Announced last month, Canon’s PRO-1100 inkjet printer is now available in Australia, RRP $2,049 inc gst.

The PRO-1100 inkjet printer features a new Lucia Pro II ink set containing 11 colours plus a ‘Chroma Optimiser’ overcoat, which has been developed to help improve the image quality from previous models while also enhancing resistance to light. Improved black density on art paper was achieved by changing the formulation and material of the matte black ink.

The reformulated Chroma Optimiser is designed to give the surface a clear coat of transparent ink that helps suppress bronzing and reduce uneven glossiness. Resistance to scratching is also improved and the glossy/semi-glossy printing surface is easier to handle in framing, packaging, transportation, display, and other work where the print could be easily damaged.
