The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-4600 is the 44-inch large-format printer that professional photographers, fine art studios, and high-volume print shops have been waiting for. Built around Canon's redesigned LUCIA PRO II ink system, it delivers a noticeable leap in output quality over its predecessor — deeper blacks, a wider dark-color gamut, and prints with enough scratch resistance to go straight from the machine to the client's hands without babying them.
Color is where the PRO-4600 really earns its reputation. The 12-color pigment system — 11 newly formulated inks plus a Chroma Optimizer — eliminates the bronzing and gloss differential that plague lesser printers on glossy and satin papers, producing smooth, gallery-ready results across the full tonal range. The PF-10 print head drives that color through 18,432 nozzles at 2400 x 1200 dpi, with 4pl droplets small enough to render the kind of subtle gradations that separate a great fine art print from a good one.
On the production side, intelligent media handling takes the friction out of the workflow — automated feeding, automatic width and length detection, and self-aligning print heads mean less setup time and less wasted media. An optional dual roll unit lets you keep two media types loaded and switch between them without stopping the job. Built-in color calibration keeps output consistent from one session to the next, and from one PRO Series machine to another. EPEAT Gold and ENERGY STAR certified.
