Canon imagePROGRAF iPF5100
Where Precision Color Meets Professional Versatility
The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF5100 is engineered for photographers, designers, and print professionals who demand flawless color reproduction, museum-quality fine art output, and production-grade speed — all in a compact, 17″ wide-format printer. With a 12-color LUCIA™ pigment ink system, dual print heads, and Canon’s advanced L-COA controller, the iPF5100 produces stunning output with remarkable detail and consistency across every job.

Photographic and Fine Art Brilliance
Designed to exceed the rigorous standards of photo labs and fine art studios, the iPF5100’s 12-color ink set includes four monochromatic inks for smoother gradations, deeper shadows, and accurate grayscale tones. The inclusion of Red, Green, and Blue further expands the color gamut, capturing subtleties that standard CMYK-based systems simply miss. From portraits and landscapes to gallery-grade giclée reproductions, the iPF5100 delivers results worthy of the most discerning eye.

Built-In Calibration and Intelligent Color Control
Forget the lengthy and complex calibration routines of traditional systems. The iPF5100 features automatic built-in calibration that realigns print output with media settings in minutes — helping you achieve predictable color reproduction with every job, every time. Canon’s Kyuanos color management system further adapts output for varying ambient lighting conditions, ensuring consistency whether viewed under sunlight, fluorescent, or incandescent lighting.
