PHOTO PRINTER TECHNOLOGY
Built upon a foundation of leading-edge technologies, the EOS System puts photographers in touch with their mind's eye, enabling
them to capture images of beauty and clarity that had once existed only in their imaginations. Canon's commitment to photographic
excellence, however, does not end with image capture. Combining
Canon's superb expertise in photography, photocopying and printing
technologies, Canon imagePROGRAF and
PIXMA photo printers are redefining output quality,
performance and convenience. They are the
perfect complement to your EOS System with
results that are nothing short of stunning!

Photographers seeking to produce their own
gallery-grade inkjet prints have had limited
choices until now. Understanding the demands of
professional photographers—especially those who
shoot with the EOS System—Canon has responded
with the imagePROGRAF series Photo Printers.
Both feature impressive new technologies that
bring superb quality and performance to large
format photo printing. It's never been simpler or
more cost-effective to produce gallery-grade
prints at home or in the studio.

enables the imagePROGRAF printers to reproduce
a much wider range of colors with superb saturation
and tonal gradation. Moreover, the two Gray
substantially reduced metamerism. The LUCIA
ink set for imagePROGRAF iPF6100 and iPF5100
feature the same wide color gamut of their
predecessors, but with improved features. They
offer greater scratch resistance and longevity
thanks to an improved polymer coating that
allows the ink to bond more efficiently and

effectively to the paper. Reformulated Gray and
Photo Gray inks combine with processing opti-
mization to ensure better gradation, resulting in
even less visible grain than their predecessors,
and offer a higher overall print quality with
dramatically reduced bronzing.
LUCIA 12-Color Pigment Ink Set
All imagePROGRAF printers offer a sophisticated,
automatic color stability control system for simple,
predictable color. With a high-performance multi-
LUCIA Ink
sensor installed in the printer, calibration is done
easily and quickly (approximately 10 minutes) with
a simple setup from the printer's operation panel.
When calibrated, photographers will find amazing
consistency among all calibrated printers they might
use. Canon's imagePROGRAF color calibration will
ensure that the colors photographers saw when
they shot, and on their calibrated computer screens
will be preserved in print.

ing. This new,
advanced head design uses two print heads—
each with 15,360 nozzles—yielding over 30,000
nozzles, which release microscopic ink droplets
quickly and precisely. This not only makes extremely
high output resolution simple, but also ensures
faster, more reliable printing. Photographers no
longer need to compromise on print speed to
attain high image quality because Canon's
superb print head technologies deliver both.
The large number of nozzles also substantially

replaceable, can be replaced with minimal
downtime and without service calls, saving time
and money and increasing productivity.
While conventional inkjet printers support 8 bits
per-channel and require a conversion from 16 bits
somewhere during the workflow, the imagePROGRAF
Printers provide advanced support for high-bit
depth files. Software Plug-ins enable high-bit
depth images to be printed directly from Digital
Photo Professional 2.1. Also included is an export
module for printing 16-bit files directly from

photographer with the first true wide-dynamic-range
workflow option from capture to output. Images
are reproduced with smoother tonal gradations
for greater photorealism. Dynamic-range-related
problems, such as posterization and banding,
are significantly reduced.
