Canon Announces Pixma Pro-1 Photo Printer

Canon has announed its latest photo printer during a media event in New York. The Pixma Pro-1, according to Canon, is the “world’s first A3+ printer with 12 separate inks.”

The printer comes with 12 ink cartridges: the Photo and Matte black inks, three gray inks of different shades, Cyan, Photo Cyan, Magenta, Photo Magenta, Yellow, and Red. Do not feel worried about having to replace cartridges very often, as the ink tanks are 2.5 times larger than from older Pixma models. It is also more advanced to the previous Pixmas because of its double the amount of input resolution at 1,200 dots per inch. The gadget also has a Chroma Optimizer, which adds richness to blacks and uniformity to glossiness; as well as Canon’s Easy-PhotoPrint Pro software, which works both as its own tool and a Photoshop plug-in.

The Canon Pixma Pro-1 features front-opening panels for quick access, a rear paper tray that can take up to 20 sheets of photo paper, and a manual feed slot for heavier papers up to 14 inches wide. It is now available for $999.
