Pigment Ink Archival Desktop Printers

Wide format printers use pigment ink for its longevity and resistance to sunlight. GMS stocks A4 and A3+ devices from Canon and Epson that give similar performance characteristics in more manageable sizes. 

Even owners of wide format printers should have a desktop machine at their disposal as smaller sheets and cards cannot be printed in larger devices. 

Of special interest is the Canon PIXMA PRO 9500 Mark II. This machine like its imagePROGRAF brothers does not need to change black inks and  is by far the leader in 13 inch wide inkjet technology.

GMS also stocks Epson R800, R1900 and R2880.

 



Canon PIXMA Pro 9500 Mark II

Pure professional performance. Archival quality photos in black and white or colour.

The Pro 9500 Mark II has been designed with the DNA of Canon EOS cameras and is built for supreme durability and reliability. The Pro9500 Mark II uses pigment-based inks for all 10 colours, which is a first in the PIXMA series. This improves photo expressiveness using colour space expansion and supports professional monochrome printing. The Pro 9500 Mark II features FINE print-head technology that allows precise ejection of microscopic ink droplets as small as 3pl for all colours. Combined with high resolution of 4800 x 2400 dpi, FINE produces photo quality which are sharp and grain free. The Pro 9500 Mark II is the perfect printing solution for professionals who demand archival quality photos up to A3+ in black and white or colour.

Key Features

  • Ambient Light Correction - ensures the quality of a print image viewed in a working environment as well as when it is exhibited

  • Monochrome Print Quality
    - 3 full-time monochrome ink tanks (Photo Black, Matte Black and Grey). No need to swap ink tanks

    - The Matte Black ink provides high density true black renditions on fine art papers; the Photo Black ink provides high contrast and the grey ink reduces graininess and lines and stabilises the grey balance in the print.

    - 3 times quicker in greyscale than previous model

    • Easy-PhotoPrint Pro Software (version 2)
    - Simple plug-in connection from Digital Photo Professional (DPP),
    Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3/CS4 and Adobe PhotoShop Elements 6
