For photographers, the right printer can make the difference between a good image and an outstanding one. Canon's imagePROGRAF PRO and GP series stand out for large format photographic printing: the PRO series for the highest possible quality, and the GP series for vivid colour at a lower running cost. Here's how the six models compare, and which one suits your work.

Canon’s latest photo technology combines advanced pigment ink systems with intelligent print management, giving photographers full creative control without sacrificing speed or efficiency.
At the heart of the PRO series is the 12-colour LUCIA PRO II pigment ink system with Chroma Optimiser, delivering deeper blacks, smoother gradations and a wider colour gamut. The GP series uses an 11-colour LUCIA PRO pigment ink set that’s equally capable of vivid, accurate colour, making it ideal for photographers who value both quality and operational efficiency.
Both series offer improved scratch resistance, enhanced light fastness for long-lasting prints, and intuitive workflow features that make sure your images look exactly as intended at any scale.
Together, these let photographers focus on their creative work rather than the technicalities of printing.
The PRO series is designed from the ground up for photographers who need the highest possible output quality. The GP series offers an alternative with fewer inks, lower consumable use and faster output.
A compact yet powerful option for studios and creative professionals with limited space. It’s ideal for A1-sized prints, proofs and gallery-ready artwork.
A versatile mid-range model with dual roll capability, making it perfect for continuous production in commercial studios, galleries and universities.
The flagship model for photographers producing oversized work, panoramic photography or large-scale fine art installations.
The GP series excels at prints that bring images to life, thanks to advanced colour management and exceptional resolution. The GP-2000 is an alternative to the 12-ink PRO models, using an 11-colour pigment ink system that includes fluorescent pink for outstanding colour accuracy and tonal consistency.
With all the same great features but fewer inks, the 7-colour GP-2600S has a surprisingly wide colour gamut, economical ink use per page and faster output – which makes its quality-to-cost balance extremely attractive.
The 44-inch version of the GP-2600S, with the same 7-colour ink set, wide colour gamut and economical, faster output for larger exhibition and advertising prints.
Plot-It tip: if you mostly print in one size, buy for that size rather than the biggest model. A 24-inch PRO-2600 or GP-2000 handles A1 prints, proofs and portfolios, and takes up far less studio space than a 44-inch or 60-inch machine.
For most professional photographers and fine art studios, the PRO series is the one to buy – the 12-colour ink set makes a visible difference in blacks, gradations and gamut, and the PRO-2600 is a very capable starting point.
If you’re producing exhibition, advertising or portfolio prints in volume, the GP series is the smarter choice. The 7-colour GP-2600S and GP-4600S in particular give a surprisingly wide gamut at a noticeably lower cost per print.
