The Canon GP-2600S is a 24″ large-format printer built for retail chains, franchised stores, and print service providers who need precise color accuracy and production-ready reliability. It’s part of Canon’s new GP S Series, powered by a 7-color LUCIA PRO II pigment ink system that includes Orange and Gray for an expanded color gamut. Buffalo Imaging serves professional print shops and studios with the equipment and supplies they need to keep production moving.
7-Color LUCIA PRO II Ink System
Five of the printer’s seven inks are newly developed, with the matte black and orange inks shared with the Canon GP-2000 and GP-4000. The added Orange ink expands the color gamut for striking reds and oranges, while enhanced black density brings more depth to photographs and posters. The GP-2600S reproduces up to 96% of the PANTONE Formula Guide Solid Coated, making it well suited for corporate color matching and brand-accurate signage.
Built to Last
The LUCIA PRO II ink formulation is rated for up to 200 years of light resistance, with high scratch resistance that helps prints hold up during transport, handling, and mounting. This makes the GP-2600S suitable for both fine art and photography output as well as long-term retail and event signage.
Intelligent Media Handling
A Smart Roll Paper Set automatically detects media type, width, and remaining length, with touch-free loading that protects print surfaces from damage. An LED interior light lets you preview jobs mid-print, and semi-translucent ink tank covers make it easy to monitor supply levels. Canon’s advanced ink sensing technology automatically adjusts ink ejection to prevent banding and color shifts during long production runs.
Built for Production Workflows
A 500GB internal hard drive and 3GB of memory let the printer store and reprint jobs directly without tying up a host computer. Posters can be produced in as fast as 29 seconds on plain paper and under 2 minutes on coated or glossy media, with automatic media handling that reduces downtime between jobs.
Connectivity and Compatibility
The printer connects via USB, Gigabit Ethernet, or Wi-Fi, with Apple AirPrint support and a USB port for direct printing from external media. It’s compatible with both Mac and Windows workflows. The GP-2600S uses the same PF-10 print head as the Canon GP-2000, GP-4000, and the imagePROGRAF PRO Series, and shares two of its seven ink colors (matte black and orange) with the GP-2000 and GP-4000.

What is the Canon imagePROGRAF GP-2600S used for?
The GP-2600S is a 24″ large-format printer built for retail chains, franchised stores, and print service providers that need precise, brand-accurate color at production scale. It’s commonly used for retail signage, corporate graphics, and premium poster production.
What is the best Canon printer for accurate PANTONE color matching?
The GP-2600S is built specifically for that use case, reproducing up to 96% of the PANTONE Formula Guide Solid Coated using its 7-color LUCIA PRO II ink system with added Orange ink. For brand-accurate corporate colors and retail signage, it’s one of the more purpose-built options in Canon’s current lineup.
What ink system does the GP-2600S use?
It uses Canon’s 7-color LUCIA PRO II pigment ink system: Matte Black, Photo Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Gray, and Orange. Five of the seven inks are newly developed, while the matte black and orange are shared with the Canon GP-2000 and GP-4000.
What’s the difference between the GP-2600S and the GP-2000?
The GP-2600S uses a different 7-color LUCIA PRO II ink system focused on PANTONE color accuracy, while the GP-2000 uses a 10-color plus Fluorescent Pink system built for maximum color vibrancy and neon tones. Both share the same PF-10 print head and two of their ink colors, but they’re built for different priorities: color precision versus color vibrancy.
Does the GP-2600S support dual-roll printing?
Yes, with an optional roll unit that ships as a separate component. It’s available bundled as a “w/MFR” configuration for Multifunction Roll capability, or you can start with the base single-roll configuration and add it later.
How durable are prints from the GP-2600S?
The LUCIA PRO II ink formulation is rated for up to 200 years of light resistance, with high scratch resistance built in. This makes prints suitable for both long-term display and handling during transport, framing, or mounting.
Is the Canon GP-2600S the best printer for retail chain signage production?
It’s purpose-built for that use case: PANTONE-accurate color, a 500GB internal hard drive for storing and reprinting jobs, and fast print speeds as low as 29 seconds on plain paper. Whether it’s the best fit depends on your specific color and volume needs, but it’s designed specifically for consistent, repeatable retail and corporate graphics production.
What print head does the GP-2600S use?
It uses the PF-10 print head, the same one used by the Canon GP-2000, GP-4000, GP-4600S, GP-6600S, and the imagePROGRAF PRO Series (PRO-2600, PRO-2100, PRO-4600, PRO-4100).
What connectivity options does the GP-2600S have?
USB, Gigabit Ethernet, and Wi-Fi are all built in, along with Apple AirPrint support and a USB port for direct printing from external media. It works with both Mac and Windows workflows.
How fast can the GP-2600S produce a print?
Posters can be produced in as fast as 29 seconds on plain paper, and under 2 minutes on coated or glossy media, with automatic media handling that reduces downtime between jobs.
