The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-4600 is built to achieve the best quality for the graphic arts market. This includes photography and fine art – for photographers, photo studios and professional print services.
The newly developed LUCIA PRO II¹ ink includes an advanced colour development process that retains colour in an image for much longer. As a result, printed images have an excellent lightfastness which are preserved for 200 years².
Use of low reflectance pigments provides high black density. This allows fine art paper to reproduce a deeper black colour whilst expanding the range of expression of the work.
The addition of wax to the new LUCIA PRO II ink, provides better scratch resistance on glossy/semi-glossy paper surfaces. This improves handling during printing, post-processing, displaying and packaging.
With an automatic media loading system, you simply load the media and let your printer do the rest. Feed in the paper then detect media type, width and length with built-in multi-sensors.
Canon’s ‘hot swap ink system’ uses a sub-ink tank so you can replace inks on the fly. This helps to reduce downtime and boost productivity.
The new packaging is now more recyclable as expanded polystyrene packaging has been reduced by 89.5% (compared to the PRO-4100) and replaced with cardboard padding in the box.
¹ Newly developed pigment inks are included in 11 out of the 12 inks installed. Only matte black uses the same ink as imagePROGRAF GP-4000/2000.
