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.

• 5 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. 

   

• Multiple Media Options

   

  -         Roll

  -         Cassette (only available in iPF610 model)

  -         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.
