The Canon imagePROGRAF Pro-2000
BEHOLD THE POWER
First and foremost we’d like to introduce you to the machine we use to produce your fine art prints! We operate a Canon imagePROGRAF Pro-2000. This is an inkjet printer with a wide gamut capable of producing vibrant colors on a variety of media. Our max print width is a borderless 24” and for length, pretty much as long as you’d like. We print almost exclusively on rolls of paper which helps us to stay economical and versatile in fulfilling almost any size option.

So we said this machine is an “injket” printer. You might be wondering what the heck that means. Printing is an additive process using the CMYK colorspace. C=cyan M=magenta Y=yellow and K=black. Our inkjet machine uses pigment ink from CYMK (and more!) and sprays this ink on to the loaded media. What’s awesome about our machine is it uses several additional ink colors beyond the standard CMYK. This allows us to print a wide gamut of colors so we can make a reproduction of your work as close as possible to the original creation.
Colors colors, all the colors!
In addition to printing with a huge variety of colors, we also offer a multitude of papers to print to. You ask, and we will hunt it down for you. Need top of the line rag for your giclée prints? No problem. Ordering prints for the first time and are on a tight budget? We have plenty of high quality material to produce with.

We hope this has been an informative look into the primary art printing machine we work with on a daily basis. As always, if you have any questions, please reach out (link to contact form)! We’d love to have a conversation and equip you with any information we can offer. Come back next month for our dive into what the heck makes a print “giclée” anyway? Spoilers, it’s pretty simple these days. Talk to you soon!
