The new imagePROGRAF PRO line is specifically tailored for photography and fine art enthusiasts, boasting an array of innovative features aimed at giving excellent image quality and durability.
At the heart of the printer is the newly developed LUCIA PRO II pigment ink, enhancing image fidelity while giving prints high fade resistance.
One of the improvements in LUCIA PRO II pigment ink is the refined formula of the matte black ink coupled with a material overhaul, resulting in improved black density on art paper. This is complemented by a redesigned image table, expanding the color gamut of the dark region, thus enriching the depth and vibrancy of printed images.
The inclusion of a crystalline wax component within the ink formulation offers heightened protection against abrasion, particularly on glossy and semi-glossy media. This addition not only improves the longevity of prints but also contributes to extremely long lasting prints (up to 200 years).
Addressing the problems of glossy surfaces, the reformulated Chroma Optimiser prints a clear coat of transparent ink, effectively mitigating undesirable bronzing and uneven glossiness, achieving a professional-grade finish. The seven-color ink system, featuring grey and orange inks, allows users to achieve a remarkable 96% coverage of the PANTONEĀ FORMULA GUIDE Solid Coated palette. This expansive color reproduction capability ensures that poster prints exhibit the vividness and accuracy that resonate with the original artwork's intent.
The incorporation of wax into the new inks ink not only enhances durability but also helps to give a wider gamut of color reproduction, particularly on glossy and semi-glossy media, ensuring prints remain visually striking for years. Genuine Canon LUCIA PRO II pigment ink gives robust color reproduction capabilities and sets a new standard for excellence in photography and fine art printing.
