Canon Unveils New Flagship imagePROGRAF PRO-1100
Canon Europe announces
the release of the highly anticipated imagePROGRAF PRO-1100, a flagship A2
model from the desktop inkjet professional printer range. Designed specifically
for professional photographers and serious enthusiasts, the imagePROGRAF
PRO-1100 is engineered to deliver exceptional photo quality and
durability.
The printer sets new
standards in photo printing, featuring pigment ink LUCIA PRO II [1] newly
developed for the series. Offering unparalleled image quality with a wider
spectrum of colour compared to the existing imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 model, it
delivers prints with breathtaking depth and detail, capturing the subtlest
nuances in photography.
The printer’s
advanced ink technology ensures remarkable light fastness and scratch
resistance, allowing high-quality printed works to be appreciated and preserved
for decades to come, with light resistance up to 200 years [2] – perfect
for archival and documentary purposes. The 12-ink pigment system with its wider
colour gamut delivers smooth colour graduation and deeper blacks and blues,
revealing previously unseen detail and depth, particularly in landscapes,
seascapes and challenging shadow areas. This level of detail gives users, from
entry-level enthusiasts to those exhibiting their prints, the confidence that
the prints will be faithful to the original image.
For those who like a
matte finish with art papers, the inclusion of a matte black ink dramatically
enhances black density, achieving rich, deep blacks that bring images to life -
especially in black and white photography. For those who prefer a glossier
finish, the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 maintains exceptional quality on glossy and
semi-glossy papers, utilising the Chroma Optimiser for uniform glossiness and
refined expression. The reliable scratch resistance on both glossy and
semi-glossy prints makes them easy to handle during framing, packaging,
transportation and display. These advancements make the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100
one of Canon's most advanced and sophisticated printing solutions to date.
Whether printing
proofs or working in an educational environment such as a photography school or
university, the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 eliminates the need to outsource for
larger prints. Sharing the same print head, inks and software as larger models
(imagePROGRAF PRO-6600, PRO-4600, and PRO-2600), the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100
ensures complete consistency across different print sizes from 17" all the
way to 60" wide. This makes it the ideal choice for photographers who want
the flexibility of a smaller set-up for proofing, while retaining the ability
to easily scale up to larger formats at a professional lab. It also partners
perfectly with Canon's Professional Print & Layout software,
offering a seamless workflows so photographers can print with confidence.
The printer features
the iconic red line, signifying high performance and follows the release of the
flagship EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II cameras last month. From capture to print,
photographers can trust Canon to deliver exceptional tools for every step of
their creative journey.
