Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-2600 24" Professional Large Format Printer
The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-2600 24" professional large format printer is built for photographers, fine art studios, schools and in-house creative teams who need gallery-quality output up to 24" wide. This compact photo and fine art printer uses Canon’s latest LUCIA PRO II 11-color pigment ink system plus Chroma Optimizer to deliver a wide color gamut, rich blacks, smooth gradations and clean detail for demanding photo, fine art and high-end graphic applications.
With a maximum resolution of up to 2400 × 1200 dpi and a high-precision PF-10 print head featuring 18,432 nozzles and droplet sizes as small as 4 pl, the PRO-2600 is engineered for extremely sharp, accurate prints even at close viewing distances. A built-in multi-sensor color calibration system and intelligent media handling help maintain consistent, repeatable results from job to job, while the integrated 500 GB hard drive and 3 GB of RAM make it easier to process large, complex files without overloading the host computer.
Designed with durability and sustainability in mind, the PRO-2600 features high scratch resistance and improved lightfastness from the new ink set, along with environmental certifications including EPEAT Gold and ENERGY STAR® to help support your organization’s sustainability goals.
