Gallery-quality prints, up to 24 inches wide, straight from your studio. The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-2600 is a 24-inch, 12-color pigment inkjet printer made for professional photographers, fine art printmakers, and print studios. Its LUCIA PRO II pigment ink set gives you deep blacks, smooth tonal gradations, and a wide color gamut, whether you're printing a full-color portfolio or a black-and-white exhibition piece. The Chroma Optimizer improves black density on art papers and adds scratch resistance to the finished print.
Why photographers and print studios choose the PRO-2600
-
12-color LUCIA PRO II pigment ink: Matte Black, Photo Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Grey, Photo Grey, Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Red, Blue, and Chroma Optimizer. The wide palette helps with difficult colors and fine gradations.
-
Prints made to last: Canon designs the ink for high light resistance and scratch resistance, so your work holds up for sale, exhibition, and display.
-
Precision print head: The user-replaceable PF-10 print head has 18,432 nozzles (1,536 per color across 12 colors) and prints at up to 2400 x 1200 dpi, with a minimum ink droplet size of 4 pl.
-
Consistent color, print after print: Built-in color calibration keeps output consistent over time and across multiple imagePROGRAF PRO Series printers.
-
Less babysitting: Intelligent media handling detects paper type, width, and remaining roll length. An ink sensing system also monitors nozzle ejection and runs an automatic alignment adjustment when it spots a problem.
-
Easy to check your work: Interior LED lighting lets you inspect prints in the printer, and the translucent ink tank covers let you see ink levels at a glance.
