The imagePrograf Pro-1000 professional inkjet printer complements Canon’s professional line of EOS DSLR cameras and lenses. The 17-inch, large-format solution includes a new printhead, new ink and a new image-processing engine. Its FINE printhead has a tubular ink delivery system designed to generate faster print speeds. It also reduces the possibility of clogging. Additionally, ink ejection conditions are checked with sensors. If a clog is detected, another nozzle automatically provides backup. This also reduces the frequency of which nozzle cleaning is required.

The printer also uses a Canon air-feeding system. Air-feeding is designed to prevent each page from skewing for accurate ink placement, regardless of paper type. In addition, denser droplet placement provides a broader color gamut and improved gloss uniformity for glossiness and anti-bronzing. On fine art papers, higher black density is said to render even the finest shadow detail. $1,299.99.
