Featuring 5 Types of Monochrome Ink and the new Chroma Optimizer
for the Ultimate Print Quality
|
Canon today announces the new PIXMA PRO-1 Professional Photo Printer with a new 12-color ink system for leading printing performance, capable of delivering gallery quality photos to satisfy the needs of professional photographers for studio printing. The new 12-color ink system brings expanded color gamut with improved saturation of colors that realizes prints details, texture and color tones in professional standards. Featuring 5 types of monochrome ink for darker and deeper blacks, professional and true-to-life B&W prints are guaranteed with delicate tonal gradations. PIXMA PRO-1 is also equipped with a new Optimum Image Generating System to ensure perfect print results with the best color reproduction, gradations and photo durability. New 12-Color Ink System for Unbeatable Color Reproduction
PIXMA PRO-1 is equipped with a new LUCIA 12-color pigment-based individual ink system for expanded color gamut that reproduces prints in vibrant and saturated colors. The 12-color ink system consisting of Cyan, Magenta, Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Yellow, Red, 5 types of monochrome ink and a new Chroma Optimizer delivers richer details, gradation and texture to the photos. 5 Types of Monochrome Ink for Breathtaking Professional B&W Prints
PIXMA PRO-1 features 5 types of monochrome ink. In addition to the conventional Photo Black, Matte Black and Gray, Dark Gray and Light Gray are added to deliver darker and deeper blacks for smooth, delicate and natural tonal gradations in grayscale imagery. Color gamut is expanded even in the darkest area to ensure prints with stunning details, raising the level of professional B&W print quality. The newly added Light Gray ink can effectively suppress the graininess especially in highlights where graininess tends to stand out, attaining the finest photo quality. New Chroma Optimizer for Smooth Ink Layer to Reproduce the Faithful Colors
PIXMA PRO-1 is equipped with a new Chroma Optimizer which reduces the difference in ink droplet height to form a smooth and flat ink layer on the photo paper, thus guaranteeing uniformed light reflection. The printed photos show highly uniformed glossiness with black density enhanced and color gamut expanded in dark area, ensuring exceptional print quality with impressive color contrast. New Optimum Image Generating System for the Perfect Printing Performance
PIXMA PRO-1 features a new Optimum Image Generating System to ensure the best results for each print mode and paper type used through advanced analysis to achieve the optimum ink combination and ink droplet placement. It meticulously analyses and determines the most versatile ink combination from among countless others by looking at 3 critical image factors including 1) glossiness and anti-bronzing, 2) graininess and gradations and 3) gamut and density. With the optimum ink combination, photos printed are guaranteed with enhanced color reproduction, tonal gradations and uniform glossiness. Large Volume Individual Ink Tanks for Less Ink Tank Replacement
PIXMA PRO-1 features larger individual ink tanks for more productive and streamlined workflow, as less ink tank replacement will be needed. Easy-PhotoPrint Pro for Easy and Professional Image Processing
PIXMA PRO-1 also bundles with the professional Easy-PhotoPrint Pro plug-in software that offers versatile easy to use printing functions. Print setup or conversion of a color image to grayscale for printing can be done in just a few steps, realizing a much simplified printing operation. The software is also compatible with Digital Photo Professional (ver. 2.1 or above), an EOS photo editing software, and Adobe® Photoshop^. With Digital Photo Professional, users can enjoy a streamlined workflow as direct print of RAW files in EOS digital SLR cameras can be achieved without the need to convert to TIFF or JPEG formats. Color Management Tool Pro for Easier Creation of Customized ICC Profile
PIXMA PRO-1 is also provided with Color Management Tool Pro software for users to create customized ICC Profile for different print media. It supports users to choose from a wide range of paper and manage color setting simultaneously, minimizing the efforts on color calibration and problems such as color deviation to deliver highly cost effective printing. Specially designed “Enable ICC Profile” color mode allows user to choose the suitable ICC profile for Canon's genuine photo papers automatically. This facilitates easy color management when dealing with different papers and print modes to ensure faithful reproduction of high quality images. ^ Compatible with Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3/CS4/CS5/Elements®6/7/8/9 and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.7/3 The Canon's new PIXMA PRO-1 Professional 12-Color Wide-Gamut A3+ Photo Printer is now available in Hong Kong with suggested retail price of HK$8,988.

With over 70 years of experience in imaging products manufacturing, Canon's global revenue currently stands at US$45.7 billion (as of 31 December 2011). The extensive resources it devotes to research and development has made Canon one of the U.S. imaging industry's top technology patent-holders, and the only manufacturer across the globe to offer both input and output device solutions to the world's various imaging needs.
