The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO Series printers include breakthrough technology for professionals obsessed with beautiful prints. We have reset the bar in 17, 24, 44 and 60 inches wide with rich, detailed, brilliant color. These are the printers that are equally obsessed.
ANTI-CLOGGING TECHNOLOGY
Anti-clogging technology is designed to eliminate white lines for consistently high quality prints. Ink ejection conditions are precisely checked with sensors, and when a blockage is detected, another nozzle automatically provides backup and compensates to provide a smooth, even flow of ink.
In addition to reducing the possibility of printing failures due to banding, this also reduces the frequency at which head cleaning is required. By reducing unnecessary head cleaning you save valuable inks.
SMART NOZZLE
Engineered with 18,432 nozzles and sensors that continuously monitor status and deliver optimum results.
“The Canon PRO-1000 is an excellent printer and an excellent value... and makes fantastic, professional-quality prints. Colors are rich and vibrant, and the black levels are very good. Prints have a wide dynamic range and images show great detail and depth.”
- IMAGING-RESOURCE.COM
“Just when we thought printers couldn't get any better, along comes the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 with print quality that will blow your mind... prints were spot on for colour accuracy, displaying vibrant colours that jump off the page... You can't fail to be impressed with this printer.”
- PHOTOGRAPHYBLOG.COM
“...it was well worth the wait. Machines like these are designed to print exceptionally well, and the PRO-1000 certainly does... particularly good grayscale images... built-in Wi-Fi... stunning photos with deep blacks and brilliant colors.”

USER EXPERIENCE
Witness the beauty of intuitive user interface advances with our powerful new plug-in software. Customize and save multiple printing parameters and then recall those settings on-the-fly for finely tuned consistency. Save time, ink, paper, and place the focus on your prints, not set up.
Canon-in, Canon-out now has greater appeal because a contrast reproduction function in combination with the Digital Lens Optimizer (included in Digital Photo Professional) prints sharp, high-definition images without losing any of the qualities present when the image was photographed.
Manage multiple printers, regardless of location, with the Device Management Console Monitor, as well as calibrate remotely. Settings you establish here can be duplicated in another printer there.
Accurately track the costs of every single job with Accounting Manager by accounting for every sheet of paper and the volume of ink needed for each print.
LUCIA PRO INK
With 11-color inks, including a newly formulated blue and magenta, plus the Chroma Optimizer ink, produce superior printouts on which dark blue areas are clearly defined to express your printed photography with the power of nuance.
Achieve a wider color gamut and richer details in darker shadowed areas for the finest details in nightscapes and sunsets. Also change media types from glossy to fine art paper seamlessly with a dedicated nozzle for Matte Black and Photo Black.
A rich and inky saturated black is the telltale sign of a high quality print. Canon formulated a range of black inks to leverage a sheet’s qualities for both gloss and matte papers. We merge complexity with simplicity, and variety with singularity for perfection.
Our eyes search for meaning and truth in these underlying areas of subtle detail. Printed images that are able to reproduce fine details within these shadowy spaces achieve a higher level of polish and perfection. Our whole new shade of blue makes all the difference in bringing this beauty to bear.
AIR FEEDING SYSTEM
The Air Feeding System prevents each page from skewing and improves the precision of ink droplet placement. A series of openings located on top of the platen vacuum-grips the paper flat during feeding.
The skew correction function guarantees that all types of paper, including thick Fine Art papers, can be printed without misplacement as it is held tight to the platen with a vacuum grip, even in environments with factors of temperature and humidity.
The optional Multifunction Roll System can be used in two different ways enabling users to load two rolls of different media types and sizes at the same time.
Users can automatically switch from printing on matte to gloss paper simply by selecting the media in the print driver without pause or waste. The unit can also be easily configured as a bi-directional take-up unit for a wrinkle-free printed sheet delivered in a tidy roll.
Loading media on a Canon large-format printer has never been easier than on the imagePROGRAF PRO Series printers with an automatic feed.
PRINT SPEEDS
A smarter engine enables both high-resolution and high-speed printing in one fell swoop. Witness 32,256,000 ink droplets placed on the paper per second. The high-precision control engine processes massive volumes of image data, generates the printing data, and controls optimal ink layout for spectacular color, detail and density on high-resolution prints, at a rapid pace.
A 1.28” wide print head expands the printing area by 50% so that with each movement of the print head you gain greater efficiencies and faster speeds while producing a quality of print that is remarkable by any standard.
BE OBSESSED WITH COLOR
Preserve, display, and relive the magic of the moment from capture to output. Faithfully reproduce every nuance and color of the original scene for the absolute truest prints possible. This is the professional printer series that excels under expectation. Create stunning black and white prints, detailed graduations, and wide color gamuts that can reproduce the most difficult magentas and blues.
