The imagePROGRAF PRO-2000 media handling features front-loading and front output for roll and cut sheet media and can accept a width of 203.2 – 610mmm and thickness of 0.07 – 0.8mm. The maximum printable length for roll paper is 18 meters, and 1.6 meters for cut sheet.

The 11 ink colours and Chroma Optimizer are available in 160ml, 330ml, and 700ml hot swap ink tanks for uninterrupted printing. The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-2000 has an easy-to-use, 3.5 colour LCD touch screen operation panel which provides clear menu-driven controls for all functions and informs users of the media being used and the remaining print levels, for assured, non-stop productivity. The ergonomic design of the PRO-2000 provides a flat top surface for print checking.

The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-2000 has a number of built-in technologies to enable effortless printing of high quality images which ultimately conserves ink and media. The robust chassis of the imagePROGRAF PRO-2000 reduces vibrations, which improves the accuracy of the ink droplet placement. The Auto Skew Correction function guarantees that all types of paper, including thick paper, can be printed without misalignment and enables unattended printing by automatically adjusting for any skew in orientation and feeds the paper/media correctly. The vacuum feeding system keeps paper flat regardless of paper weight and type during printing, which helps ensure accurate placement of ink droplets on paper. The PRO-2000 features a standby mode, which will periodically agitate the ink tanks and warms up the print head, keeping ink from drying up inside and clogging nozzles. In the event that a nozzle gets clogged, Canon has a non-firing nozzle detection and compensation system, which turns on back -up nozzles to prevent drop-outs during a print, ensuring highest quality prints every time.

The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-2000 guarantees colour consistency between jobs and different production sites. The PRO-2000 features a built-in colour density sensor to optimise output, adjusting the ink levels depending on the media being used, and ensuring consistent and accurate colour reproduction. The PRO-2000’s versatile software connectivity handles a single-user to a multi-location business, design firm, or print service provider. In addition to the Canon Print Studio Pro Plug-in software for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Canon Digital Photo Pro, the PRO-2000 includes the Device Management Console, an administration tool which allows a lab manager or administrator to organise and control multiple PRO-2000s in multiple locations, even remotely in other parts of the world. Monitor ink levels, paper levels, or adjust various device settings all from a single computer. Use the Device Management Console to calibrate and set up two printers to the exact same specifications, profiles and calibrations, so you can print precisely the same-looking print in two different locations. The PRO-2000 includes new Accounting Manager software, available for the Mac and PC, which helps organise pricing and supply for ink and paper per a specific print job, great for any educational lab setting or for customer billing per print job.

The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-2000 is bundled with Canon’s Print Plug-In for Microsoft Office and PosterArtist Lite software. PosterArtist Lite is ideal for users unfamiliar with design can create professional-looking posters, display items, presentation charts and other large format documents.

An optional accessory for the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-2000 is the dual roll unit, which supports continuous paper feeding and auto-switching, or automatic take-up of printer output. The Media Take-up roll unit includes a dual direction roll take up unit allowing the print surface to be wound inside or outside of the roll.
