Canon has announced the launch of the imagePROGRAF GP-2600S large-format inkjet printer, expanding its GP S Series portfolio with a space-saving model engineered for fast production of vibrant posters, graphics, and in-store displays.
The new 24″ imagePROGRAF GP-2600S
Designed for in-house print operations and print-for-pay environments, the imagePROGRAF GP-2600S incorporates a seven-colour ink system that includes orange ink to help deliver an expanded color gamut and striking visual output. The printer is powered by LUCIA PRO II pigment ink technology, formulated to enhance image permanence while also helping to improve the durability of printed materials used in retail, hospitality, corporate, and event settings.
The imagePROGRAF GP-2600S is capable of reproducing up to 96% of Pantone Formula Guide Solid Coated, enabling accurate brand colour matching and bold poster reproduction. To further support production environments, the ink formulation includes crystalline wax to help improve resistance to abrasion on glossy and semi-glossy media and reduce the risk of surface scratches during finishing and handling.
To help maintain consistent image quality, the imagePROGRAF GP-2600S features an integrated color calibration system designed to help ensure stable and accurate color reproduction over time. In addition, an advanced ink monitoring system can detect changes in ink ejection performance and help maintain reliable print output. An intelligent media handling system identifies paper width and type and estimates remaining media levels to help streamline setup and support stable operation across varying skill levels.
The printer is also designed with efficiency in mind. High-capacity 700ml ink tanks and reduced ink consumption compared to earlier models are designed to help lower overall running costs. LED interior lighting allows users to check print progress during operation, while semi-translucent ink tank covers make it easy to visually confirm ink levels. As part of the company’s ongoing environmental initiatives, the imagePROGRAF GP-2600S packaging eliminates expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam materials. The device has also achieved EPEAT Gold designation, recognizing products that meet rigorous sustainability criteria established by the Green Electronics Council.
