Canon ImagePrograf PRO-1000 Inkjet Printer

The imagePROGRAF PRO-1000, distinguished by the characteristic red line typically associated with Canon's professional lenses, is capable of producing large-format photo prints measuring up to 17 inches in width, with a resolution of up to 2400 x 1200 dpi. This professional-grade inkjet printer can execute borderless prints up to 17 x 22 inches and is compatible with thick fine art media measuring 27.6 mil.

Equipped with Canon's exceptional FINE printing technology and a sizable print head, the PRO-1000 utilizes an 11-color LUCIA PRO pigment-based ink set along with a Chroma Optimizer cartridge. This combination enables the production of prints that exhibit intricate detail and a broad, precise color range. The Chroma Optimizer cartridge enhances color uniformity on coated papers and minimizes variations in ink droplet height, resulting in a smooth ink application and reduced metamerism.

Mobile Ready

The imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 stands out for its connectivity features, offering options such as USB 2.0, Ethernet, and integrated Wi-Fi. The inclusion of wireless printing enhances the printer's functionality, allowing compatibility with Canon's PRINT App, PIXMA Cloud Link, and PictBridge.

The PRINT App for iOS and Android enables users to wirelessly send images and files from their mobile devices for printing, as well as to monitor ink levels and printer status remotely. PIXMA Cloud Link facilitates access to Google Cloud Print, enabling direct printing of documents from cloud-based servers.

As a printer equipped with wireless PictBridge capabilities, the PRO-1000 allows users to connect PictBridge-compliant devices, such as compatible digital cameras or smartphones, via wireless LAN, enabling direct printing of captured images without the need for a computer.

FINE Print Head

The imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 employs Canon's FINE printing technology, featuring a print head that is 50% larger than those found in earlier models. FINE, which stands for Full-Photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering, utilizes 1,536 nozzles for each color, enabling the production of exceptionally detailed prints on a range of fine-art papers, characterized by rich blacks and precise color accuracy.

Anti-Clogging

The FINE print head employs a tubular ink delivery mechanism, which facilitates quicker printing speeds and minimizes the risk of clogging. Furthermore, the conditions for ink ejection are meticulously monitored by sensors, and in the event of a clog, an alternative nozzle is activated automatically to serve as a backup. This system not only prevents the loss of prints caused by clogs but also decreases the need for frequent nozzle maintenance.

LUCIA PRO Inks

A collection of 12 separate ink cartridges comprises 11 standard inks along with a Chroma Optimizer cartridge, which enhances color uniformity on coated papers and minimizes variations in ink droplet height. This ensures a smooth application of ink and reduces metamerism. Among the 11 standard inks, there are four monochrome inks designed to diminish bronzing, enhance black density, and broaden the dynamic range in shadow areas, resulting in superior grayscale prints.

Fast Image Processing Engine

The PRO-1000, featuring the L-COA PRO Image Processing Engine, is capable of swiftly and precisely identifying printing paths and patterns, thereby optimizing its operational speed and efficiency. This advanced capability allows for the production of bordered 17 x 22" photographs in a mere 4 minutes and 10 seconds, while a two-way vacuum feeder ensures that the media remains flat and is fed accurately and promptly.
