Newly launched Canon imagePROGRAF PRO line features newly developed LUCIA PRO II pigment ink

Designed for photography and fine art, the line of newly launched Canon imagePROGRAF PRO features the newly developed LUCIA PRO II pigment ink designed to help improve the image quality from previous imagePROGRAF PRO Series models while also enhancing resistance to light fading. Improved black density on art paper is achieved by changing the formulation and material of matte black ink. The colour gamut of dark regions is expanded by the adoption of a newly designed image table.

Further, a crystalline wax has been added to the new inks, helping the production and preservation of images by giving the printed surface better resistance to abrasion-caused scratches on glossy and semi-glossy media. The reformulated Chroma Optimiser is designed to give the surface a clear coat of transparent ink that helps to suppress ‘bronzing’ and reduce uneven glossiness. In addition, the new line of Canon imagePROGRAF PRO Series includes a newly developed ink sensing system which periodically monitors the accuracy of the ink ejection and automatically maintains optimal ink placement position.
