These models also achieve 99% coverage of “PANTONE FORMULA GUIDE Solid Coated” which is used in a wide range of applications such as printing and design.

Colour Calibration

The built-in Coluor Calibration function uses a multisensor to read colour density and automatically calibrate the printer, so that the last print looks the same as the first.

Intelligent Media Loading

The GP-4000 printer can load and recognize paper without the need for human intervention. Simply set the roll holder in the printer and let the media automatically feed into the printer. The built-in multi-sensor automatically detects the width, length, and type of the media.

Optional MultiFunction Roll

The optional Multifunction Roll System, which also utilizes Canon's new intelligent media handling, is a versatile media handling solution system that enables either a second roll of media to be loaded on the printer, or the unit can be configured as a bi-directional media Take-up unit.
Dual-Roll Feeding: The dual-roll feeding mechanism enables users to load a second roll of a different media type and size so that users can simultaneously switch from printing on matte to gloss paper without pausing their work to reload. Additionally, the second roll can be used to support high-volume printing be enabling two rolls of the same media to be fed to the printer.

Bi-Directional Rewinding: The Multifunction Roll System may also be configured by the operator as a take-up unit to rewind longer printouts. The user can choose to rewind media with the printed surface on the outside or the inside of the roll, thereby supporting “bi-directional rewinding”.

Operation Panel

Operation Panel

The GP-4000 features a 4.3" color touchscreen operation panel making it easy to view printer information as well as perform simple operations.

Print From USB Thumb Drive

PDF and JPEG files can be directly printed on the imagePROGRAF GP-4000 from a USB thumb drive. Simply input the thumb drive into the USB port on the printer, preview the image on the operation panel, and print! Fast and easy printing without the use of a computer.

500 GB Hard Drive

A built-in 500 GB hard drive within the printer can increase productivity by relieving workload from the host computer, while providing a large capacity for print job data storage and retrieval.

Wi-Fi Compatible

Wi-Fi Connection

Stay Connected. Wi-Fi connectivity is standard with the GP Series printers.

Sub-Ink Tank System

The Sub-Ink Tank System allows virtually all of the available ink in a tank to be used before having to replace it, helping to eliminate wasted ink. The empty tanks can also be replaced on-the-fly without stopping the printer. This is extremely useful during your long print jobs.

Security Features

Enhanced Security

Developed with advanced security features, including support of secure PIN printing to protect data and the ability to disable printing, increasing administrative control of end-user printing.

Print Head PF-06

PF-10 Print Head

The PF-10, a 1.28”-wide print head with 18,432 nozzles equipped with anti-clogging FINE technology, generates fast print speeds while reducing the possibility of clogging. Ink ejection conditions are precisely checked by 27 sensors, and if a clog is detected, another nozzle will provide back-up. Having only one print head means a more compact printer that achieves faster print speeds while maintaining high print quality.

Device Management Console

The Device Management Console software, ideal for fleet management, lets you perform colour calibrations remotely.

Costs can be assigned to ink and paper to determine expenses based on your own “Cost of Goods”. Each individual ink tank and each paper type can have its own cost associated to it. The user can also input a variable cost that will be added to the total of the print cost. The data is exportable to a .csv format for Microsoft Excel® so the data can be used for billing purposes. This feature will allow you to determine the cost of each print based on your actual cost.
