Canon launches the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 Professional A2 Plus inkjet printer

Canon U.S.A., Inc., launched the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 Professional Inkjet Printer, a 17-inch, large-format desktop printer with 11 colors plus a “Chroma Optimizer,” the newest product in Canon’s “imagePROGRAF series” large format printers for photographers and fine art. The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 is scheduled to be available September 2024 for a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $1,299.99.

By adopting the newly developed pigment ink, LUCIA PRO II, the new printer is designed to meet the needs of professional photographers who want to print high-quality photos, while preserving the appeal of their work for the future, the company claims.  The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 is designed to provide superior light resistance for the long-term preservation of high-quality printed works. Improved black density on art paper was achieved by changing the formulation and material of matte black ink. The reformulated Chroma Optimizer is designed to give the surface a clear coat of transparent ink that helps suppress bronze phenomena and helps reduce uneven glossiness.

“The PRO-1100 builds on off the success of the imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 and makes it even better. This new printer offers photography professionals an incredible solution designed to deliver top-quality and long-lasting photos, to fit in almost any home or studio,” said Shuji “Steve” Suda, vice president of Canon U.S.A., Inc. “The imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 highlights Canon’s commitment to empowering the imaging community with innovative solutions that are designed to consistently deliver exceptional results.”
