PHOTO PRINTERS ©Nick Vedros PHOTO PRINTER TECHNOLOGY Built upon a foundation of leading-edge technologies, the EOS System puts photographers in touch with their mind's eye, enabling them to capture images of beauty and clarity that had once existed only in their imaginations. Canon's commitment to photographic excellence, however, does not end with image capture. Combining Canon's superb expertise in photography, photocopying and printing technologies, Canon imagePROGRAF and PIXMA photo printers are redefining output quality, performance and convenience.

Understanding the demands of professional photographers-especially those who shoot with the EOS System-Canon has responded with the imagePROGRAF series Photo Printers. Both feature impressive new technologies that bring superb quality and performance to large format photo printing. It's never been simpler or more cost-effective to produce gallery-grade prints at home or in the studio. LUCIA 12- Color Pigment Ink Set Canon's 12-color LUCIA ink set includes Red, Blue, Green, LUCIA Ink Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Gray, Photo Gray and Matte Black inks in addition to the traditional Cyan, Magenta, Yellow Canon LUCIA Ink set vs. Adobe RGB and Black inks. This Canon RC Photogloss L=50 enables the imagePROGRAF printers to reproduce a much wider range of colors with superb saturation and tonal gradation.

The LUCIA ink set for imagePROGRAF iPF6100 and iPF5100 feature the same wide color gamut of their predecessors, but with improved features. They offer greater scratch resistance and longevity thanks to an improved polymer coating that allows the ink to bond more efficiently and effectively to the paper. Reformulated Gray and Photo Gray inks combine with processing opti- mization to ensure better gradation, resulting in even less visible grain than their predecessors, and offer a higher overall print quality with dramatically reduced bronzing. LUCIA 12-Color Pigment Ink Set Automatic Color Stability Control System All imagePROGRAF printers offer a sophisticated, automatic color stability control system for simple, predictable color. With a high-performance multisensor installed in the printer, calibration is done easily and quickly (approximately 10 minutes) with a simple setup from the printer's operation panel. When calibrated, photographers will find amazing consistency among all calibrated printers they might use. Canon's imagePROGRAF color calibration will ensure that the colors photographers saw when they shot, and on their calibrated computer screens will be preserved in print. PhotoLithographic User-Replaceable Print Heads Canon's FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print heads helps to ensure accurate and detailed ink delivery, no matter the medium being Multi-nozzle Dual Print Heads used for printing. This new, advanced head design uses two print heads- each with 15,360 nozzles-yielding over 30,000 nozzles, which release microscopic ink droplets quickly and precisely. This not only makes extremely high output resolution simple, but also ensures faster, more reliable printing. Photographers no longer need to compromise on print speed to attain high image quality because Canon's superb print head technologies deliver both. The large number of nozzles also substantially increases print head life, so the printer requires less frequent maintenance. The print heads are user replaceable, can be replaced with minimal downtime and without service calls, saving time and money and increasing productivity. 16-Bit Printing Support While conventional inkjet printers support 8 bits per-channel and require a conversion from 16 bits somewhere during the workflow, the imagePROGRAF Printers provide advanced support for high-bit depth files. Software Plug-ins enable high-bit depth images to be printed directly from Digital Photo Professional 2.1. Also included is an export module for printing 16-bit files directly from Adobe® Photoshop®. These features provide the photographer with the first true wide-dynamic-range workflow option from capture to output. Images are reproduced with smoother tonal gradations for greater photorealism. Dynamic-range-related problems, such as posterization and banding, are significantly reduced.

imagePROGRAF Printer Technology
Photographers seeking to produce their own
gallery-grade inkjet prints have had limited
choices until now. Understanding the demands of
professional photographers—especially those who
shoot with the EOS System—Canon has responded
with the imagePROGRAF series Photo Printers.
Both feature impressive new technologies that
bring superb quality and performance to large
format photo printing. It’s never been simpler or
more cost-effective to produce gallery-grade
prints at home or in the studio.
LUCIA 12-

Ink Set
Canon’s 12-color
LUCIA ink set
includes Red,
Blue, Green,
Photo Cyan, Photo
Magenta, Gray,
Photo Gray and
Matte Black inks
in addition to the
traditional Cyan,
Magenta, Yellow
and Black inks. This
enables the imagePROGRAF printers to reproduce
a much wider range of colors with superb saturation
and tonal gradation. Moreover, the two Gray
inks ensure
black-and-
