KEY FEATURES

The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 is a feature-rich printer which can produce high-detail, high-quality images when printed on a variety of media, creating images that look as accurate printed as when they were captured. The imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 A2/17″ printer features Canon’s new LUCIA PRO ink system, an 11-colour (plus Chroma Optimizer) system which uses an optimised resin coating for denser ink droplets, which increases the colour gamut. The LUCIA PRO high longevity pigment ink system includes a newly formulated Photo Black, Matt Black, Grey and Photo Grey, which together with a specialist Chroma Optimizer ink, ensures professional quality monochrome prints with increased black density and uniform glossiness. LUCA PRO inks deliver a broader colour gamut when printing on fine art paper and expanded colour areas in dark areas. The LUCIA PRO ink system features dedicated nozzles for each of the black inks (Photo and Matte Black), saving time and ink by eliminating the need to change inks when changing papers. The Chroma Optimiser improves light reflection and reduces bronzing by regulating the ink-droplet height for an even brilliance across the print surface.

The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 ensures the correct balance and mixture of inks, with precise ink droplet placement, to achieve optimum quality photos at a professional grade by incorporating a new Canon’s L-COA (Large Format Common Architecture) PRO Image Processing System. The L-COA PRO engine works with a 1 GB internal memory core, to process large volumes of data at high speeds.

MANUFACTURER INFORMATION

Canon imagePROGRAF PRO Series printers (PRO-1000, PRO-4000, PRO-6000, PRO-4000S, and PRO-6000S) use a number of advanced Canon proprietary technologies. FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print-head technology and dual print head design features a total of 18,432 nozzles into a 1.28″ high density print head. Bi-directional printing design of the imagePROGAF printers means print times are significantly faster than conventional print systems which require multiple passes for each line to compensate for uneven droplet size and placement on the paper. An innovative ink-nozzle manufacturing method results in precisely uniform 4 picolitre droplets resulting in 2400 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi) resolution.

Canon’s innovative LUCIA PRO 12 pigment ink system incorporates 11 colours plus Chroma Optimizer and superfine 4-pl (picoliter) ink droplets, ensuring a wide colour gamut, smooth gradation, reduced graininess and reduced bronzing. Canon’s LUCIA PRO ink system delivers exceptionally accurate colours by including both RGB and CMYK. The LUCIA PRO inks are delivered via the FINE print head with a tubular ink delivery system that results in faster printer speeds and enables stable, high quality printing. LUCIA Pro includes a newly formulated Photo Black ink and both Photo and Matte Black have their own channels, so no ink swap is needed when changing papers, increasing efficiency and improving resistance to clogging nozzles for consistent results. The 12 channel ink system enables economical printing because there is less need to blend colours (such as magenta and yellow to create red) and so less ink is required. Two grey inks are included, further reducing the need to blend colours and keeping costs down. Four monochromatic inks; black, matt black, grey, and photo grey inks, produce brilliant black and white photography reproduction delivering incredible lifelike photographs with exceptional detail, opening the door to numerous applications including wedding photography, christenings and the fast growing lifestyle portrait work. The Chroma Optimizer regulates the ink-droplet height for an even brilliance across the print surface for reduced bronzing. LUCIA PRO ink systems have an innovative polymer structure that result in exceptional scratch resistance and protection from colour fading, while reducing bronzing to ensure durable, stable output for over 100 years.

The LUCIA PRO 8 colour models (PRO-4000S and PRO-6000S) produce vivid colour expression with low ink consumption on glossy paper by microencapsulated colour materials. 8 colour models arrange the key colours of cyan, magenta, yellow and matte black in a mirrored layout on the print head. Posters with high colour density can be created with fewer print passes at faster print speeds.

Canon’s new processing engine and printer architecture deliver further accuracy to ink ejection and limitation of colour unevenness. The new L-COA (Large Format printer Common Architecture) PRO image processing technology instantly determines optimal droplet combinations to deliver best results that are faithful to the original image. L-COA PRO delivers faster, high-quality output and print optimization by carefully calculating best results for each print mode and media using various factors including colour reproduction, tonal gradations, black density, graininess, glossiness, anti-bronzing and elimination of metamerism, all of which contribute to creating an amazing printed image. L-COA PRO is combined with 1GB of memory, which enables high-speed processing of massive volumes of image data for demanding workflows. Additionally, the new two-way vacuum paper feeder keeps media flat and even, assisting with accuracy of ink ejection.

Canon’s Advanced Colour Calibration is a powerful built-in colour calibration system ensuring the most stable colour reproduction attainable, preventing variability of colour output by aging changes or printer differences. In conventional systems, changing print heads may cause a minute variation in print output, due to the density characteristics of the print head. With Canon’s Advanced Colour Calibration, a multi-sensor measures variations in density on a printed calibration chart and then automatically applies any appropriate adjustments to ensure an exact match for long-term consistency.
