MELVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon
U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, is excited to announce the new imagePROGRAF PRO
Series printers: PRO-6100, PRO-4100, PRO-2100, PRO-6100S and
PRO-4100S models. These large-format solutions offer new innovative
technologies for fine art, photographers and production signage
users.
Building on the success of the previous PRO Series, these new
printers feature a "first-of-its-kind" intelligent automatic media
feeding and media reading system, which allows the operator to move
away from the printer after placing the roll in the machine,
removing the need to feed the roll or select the media type. After
the roll is loaded into the machine the media is automatically fed
while the built in multi-sensor measures the surface reflection and
media thickness to identify the media type. The device features a
new technology in which it can automatically detect the media
length as well, without the need to print a barcode as with Canon's
previous devices and as with current third-party devices. These new
models also have the ability to print borderless on all standard
and custom widths, an ideal time and cost-savings feature built to
benefit print professionals.
"Print has the ability to bring ideas to life, and Canon is
happy to provide its customers with the ability to do so more
efficiently through the new imagePROGRAF PRO Series," said
Shinichi Yoshida executive vice
president and general manager, Canon U.S.A., Inc. "Utilizing Canon's
intelligent media feeding and reading system, our customers can now
spend more time exploring their creativity, and less time having to
deal with the manual hassle of feeding rolls into the machine."
The new PRO Series is designed to provide customers with an
easy-to-use experience that values time as well as productivity.
Built with an intuitive, upgraded 4.3 inch touch-screen operation
panel, this series provides users with better operability and
visibility. For added usability, the three main functions, media
switching, feeding and cutting, are conveniently hard buttons on
the front of the product's interface to contribute to better media
handling and save users the hassle of having to navigate through
multiple functions. The printers have all been updated with a
transparent clear window designed to allow end users to easily see
whether printing has begun, and check printed images and the
printing size.
The standard, built-in multi-sensor helps enable easy and
economical color calibration for consistent color reproduction from
print to print, as well as from printer to printer. With the Device
Management Console software, production professionals with multiple
printers can centralize status and color management across a
variety of devices. The series is also developed with advanced
security features, including support of PIN printing to help
protect data and increased administrative control of end-user
printing. Additionally, users now have the ability to turn off the
Chroma Optimizer, per individual media type, allowing more
creative control of the printing process.
The new PRO Series also includes as standard a wide variety of
creative and workflow software to help increase the productivity
and efficiency of large-format printing environments. These
software features include Professional Print & Layout, which
supports auto nesting and achieves a streamlined workflow for
printing photos, providing customers with the ability to create and
save custom template designs, which is ideal for wedding packages,
and Direct Print & Share, allowing production end users to
batch print files and create hot folders for drag and drop
printing.
"The imagePROGRAF PRO-2100 printer has the great color and
density we expected from Canon and the new borderless printing
feature has increased our productivity while cutting waste" said
Larry Hook, director, Cashman Pro Lab. "This cost-effective solution
offers our users the high quality prints they desire while being a
solution that is easy for employees to operate. We look forward to
purchasing another printer in the near future to keep up with our
print demands."
Models from the new imagePROGRAF PRO Series will be showcased at
the PHOTOPLUS 2019 (Booth #121), taking place from October 24-26 in New
York City at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
