USA – Canon Europe has launched the highly anticipated imagePROGRAF PRO-1100, the flagship A2 model in its professional desktop inkjet printer range.

Designed for professional photographers and serious enthusiasts, the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 sets a new benchmark in photo printing, offering exceptional image quality and durability.

This cutting-edge printer introduces Canon’s newly developed LUCIA PRO II pigment ink, offering a wider colour spectrum than the previous imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 model.

The result is stunningly detailed prints with remarkable depth, capturing even the subtlest nuances in photography.

Advanced ink technology ensures outstanding lightfastness and scratch resistance, with prints lasting up to 200 years. This makes it ideal for archival and documentary purposes.

Featuring a 12-ink pigment system, the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 delivers a wider colour gamut, smooth colour gradations, and deeper blacks and blues – perfect for rendering landscapes, seascapes, and challenging shadow areas.

Photographers can trust that their prints will faithfully reproduce the original image with unmatched precision, whether for professional exhibitions or personal projects.

For those who prefer matte finishes, matte black ink enhances black density, delivering rich, deep blacks that bring black-and-white photography to life.

Canon’s Chroma Optimiser ensures uniform glossiness and refined details for glossy or semi-glossy finishes.

The prints’ scratch resistance makes them easy to handle during framing, packaging, and display, adding to the printer’s versatility and ease of use.

The imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 eliminates the need for outsourcing larger prints, making it an excellent choice for photographers working in educational environments like photography schools or universities.

The PRO-1100 shares the same print head, inks, and software as Canon’s larger models (imagePROGRAF PRO-6600, PRO-4600, and PRO-2600) and ensures consistent results across various print sizes, from 17″ to 60″ wide.

This flexibility allows photographers to use a smaller setup for proofing while easily scaling up to larger formats in professional labs.

Canon’s Professional Print & Layout software further enhances the workflow, giving photographers confidence in the consistency and quality of their prints.

The printer’s iconic red line, symbolizing high performance, aligns it with Canon’s recent camera releases, including the EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II.

From image capture to print, Canon provides photographers with a complete suite of tools for every stage of their creative journey.
