Canon PRO-1100 Overview

By B&H Photo's

Marked with the distinctive red line normally found on their professional lenses, the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100 Professional 17" Wireless Inkjet Photo Printer from Canon produces wide format print sizes with deep blacks, detailed gradations, and a wide color gamut that accurately reproduces even the most difficult colors. This printer utilizes FINE (Full-Photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) technology, and the 11-color LUCIA PRO II pigment-based ink set creates prints with improved gloss uniformity and anti-bronzing. The Chroma Optimizer enhances glossiness, flattens the print surface, and expands the color range. The PRO-1100 produces prints up to 17" wide, prints borderless up to 17 x 22", is compatible with media up to 0.7mm thick, and supports a maximum printable paper length of 129".

Equipped with the L-COA PRO Image Processing Engine, the PRO-1100 quickly and accurately determines printing paths and patterns to create an efficient workflow. Bordered 17 x 22" photos are created in just four minutes and Canon's Air Feed System helps prevent paper from being deflected, so ink falls accurately and in the right place. Also, to expand on the capabilities of the LUCIA PRO II ink set, it uses highly light-resistant inks for long-term preservation of printed images, plus improved scratch resistance, improved black density, and improved reproduction in blue-dark areas.

A 3.0" color LCD on the front of the unit offers an easy view of the settings for making adjustments. Connectivity options include USB 2.0, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). Wireless printing adds compatibility with Canon's PRINT app, Apple AirPrint, and Mopria for iOS and Android devices.

Anti-Clogging Technology and Compensation Function
Anti-Clogging Technology is controlled using a fine print head that controls precise ink ejection. Ink nozzle conditions are precisely checked with sensors and when a blockage is detected, another nozzle automatically provides backup. In addition to preventing printing failures due to banding, this also reduces the frequency at which head cleaning is required.
Air Feeding System
The Air Feeding System prevents paper from skewing for accurate ink placement. It prevents the sheet in use from being deflected in such a way that the ink falls accurately and in the right place. This uniform level surface allows incredible ink drop accuracy and better image quality.
Wide Color Gamut for Exceptional Image Clarity
The LUCIA PRO II ink system helps you achieve improvements in color-reproduction, image clarity, and enhanced darker areas. It faithfully reproduces colors and dark areas crucial for printing works of art.
Integration of EOS & imagePROGRAF PRO Series
Canon's total technological capabilities provide high-quality photo output.
11 Pigment-Based Ink System Plus Chroma Optimizer
The 11 pigment-based ink system provides a broad color gamut and improved gloss uniformity for superb glossiness and anti-bronzing. The included Chroma Optimizer ink enhances glossiness, flattens the print surface, and expands color range.
Enhanced Color Reproduction
There is enhanced color reproduction in dark areas with deep, detailed expression (art paper/glossy paper).
L-COA PRO Image Processing Engine
Process massive volumes of image data quickly with the L-COA PRO image processing engine.
Professional Print & Layout Software
This powerful software provides professional photographers with intuitive printing solutions. This standalone application can also be used as a plug-in from Digital Photo Professional or Adobe software to support seamless output.
Printer Management Solutions
Every detail in your print must be perfect. Why not have the same obsession for your workflow? The PRO-1100 is precisely managed with powerful management tools such as the Media Configuration, Color Calibration, and Accounting Manager tools.
LUCIA PRO II Ink
LUCIA PRO II pigment ink system inherits LUCIA PRO's high image quality and further enhances image robustness and photo art quality.
Improved Print Longevity
Newly developed pigment ink "LUCIA PRO II" uses high light-resistant inks for long-term preservation of printed images.
Improved Scratch Resistance
New Highly Crystalline Wax reduces abrasiveness without losing image quality and makes handling artwork less worrisome.
Improvement of Black Density
The new matte-black ink formula improves black density and achieves deeper black expression.
Greater Dark Blue Representation
The new color design has improved reproducibility in blue-dark areas for a wider gamut of colors.
Wide Color Gamut
A wider array of colors helps produce a wider color gamut, achieving improved color reproduction and image clarity as well as enhanced darker areas.
Consistent Reflection of Light with Chroma Optimizer
Printing on gloss paper using pigment ink sometimes results in uneven glossiness and bronzing due to the light dispersion caused by the varying height of the adhering ink. Chroma Optimizer solves this problem by evenly coating the surface of the print
Accounting Manager
Account for every sheet of paper and the amount of ink that was used. Accounting Manager allows you to accurately assign and track the costs of every single job.

Will this print from a roll or just individual sheets?
Asked by: John
The answer is a definite no, kinda. It has no roll holder, and it has no roll cutter, two things you want to use rolls. You can kluge something up like a paper towel holder to hold a predetermined & cut length of a roll but experimentation with expensive media is ... expensive. If you look on Youtube you can see that British photographer "Keith Cooper" has numerous presentations answering all sorts of questions on this machine and it's cousins, and an associated long form detailed written review on his Northlight Images website.

difference between pro-1000 and pro-1100?
Asked by: Marjorie
There is not much practical difference, the exterior case is the same except for the color. The inks are a new product, but you would not notice a difference. It's a subtle change not a radical change. See Keith Cooper on Youtube talk at length about this printer compared to others.
