- In January 2024, Canon introduced an improved series of its popular 12-color imagePROGRAF PRO large format printers. The new series is designed for the photography and fine art markets and includes three models: the 60”/1524mm imagePROGRAF PRO-6600, the 44”/1118mm PRO-4600, and the 24”/610mm PRO-2600, replacing the imagePROGRAF PRO-6100, PRO-4100, and PRO-2100, respectively. Along with a new pigment ink set, LUCIA PRO II, the new 12-color series offers the highest photo print quality of any imagePROGRAF printer. This launch addresses the demand for greater image durability and light resistance to improve long-term print storage while providing new environmental benefits. The imagePROGRAF PRO series is expected to be showcased at Drupa 2024 on the Canon stand in Hall 8A, B41-1 – B41-8.
- In December 2023, HP India launched a new range of 36-inch HP DesignJet printers designed to meet the printing needs of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals who work in a hybrid environment. These high-quality printers aim to provide a seamless printing experience, irrespective of location. Additionally, these devices will help copy shops better serve the needs of AEC customers.
