The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF605 & iPF610 are 24-inch large format printers
that produce stunning,
color, full-bleed posters, line drawings and documents quickly and easily. Their
24" output will impress clients and colleagues by communicating visual
layouts with exact lines bold text and dynamic color. These innovative devices
employ a new 5-color dye/pigment reactive ink meaning text is sharper, line
drawings are clearer and posters are more dynamic. The imagePROGRAF iPF605 &
iPF610 feature a color system consisting of the four basic colors; cyan, magenta,
yellow and regular black which are dye based and two channels of matte black
which are pigment based. The L-COA Controller—the brain of the imagePROGRAF—provides
the perfect compatibility between high quality prints and high speed printing
for each job. The L-COA controller along side the 5-color dye/pigment reactive
ink is exclusively designed to drive the best quality output at the highest
possible speeds. The variety of media plus the inclusion of five
printing/application software programs provides the versatility and flexibility
needed for this printer to be used in a wide variety of industries and
applications all in one captivating package.

Color Dye/Pigment Ink System
The new ink system consists
of four dye color inks and a 2 channel matte black pigment ink.Doubling the matte black is used for maximum black density and speed.
When printing, four of the colors may be applied at the same time, since
matte black or black is automatically selected based on the media type
selected in the printer driver.Matte
black will be used when printing on plain or matte media whereas the
dye-based black will be used when printed on coated or glossy paper.

Media Options
-Roll
-Cassette
-Manual Front Feed
-Manual Top feed
All media loading can be
done from the front of the printer; there is no necessity for the user to go
behind the printer in order to load paper.An automatic media switching feature has been added, keeping the
workflow speed on par with the printer.Instead media switching is done within the printer driver and
doesn’t require the user to physically go to the printer and change
anything.
L-COA Controller - New Print Controller
The L-COA1 print controller intelligently
processes the print data to implement high-speed processing in order to
accurately lay ink down for optimal image quality. Combined with Canon's
dual print head design and the most ink nozzles per color in the industry,
the L-COA controller helps achieve extremely fast print speeds

HDI DRIVER
With
the Canon HDI Driver, the driver creates a vector graphical representation
of the printed data.Here
points are defined and a curved line is calculated mathematically in order
to achieve precision.The HDI
Driver creates a graphically accurate drawing of the printed data.

Print
Head
Full-fledged, high-quality
document and CAD/GIS renderings take advanced technology.Our newly-developed print head has two nozzle lines instead of just
one.This increases the number
of nozzles by a factor of two.The
high-density, high-speed and high-quality print head comes with 2.560
nozzles per color (6 colors) with a total of 15,360 nozzles in total.The addition of a second nozzle line to the print head means that
speed is increased dramatically; this is due to twice as many nozzles firing
droplets of ink during one pass of the print head, thus applying more ink to
the media.The addition of the
second nozzle also means that the print head may travel faster across the
media.
Clogged Nozzle Detection and Compensation
The printer will automatically perform the necessary
cleaning without any intervention from the user. If the nozzle remains
obstruccted, the imagePROGRAF will reroute the ink to other functioning
nozzles to compensate for the clog.
