The Canon PRO-6600 is a 60″ professional large-format printer built for photographers, fine art printers, and print service providers who need archival-quality color at production scale. Its 12-color LUCIA PRO II pigment ink system, paired with a Chroma Optimizer, produces a wide color gamut, smooth tonal gradations, and deep, neutral black-and-white output. Buffalo Imaging serves professional print shops and studios with the equipment and supplies they need to keep production moving.
LUCIA PRO II Ink System
Eleven of the printer’s twelve inks are newly formulated for improved color reproduction and black density compared to earlier LUCIA PRO ink sets. The Chroma Optimizer lays down a clear coat across the print surface, which improves gloss uniformity and suppresses bronzing on glossy and satin media. A crystalline wax additive in the ink also improves scratch resistance during handling, framing, and shipping. The PRO-6600 ships with 330ml starter tanks to match its higher-volume production capacity.
Standard Dual-Roll Media Handling
Unlike the smaller PRO-2600 and PRO-4600, the PRO-6600 ships with a Multifunction Roll Unit included as standard equipment, giving it native front-loading dual-roll capability out of the box. Switch between two media types on the fly or configure the second roll as a bi-directional take-up unit for continuous printing, without needing to purchase an add-on. The printer also automatically detects media type, width, and length, and performs auto print head alignment without manual calibration steps.
Built for Production Workflows
Semi-translucent covers and interior LED lighting make it easy to check ink levels and loaded media at a glance. A built-in multi-sensor helps maintain color consistency print to print, and the included Device Management Console software can calibrate and monitor up to 50 networked PRO Series printers from one dashboard. A 500GB internal hard disk and 3GB of RAM keep complex, high-resolution jobs processing smoothly without bottlenecking your workstation.
Connectivity and Compatibility
The printer connects via USB, Gigabit Ethernet, or Wi-Fi, with a built-in USB port for direct printing from external media. It’s compatible with both Mac and Windows workflows and supports Canon’s Professional Print & Layout, PosterArtist, Free Layout Plus, Direct Print Plus, and Accounting Manager software.

What is the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-6600 used for?
The PRO-6600 is a 60″ large-format printer built for professional photography and fine art reproduction at production scale. It’s commonly used by photographers, print studios, and print service providers who need archival-quality color output for large exhibition prints, murals, and high-volume commercial work.
What is the best Canon printer for high-volume fine art production?
For 60″ fine art and photo printing, the imagePROGRAF PRO-6600 is Canon’s largest current PRO Series option, and it’s the only one in the line that ships with dual-roll media handling built in rather than as an add-on. Its 12-color LUCIA PRO II ink system with Chroma Optimizer is built for the color accuracy, black density, and archival lightfastness large-scale fine art production requires.
What ink system does the PRO-6600 use?
It uses Canon’s LUCIA PRO II 12-color pigment ink system: 11 individual colors plus a Chroma Optimizer that lays down a clear coat to improve gloss uniformity and reduce bronzing on glossy and satin media. The PRO-6600 ships with 330ml starter tanks to match its production-scale output.
What’s the difference between the Canon PRO-6600 and PRO-6100?
The PRO-6600 succeeds the PRO-6000/6100 series with a reformulated LUCIA PRO II ink set, improved black density, higher scratch resistance, color calibration technology, and updated media handling. It’s registered EPEAT Gold, the first printer in the imagePROGRAF PRO Series to earn that certification.
Does the PRO-6600 support two rolls of paper at the same time?
Yes, and unlike the smaller PRO-2600 and PRO-4600, this comes standard rather than as an optional purchase. The PRO-6600 ships with a Multifunction Roll Unit included, giving it native front-loading dual-roll capability out of the box for switching media types or continuous take-up printing.
What media types and paper sizes does the PRO-6600 support?
The printer handles roll and cut-sheet media from 6″ to 60″ wide, including canvas, luster, photo rag, fine art white, and fine art etching papers, with a maximum roll diameter of 6.7″ and an automatic rotary cutter built in.
Is the Canon PRO-6600 the best 60-inch printer for professional print shops?
It’s purpose-built for that scale: 12-color pigment ink, standard dual-roll handling, a 500GB internal hard drive for processing large jobs, and a built-in color sensor for consistency across multiple networked units. Whether it’s the best fit depends on your production volume and paper types, but it’s Canon’s flagship option at 60″ for professional photo and fine art output.
How do you replace the ink tanks or print head?
Both are user-replaceable. Ink tanks (PFI-3100/PFI-2100MBK in 160ml, PFI-3300/PFI-2300MBK in 330ml, or PFI-3700/PFI-2700MBK in 700ml for high-volume printing) slide into labeled slots behind the front cover, and the PF-10 print head is accessed through the printer’s built-in maintenance menu, which walks you through alignment after installation.
What connectivity options does the PRO-6600 have?
USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, and Wi-Fi are all built in, along with a front-facing USB port for direct printing from external storage. It works with both Mac and Windows and supports Canon’s Professional Print & Layout and PosterArtist software.
What is the best ink system for archival photo prints at large scale?
Pigment-based inks like the PRO-6600’s LUCIA PRO II system are the standard for archival work, since they resist fading and scratching far better than dye inks. The added Chroma Optimizer layer also improves gloss uniformity, which matters even more at large print sizes where inconsistencies are easier to spot.
