Description
Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 A2 12 Colour Photo Printer:
ENHANCE YOUR ART PRINTS WITH EPSON'S PROFESSIONAL A2 PRINTER, FEATURING ADVANCED COLOUR ACCURACY & SUPERIOR DURABILITY FOR GALLERY-QUALITY RESULTS THAT STAND THE TEST OF TIME!
Canon has unveiled the ImagePrograf Pro-1100. The successor to the nearly decade-old ImagePrograf Pro-1000, designed for studios, professional photographers and businesses.
Although it retains the same physical dimensions (723 x 435 x 285mm) and weight (32.4kg) as its predecessor, the Pro-1100 is packed with cutting-edge technology, including 5G WiFi.
The Pro-1100 prints up to A2+ or 17" in size, but thanks to its new paper roll capability, it can now produce prints more than twice as wide as the Pro-1000. While the previous model could handle panoramas up to 1.2m, the Pro-1100 extends that to an impressive 3.27m.
The ImagePrograf Pro-1100 is built for high-output performance, utilising an extensive 11-ink system along with Chroma Optimiser. This is applied over the printed image to smooth out the unevenness between ink droplets, enhancing glossiness, creating a flatter surface, and expanding the colour gamut for richer, more vibrant prints.
Achieve deeper blacks, richer blues, and smooth colour gradation, thanks to the new 12-colour LUCIA PRO II inks with Chroma Optimiser for smooth reflections and anti-bronzing.
Like its predecessor, the Pro-1100 uses 11 inks, each with a substantial 80ml capacity, now updated to the new PFI-41000 series.
While dye inks offer speed, vibrant colours, and high saturation their longevity is limited, with colours potentially fading within seven years. The Pro-1100, however, uses pigment-based inks, which excel in contrast, black-and-white prints, and durability. Canon claims these prints can last up to 200 years (or 180 years on fine art paper), a significant improvement over the typical 60-year lifespan.
The new Lucia Pro II inks further enhance dark tones and black density on art paper by densely packing coloring materials, resulting in richer colors and smoother gradations in shadow areas.
The latest ink formulation includes a wax component, enhancing scratch resistance on glossy paper. This improvement helps reduce waste and minimises the need for reprints, which can be time-consuming. Canon designates the Pro-1100 as a medium-capacity printer, surpassed only by models with larger MegaTanks.
For convenience, you can use Canon’s Auto Replenishment Service to automatically order new ink when levels are low. The default threshold is set at 10%, but you can adjust this for each colour, which is useful if your print jobs favor certain inks over others.
Create, showcase, and sell professional-grade photographs with confidence, knowing they are built to last. The Pro-1100 allows you to produce prints that boast an impressive resistance to light damage, with a longevity of up to 200 years. This ensures that your work remains vibrant and intact for generations.
In addition to their exceptional lightfastness, these prints are designed with industry-leading durability, offering superior resistance to abrasion during shipping and handling. Whether you're delivering a print to a client or preparing it for an exhibition, you can rely on this robust image quality to withstand the rigors of transit and display, all while maintaining the highest standards of clarity, detail, and color accuracy. No compromises are made on quality, ensuring your work is preserved and presented exactly as intended.
With intuitive on-screen prompts that guide you through the entire process setting up the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 is both quick and easy. Whether you’re connecting via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, this printer allows for seamless integration of multiple devices, ensuring that everyone in your studio or office can easily access its professional-grade printing capabilities. For those looking to streamline their workflow,
Canon’s Professional Print & Layout software offers a powerful tool to manage and optimise your print jobs. This software is designed with versatility in mind, providing comprehensive features to ensure your prints meet the highest standards. Additionally, for users working within the Adobe ecosystem, the Professional Print & Layout software is available as a plug-in, allowing you to maintain your existing workflow without interruption. This integration makes it easy to move from digital creation to physical print, ensuring consistent, high-quality results every time.
This A2 printer offers exceptional versatility, accommodating a broad spectrum of paper stocks and sizes to meet various printing needs. It supports standard paper sizes up to A2, and for those larger, panoramic projects, it can handle print lengths of up to 3.27 meters. This capability makes it ideal for creating expansive, high-impact prints that make a statement.
Whether you're looking for the superior texture and quality of Canon’s fine-art and photo papers or prefer to use third-party media, this printer provides the flexibility to match your specific requirements. Canon’s selection of high-quality papers is tailored to deliver outstanding results for professional photographers and artists, while the ability to use alternative media ensures that you have the freedom to explore different finishes and styles. This adaptability ensures that you can achieve the perfect print every time, regardless of the paper type or size you choose.
The imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 is crafted with a commitment to sustainability, produced using renewable energy sources to reduce its environmental impact. Each unit is packaged without the use of expanded polystyrene, aligning with eco-friendly practices to minimize waste. Additionally, the printer features power scheduling options that help you reduce energy consumption by allowing you to set specific times for the printer to operate, further decreasing unnecessary energy use.
To further support environmental responsibility, Canon offers a complimentary cartridge recycling program. You can easily send your empty ink cartridges back to Canon for recycling, helping to reduce landfill waste and support a circular economy. This program is designed to make it simple for you to contribute to environmental conservation while maintaining the high performance and quality of your printing operations.
