February 3, 2025
Canon U.S.A., Inc. announced the launch of the imagePROGRAF PRO-310 professional inkjet printer, a 13-inch device for professional and prosumer photographers, students, and others looking for a home printer that can generate excellent colour reproduction while possessing longevity and durability.
The imagePROGRAF PRO-310, designed to provide superior light resistance for long-term preservation of high-quality printed works, adopts the newly developed pigment ink, “LUCIA PRO II”1 – featuring 10 colours.
The newly developed LUCIA PRO II1 pigment ink system is designed to help improve the image quality from previous models while also enhancing resistance to light. Improved black density on art paper was achieved by changing the formulation and material of matte black ink. The reformulated Chroma Optimiser is designed to give the surface a clear coat of transparent ink that helps suppress bronze phenomena and helps reduce uneven glossiness.
“The PRO-310 is designed to assist our customers achieve vivid colours while offering easy and efficient output, and we are excited to deliver the ability for users to make professional-looking prints and layouts to help meet their dynamic needs and continue to deliver exceptional results.” said Shuji “Steve” Suda, Vice President of Canon U.S.A., Inc.
The pigment ink, “LUCIA PRO II,” adds wax to ink to help provide scratch resistance, designed to make it easier to handle in framing, packaging, transportation, display, and other situations where the print could be easily damaged, while allowing for long-term appreciation and preservation.
For efficiency, a nozzle recovery system works to help ensure that is a clog is detected in one nozzle, other will automatically compensate, contributing to the reduction in the frequency of head cleanings while working to prevent print waste due to banding.
A built-in skew correction mechanism straightens paper fed diagonally from the top tray or manual feed tray, working to reducing printing errors by stabilizing output for thick paper and other paper types.
Canon announced the imagePROGRAF PRO-310 has registered for EPEAT Gold designation as a product, which, if awarded, would show that it has met EPEAT’s most demanding set of criteria for sustainability leadership in electronics. The new model contributes to Canon’s commitment to sustainability by eliminating the use of polystyrene foam in product packing in favor of recyclable corrugated cardboard.
