The largest i'm aware of is the ip9900 which is an A3+ printer (13" x
19""

I'm only aware of their W series printers... between $2,000 and $20,000
IIRC. They don't take the bci-6 inks. I'm not aware of anything A1
sized (23.4 x 33.1)that'll fit on a desk. The W6400 24IN wide (canon
mistaken calls these large format) you can have for I believe under
$4000. The HP DJ 130 is well also 24 and costs about 1/4 the price.

my bad, I always want to type ip when talking about the canon desktop
printers

You ,mean they've taken all this time to get to where Epson where 5
years ago? ;-)

They've had pigmented inks on commercial printers for some time now. I
honestly don't know how well it works over a long period of time... i'm
told their pro wides are rooted in thermal bubblejet technology(I take
this with a grain of salt I honestly don't know). I don't see them
often as their price is pretty high. I wouldn't expect them to offer
pigments on their consumer line anytime soon.

I had no clue the w6400 was so cheap though.... still a pretty penny.
