The Amazing Printer

Just an amazing piece of equipment. It was amazingly easy to set up. I ran my first customer prints the same day I received it and the quality if the prints are absolutely gorgeous. I use almost all Canon products and couldn't be happier.

Worth the wait for this amazing printer?Canon gets it right.

This printer was sooo worth the wait, due to supply chain delays from Japan. It replaced a workhorse IPF8000 and the improvements are vast. So glad I stuck to Canon, as I hear more and more Epson 44? horror stories.

Excellent Fine Art Printer

I bought this printer a year ago & so glad I did... This was a scary big purchase for me not knowing how the quality would be or if it would even fit through the doorway... which it did & I'm so grateful, but here are my notes about this product... Setup: It was too big & too heavy for me/one person to manage unpacking & setup when it arrived, so I enlisted some help, but so worth the extra effort. Once you have your helpers get it on the stand with wheels (stand comes with), put it where you need it & get to work. The printing software it easy to figure out & works nicely, but doesn't save where you leave off, though its free software, so gets you by. Printing: Doesn't jam (ever), ink lasts long time, doesn't waste ink, no warning for end of paper roll, so gotta be careful if end of paper/canvas is taped to the roll, tape goes right into the printer before it recognizes end of roll (minor issue). Mostly love that I can print on demand. Ink color is brilliant on canvas, looks just like original art. Works really well via WIFI, love this feature. I bought a clear shower curtain liner as a dust cover when I'm not using it, which I strongly recommend. Would definitely recommend to a friend. Thanks Canon!

Great Quality

I bought this printer on December, out of the box came defective, thanks to Canon tech support a tech was send out and one sensor for the ink was replaced. With no to much print I already had to replaced the maintenance cartridge. Until today I been enable to print borderless, always a 2mm margin on the left side, tried everything, the manual was followed, spoke with customer support twice and nothing. I love the printer but I am missing the borderless feature. Thank You Canon

The Amazing Printer

By MARK B.

Just an amazing piece of equipment. It was amazingly easy to set up. I ran my first customer prints the same day I received it and the quality if the prints are absolutely gorgeous. I use almost all Canon products and couldn't be happier.

It's time to elevate your printing experience with the imagePROGRAF PRO-4100 44" Large Format Inkjet Printer. This high-performance printer is engineered to deliver superior image quality and color consistency, making it an ideal choice for professional photographers, artists, and businesses alike.

The imagePROGRAF PRO-4100 is equipped with a 1.28-inch wide, 12-channel integrated compact print head, which in conjunction with the LUCIA PRO ink set and Chroma Optimizer, ensures exceptional print quality and speed. The printer's high-precision mechanical platform and the L-COA PRO high-speed image processing engine further enhance its performance, providing a perfect balance between speed and quality.

This printer is designed with intelligent technology for advanced media handling. For the first time in an imagePROGRAF printer, you can load and recognize paper without manual intervention. The built-in multi-sensor measures the surface reflection and media thickness to determine the media type automatically.

The imagePROGRAF PRO-4100 also features an innovative Remaining Media Estimation function, which accurately measures the remaining media on a roll without the need for a bar code, saving both ink and media.

The printer's user-friendly design includes a large 4.3" LCD operation panel that utilizes smartphone touch screen technology for easy operation. The three most-used commands: Load, Feed, and Cut, have their own dedicated buttons for added convenience.

With enhanced security features, including secure PIN printing and the ability to disable printing, the imagePROGRAF PRO-4100 offers increased administrative control of end-user printing.

The LUCIA PRO ink set adopts 11-color pigment inks and a Chroma Optimizer, designed specifically to meet the demands of even the most critical photographer. This ink set enhances gloss uniformity, improves scratch resistance, enhances dark area reproduction, and reduces graininess, enabling stunning color reproduction, image clarity, and enhanced darker areas.

The PRO Series is designed to work seamlessly when changing media types. Matte black and Photo black inks have their own dedicated nozzles, so no manual switching between ink tanks is necessary. This means you can print on fine art paper then glossy paper with no worries, no changes, and no waste.

The imagePROGRAF PRO-4100 is powered by the L-COA PRO high-speed image processing engine. With three processing chips, this high-precision control engine performs the processing of massive image data, and controls the optimal ink layout that produces high-resolution prints.

The printer also includes an upgraded, built-in color densitometer that offers precise calibration and color matching. Using a three-color LED and condenser lens, the sensor enables accurate recalibration of the device, allowing you to maintain a low average printer-to-printer color difference.

Stay connected with the standard Wi-Fi connectivity feature of the PRO Series printers. You can also print PDF and JPEG files directly from a USB thumb drive. Simply input the thumb drive into the USB port on the printer, preview the image on the operation panel, and print!

The imagePROGRAF PRO-4100 features a multipositional basket that can be freely adjusted to enable various output positions and options. It also comes with a built-in 500 GB hard drive, which increases productivity by relieving workload from the host Mac or PC, while providing a large capacity for print job data storage and retrieval.

In conclusion, the imagePROGRAF PRO-4100 44" Large Format Inkjet Printer is a powerful, versatile, and user-friendly printing solution that delivers exceptional print quality and color consistency.
