Wide Format Printing 101: What Canon imagePROGRAF Can Do for Your Business

From CAD line drawings to gallery-quality photo prints, wide format printing covers more ground than most businesses realize. Here’s what it is, who actually needs one in-house, and how Canon’s imagePROGRAF lineup covers it all.

If your business only prints letter and legal-size documents, “wide format” probably isn’t on your radar. But for a lot of businesses in Central Indiana — architecture and engineering firms, GIS and surveying teams, sign and print shops, photographers, and marketing departments — it’s a regular part of the job. And more often than most people expect, it makes sense to bring that printing in-house instead of running to a print shop and waiting on a job.

Canon’s imagePROGRAF lineup is built for exactly that. It’s a wide format printer line that splits into two clear families depending on what you’re actually printing, and Canyon Falls sells, installs, and services both right here in Indianapolis.

Two Families of imagePROGRAF

Almost every wide format need falls into one of two categories — and Canon builds a dedicated line for each:

Technical & CAD

Built for architects, engineers, and GIS professionals who need crisp, accurate line work and fast turnaround on drawings, blueprints, and maps — not photo-quality color.

Photo & Fine Art

Built for photographers, designers, and print shops producing gallery-quality color prints, proofs, and archival fine art output.

Current imagePROGRAF Models at Canyon Falls

Here’s a look at some of the models we sell and service, spanning both families — from compact desktop units to Canon’s largest current photo printer.

What to Consider When Choosing a Wide Format Printer

  • Roll width. imagePROGRAF models range from 24″ desktop units up to 60″ — the right width depends on your largest common output size, whether that’s a D-size drawing or a full poster print.
  • Ink system. Technical models use pigment ink built for crisp line work and fast dry time. Photo & Fine Art models use an 11-color pigment system with Chroma Optimizer for gallery-grade color and archival light resistance.
  • Scanning needs. Several technical models offer an MFP configuration with a built-in scanner for scan-to-copy, scan-to-file, or scan-to-email — handy if you’re digitizing existing drawings alongside new output.
  • Print volume and speed. A busy architecture firm printing dozens of D-size drawings a day needs different throughput than a design studio running the occasional proof.
