The cutting-edge print system is all centred around the fantastic LUCIA ink technology. These inks are a game-changer for print professionals; they're available in three sizes and swappable while the printer is still running. This feature means no more money sitting in the machine with colours you don't often use and fewer pauses in production. Good news for those with busy print schedules!

One of our favourite features is the ability to print edge-to-edge flawlessly without the need to trim, along with handy included software to make arranging prints a breeze. Canon has done a great job here! They didn't reinvent the wheel but created a new generation of inkjet printers that perform brilliantly and can save time for print service providers.

These machines utilise just one printhead with an impressive 18,432 nozzles and integrated anti-clogging technology – a feature that ensures your printer maintains optimum-quality output. With this innovative wider-width printhead, the imagePROGRAF PRO Series is engineered to meet the output speeds needed in this "I want it now" marketplace.

The outstanding media feed system makes loading and switching between different media types easy. The PRO printers can even automatically detect and store media data.

We have to mention the outstanding media feed system, too, because it saves time and effort– trust us, we know how fiddly some machines can load and run!

Thankfully this range boasts automatic roll feeding, which means effortless loading without grubby fingerprints on the media. Plus, a dual-roll system lets you easily switch between different media or use it as a take-up unit when printing longer runs. These PRO printers can even automatically detect and store media data – a lifesaver for those switching media regularly.
