A New Benchmark in Photo Printing
Canon Europe has recently introduced the latest addition to their professional printer range, the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100. What makes it stand out? The printer, designed with photographers and serious enthusiasts in mind, guarantees unparalleled photo quality and durability.
Unrivalled Quality with LUCIA PRO II
At the heart of the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 is the newly developed pigment ink LUCIA PRO II. This remarkable ink technology ensures your prints have excellent light fastness and scratch resistance. This means your high-quality prints can be admired and preserved for up to 200 years – a perfect solution for archival and documentary purposes.
Stunning Depth and Detail
The imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 offers a wider spectrum of colour, allowing it to deliver prints with breathtaking depth and detail. 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. This new 12-ink pigment system reveals previously unseen detail and depth, especially in landscapes, seascapes and challenging shadow areas.
Matte or Glossy? Your Choice.
Whether you prefer a matte finish with art papers or a glossier finish, the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 has you covered. The inclusion of a matte black ink dramatically enhances black density, achieving deep, rich blacks, especially in black and white photography. For glossy and semi-glossy prints, the Chroma Optimiser ensures uniform glossiness and refined expression.
Consistency Across Different Print Sizes
Sharing the same print head, inks and software as larger models in the range, the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 ensures complete consistency across different print sizes – from 17″ all the way to 60″ wide. This makes it an 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.
Final Thoughts
The imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 is indeed a breath of fresh air in the world of professional photo printing. With its exceptional photo quality and durability, this printer sets a new standard in the industry. It is a testament to Canon’s commitment to providing tools that cater to every step of the creative journey of photographers.
