imagePROGRAF GP-4600S

The imagePROGRAF GP-4600S is the 44-inch model in Canon's GP S production series, built around the newly developed 7-color LUCIA PRO II ink system. It ships with a full set of 330 ml tanks, prints from one front-loading roll, and takes the optional RU-43 Multifunction Roll Unit as a second roll or take-up reel when you need to run unattended. It is the right fit for a shop that wants production speed and PANTONE coverage without stepping up to 60-inch width.

LUCIA PRO II ink delivers more accurate color and improved black density than its predecessors, with a large gamut in dark areas, high scratch resistance, and light-resistant pigments for longer-lasting prints. The Orange and Matte Black inks carried over from the GP-4000 and GP-2000 sharpen vivid, eye-catching output, and the set reaches 96 percent of the PANTONE Formula Guide Solid and Coated. Built-in color calibration keeps output consistent over time and across multiple GP S Series printers.

Intelligent media handling feeds rolls automatically and detects media type, width, and length with less processing time than previous PRO S models. Translucent covers show ink tanks and loaded media, an interior LED lights the output while printing, ink tanks hot-swap, and the touchscreen shows ink and media levels on the home screen. Professional Print and Layout, Free Layout Plus, and Accounting Manager are included, and the printer is EPEAT Gold registered and ENERGY STAR certified.

The imagePROGRAF GP-4600S is a 44-inch production printer for sign shops and print providers turning out posters, point-of-purchase displays, and advertising at volume. Its seven-color LUCIA PRO II set, with orange and gray alongside photo and matte black, covers 96 percent of the PANTONE Formula Guide Solid and Coated, and the prints resist scratching and light, which helps graphics survive handling and long display. The L-COA PRO processor keeps big files moving, and all seven tanks arrive at 330 ml.

The key decision is rolls. One front-loading roll is standard; the RU-43 Multifunction Roll Unit, which adds a second roll or a take-up reel, is optional. The 60-inch GP-6600S includes that unit, so compare the two if unattended runs matter to your shop.
