Photographers seeking to produce their

own gallery-grade inkjet prints have had

limited choices until now. Understanding

the demands of professional photogra-

phers—especially those who shoot with

the EOS System—Canon has responded

with the imagePROGRAF series Photo

Printers featuring impressive new tech-

nologies that bring unprecedented 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 Ink

Set

The 12-color Canon LUCIA

ink set delivers a substan-

tially wider color gamut than

competitive printers. The far

greater range of available

colors produces richer, more

vibrant prints with signifi-

cantly reduced metamerism

(the perceived shift of color

balance when viewing prints

under different lighting conditions). The ink set

includes three levels of gray—Black, Gray, and

Photo Gray—to deliver black-and-white photo

prints of exceptional tonal detail. The inks are

pigment-based, ensuring long-lasting prints with

excellent archival characteristics. imagePROGRAF

printers ship with a starter set of all 12 inks.

Photo-Lithographic User-

Replaceable Dual Print Heads

An advanced

head design

uses two print

heads—each

with 15,360

nozzles—yield-

ing over 30,000 nozzles. This not only makes

possible extremely high output resolution but

also ensures faster, more reliable printing.

Photographers no longer need to choose between

print speed and image quality. The large number

of nozzles also substantially increase print

head life so that the printer requires less frequent

maintenance. And because the print heads

are user-replaceable, maintenance can be per-

formed with minimal downtime and no costly

service calls.

16-Bit Printing Support

While conventional inkjet printers are 8-bit-per-

channel devices, requiring a conversion from

16 bits somewhere along the workflow, the

imagePROGRAF printers provide advanced direct

output support for 16-bit files. A supplied plug-

in enables printing of 16-bit RAW images directly

from Digital Photo Professional software. Also

included is an export module for direct printing

of 16-bit files 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 virtually eliminated.

Automated Black Ink Cartridge

Switching

The ink set includes Black and Matte Black, only

one of which will be used depending on output

media selection. While other printers require

the user to perform an inconvenient and wasteful

manual operation to flush unused ink and

switch cartridges, the imagePROGRAF printers

automate the process. With both Black ink car-

tridges loaded and live at all times, the switchover

is fast and wasteless, performed with a simple

push of a button.

Unsurpassed Output

Media Selection

Canon imagePROGRAF

printers include sup-

port for a wide range

of papers and spe-

cialty output media,

such as RC photo

papers, transpar-

ent film, and fine

art papers.

Superior carriage

design enables the printer

to handle a wide range of media thicknesses

and finishes. Moreover, the Media Configuration

Tool supplied with the printer enables users to

update the software, using a periodically

published database, to accommodate new

Canon and other popular media as they

become available.

Combining unparal-

leled Canon expert-

ise in photography,

photocopying, and

printing technologies,

PIXMA Pro photo

printers are redefining

output quality, per-

formance, and convenience. Canon PIXMA

Pro photo printers are meeting, and even

surpassing, the expectations of the most

demanding photographers.

FINE Print Head

Technology

Canon’s high-precision

FINE (Full-photolithography

Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print heads each

have thousands of nozzles designed to release

microscopic ink droplets as small as 1 picoliter

in a single pass, resulting in fast, high resolution

printing. Capable of plotting thousands of ink

droplets each second, the high-density nozzle

pitch produces sharper detail and less grain.

10-Color Pigment

Ink System

Featuring the same LUCIA

pigment ink found in the

imagePROGRAF printers, the PIXMA Pro9500’s

10-color pigment ink set produces professional-

quality, archival prints. The Gray, Photo Black

and Matte Black ink produce monochrome

photographs of unrivaled quality on fine art

and glossy paper. Gray ink reduces grain,

banding and metamerism and virtually eliminates

color shifts. Unlike Black ink that increases

contrast, Matte Black ink increases black density

on fine art papter while maintaining detail in

shadows. With 10 individual ink tanks, users

can replace a single color, reducing waste and

saving money. Since the Pro9500’s ink is less

sensitive to light and environmental factors,

prints have incredibly smooth gradations and

are archival.

ChromaLife100

Ink System

The PIXMA Pro9000 features the highly refined

dye-based Canon ChromaLife100 ink system,

which uses Red and Green inks in addition to

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Cyan, Photo

Magenta, and Photo Black. This advanced

8-color system reproduces a much wider color

gamut than conventional inkjet printers, deliv-

ering a color range that rivals color slide film.

The dye-based ink set further ensures vividly

brilliant colors and a high-luster surface finish

that enhances the beauty of printed images.

Long-Lasting Photos

Canon ChromaLife100 ink technology also

delivers prints that withstand the test of time.

PIXMA Pro prints will resist fading for up to

100 years when kept in select albums. When

combined with genuine Canon photo media,

prints typically exhibit 30-year light fastness

and 10-year gas fastness.

Canon Photo Printer Line-up

Canon’s 17-inch, wide-format imagePROGRAF iPF5100

features the exclusive LUCIA 12-color pigment ink set that

yields a tremendous range of colors and grays. For smooth,

detailed color and black and white images, no matter the

media. Canon’s FINE photo-lithographic heads ensure

accurate plotting of even the finest details thanks to over

30,000 nozzles. Matte Black ink and Black ink cartridges

are both loaded in the printer at the same time, enabling

automatic switching without wasting time or ink.

For the highest quality color and grayscale photographs,

up to 13" x 19", one needs to look no further than the

PIXMA Pro9500. With the LUCIA 10-color pigment ink

system, there’s no other printer out there that can print

both stunning color and smooth black and white photo-

graphs like the Pro9500. The inclusion of Gray, Matte and

Photo Black pigment tanks, combined with 3 pl droplets

ensure the smoothest gradations possible and the results

are prints that will astound.

Capable of quickly printing lab-quality prints up to 13" x

19", Canon’s PIXMA Pro9000 raises the bar thanks to its

combination of speed and versatility. Its FINE print head

generates a maximum resolution of 4800 x 2400 dpi

and ChromaLife100 dye-based inks create long lasting,

beautiful photos. Canon’s Easy-PhotoPrint Pro software,

including plug-ins for Digital Photo Professional V2.1 and

Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3, combined with a new

printer driver for advanced color control, ensuring accurate

prints from the start.
