging from 17" to 60" wide.

This makes it an ideal option for photographers seeking the convenience of a compact setup for proofing while maintaining the capability to scale up to larger formats in a professional lab. Additionally, it integrates seamlessly with Canon's Professional Print & Layout software, providing a smooth workflow that allows photographers to print with assurance.

The printer showcases the distinctive red line, a symbol of superior performance, and follows the recent launch of the flagship EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II cameras last month. Photographers can rely on Canon to provide outstanding tools for every phase of their creative process, from capture to print.

Set to be available in September 2024, this new model represents a significant advancement in Canon's legacy of innovation within the imaging sector, establishing a new benchmark for professional photo printing. Accredited photographers attending Visa pour l’Image in Perpignan, France, are invited to visit the Canon experience center at the festival's headquarters to have an image from their portfolio printed on the new imagePROGRAF PRO-1100.
