models) to produces smoother gradations with less grain.
Other features include
Chroma Optimizer for uniform glossiness and crisp, sharp blacks; new tubular
ink supply system for high speed and high capacity ink tanks; Adobe Photoshop
compatibility with Canon's Easy-PhotoPrint Pro plug-in software for efficient printing
workflow; ethernet connectivity; and more.
The Canon Pixma Pro-1
is expected to retail for $1,499 and will be available from Canon retailers
nationally from early November.
