David Noton EXPERIENCE DAY!

Canon is the only camera brand that offers products covering input through to output. At the input end we have the world-renowned EOS and PowerShot cameras while for output there are XEED projectors and PIXMA printers. The PIXMA PRO-1 is a flagship A3+ printer that can produce professional colour and monochrome prints using a 12-ink system and a photo lab quality printing head with four picolitre ink droplet technology for top quality precision prints. Using Canon media Chroma Optimizer gives a uniform, high-quality gloss, but the PIXMA PRO-1 will happily produce prints on lustre, matte and art finishes too. For £645 the PIXMA PRO-1 is exceptional value for the discerning photographer keen to control their own output.
