Canon India has unveiled six innovative large-format printers. This includes a new 7-colour
category within the imagePROGRAF GP series (GP-526S/546S/566S), designed specifically
for the graphics art market. These printers utilize the new LUCIA PRO II pigment ink to
produce stunning, vibrant posters and photographs. Additionally, Canon has expanded its
12-colour category in the imagePROGRAF PRO series with three new models (PRO-
526/546/566), which offer exceptional print quality for photography and fine art applications,
with prints that can last up to 200 years.
Manabu Yamazaki, President and CEO, Canon India said, “With the professional printing
industry in India witnessing remarkable growth owing to technological innovations, our latest
launches are in response to the increasing demand for quality output. The newly launched
GP Series 7-Colour Large Format Printers and the expansion of our PRO Series 12-Colour
Printers underscore Canon’s commitment of consistently pioneering technology that caters
to evolved industry needs. These advancements aim to empower India's vibrant creative
community by providing tools that push the boundaries of digital imaging for professionals in
the graphics art, photography, and fine art sectors. By doing so, we endeavor to shape the
future landscape of printing in the country which has immense potential.”
Commenting on the new lineup, C Sukumaran, Senior Director, Products & Communication,
Canon India, explained, “The introduction of the 7-colour LUCIA PRO II pigment inks in our
new GP series represents a significant leap forward in color precision and print quality for
the graphic arts market. These printers are designed to produce high-quality photographic
content with enhanced color depth and fine textures. On the other hand, our PRO series
continues to excel in delivering unmatched color range and longevity, crucial for fine art and
professional photography. The innovative design features of both series, like the new
translucent covers and interior lighting, reflect our focus on enhancing user experience and
operational efficiency.”
The new GP and PRO series large format inkjet printers are packaged in cardboard instead
of Styrofoam to reduce environmental impact.

photographers, and graphic designers have access to cutting-edge technology that
enhances their creative potential. With these new printers, Canon reaffirms its position as a
