How to bring stunning detail to your prints with the imagePROGRAF PRO-1000
Whether you are prepping your images for display or sale, you need a professional printer capable of producing excellent detail and colour – making the imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 the perfect partner for bringing your best images to life.
When it comes to faithfully reproducing your best shots, dynamics, colour and quality are paramount. The imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 printer inherits the red line from the EOS series – a symbol of exceptional quality – and thanks to its advanced 12-ink system, faultless workflow and additional dedicated photo editing software, you can produce photos that stay true to your creative vision. Let us show you how.
Canon's 'Crystal-fidelity' workflow
The imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 allows Canon EOS camera users to print their images confidently using purpose-built photo and printing software: Digital Photo Professional and the Print Studio Pro and Professional Print & Layout plug-ins. This unique Canon input-output workflow allows you to edit and print your Canon EOS images while retaining their original detail and clarity.
Increased usability in the workflow
Productivity and efficiency can then be supercharged with dedicated Canon print plug-ins. Designed for popular photo editing software, Canon’s Print Studio Pro and Professional Print & Layout streamline the process of printing, helping you to deliver a more accurate screen-to-print match.
With Print Studio Pro, print functions are brought together onto one screen for easy usability, including tools for cropping and rotation, print settings and a live preview. An advanced user interface on Professional Print & Layout also ensures a streamlined workflow, with a step-by-step print procedure for smooth production.
Flexible settings and colour management
Canon’s plug-ins also make it easier for you to adjust the printer, paper, layout and colour settings to help deliver the best quality prints. A 'Contrast reproduction' feature, available in both plug-ins, enables greater clarity to be achieved too.
Keep your colour management on track with ICC Profile selection. An improved printer profile design and easy-to-use Black Point Compensation means colour reproduction can be enhanced, matching the darkest point of the image's ICC profile to the printer's. Rendering intent and soft proofing will also keep your images faithful to your vision.
Superb black and white prints
Add some film-noir style to your imagery with eye-catching monochrome prints. High-quality black and white images with neutral tones can be achieved thanks to the LUCIA PRO ink system’s four dedicated monochrome inks – photo black, matt black, grey and photo grey – for black and white images that boast exceptional depth and clarity.
Increased efficiency for high volume use
Frequent ink changes can disrupt your flow, but thanks to large capacity 80ml ink tanks, you can stay in your creative space. A simple-to-replace maintenance cartridge will also increase efficiency if you're a high-volume print user - all 12 inks are easily loaded from the front of the printer and are housed behind a flip-down cover for even simpler access.
