The
24" imagePROGRAF iPF655 is an exceptional large format printing
solution with a small footprint, suited for the education and general-use
markets, with the versatility to meet the demands of architects and
engineers. With incredibly high resolutions, and an 80GB hard drive, the
iPF655 is an ideal solution for any environment with a need for printing
full-color signs, posters, drawings, and other large-format graphics
quickly, effortlessly, and with remarkable detail.
A totally revamped, environmentally-conscious design with fully
front-accessible operations allows for outstanding ease-of-use and flush
wall installation in any environment. From loading paper to navigating
through an intuitive designed control panel, the iPF655 simplifies large
format printing. And with accounting functionality, a sub-ink tank system,
and Gigabit Ethernet support, this printer achieves exceptionally high
measures of productivity. Combined with its impressive speed, precision,
and high quality output, the imagePROGRAF iPF655 is the premier printing
solution for the technical documents market.
Output a D-size (24"x36") drawing in
approximately 28 seconds*. When you need to keep projects
moving forward and meet deadlines, this kind of speed is critical.
Powering these incredible print speeds is Canon's L-COA (Large Format
Printer COmmon Architecture) print controller, driving the imagePROGRAF
print engine to lay down ink with exceptional speed and precision. This
unique, high-speed processor enables the print system to process large
volumes of data while optimizing output of complex high-color GIS images
and architectural renderings for maximum readability and color accuracy.
*When printing in fast mode on plain paper. Includes
paper-cutting time.
This printer was designed to be space-saving and
environmentally conscious. This printer carries a small footprint with
fully front-accessible operation for flush wall installation that fits
into almost any environment. Also, loading roll media is simple with
built-in loading guide rails and an automatic roll feeder. Made with less
plastic, and reduced CO2 emissions, this model has earned ENERGY STAR
qualification, and draws only 140 watts of power during use.
Canon's unique sub-ink tank system means you can
replace ink on-the-fly without stopping the printer. For long print runs,
a high-capacity media basket comes standard with this printer. And its
highly durable self-propelled dual rotary cutter allows for even faster
printing of multi-page jobs.
Engineered for speed and advanced image production,
this printer boasts Canon's latest print-head technology to lay down ink
with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The new PF-04 print head
incorporates a new nozzle shape to reduce satellite ink, producing cleaner
lines and text, and minimizing mist. The high-precision, high-density
print head, with a total of 15,360 nozzles, lays down 4 picoliter-size ink
droplets that produce sharp detail and excellent image quality. The result
is consistently accurate 2400 x 1200 dpi output with fine lines that are
accurate to ±0.10% and as thin as 0.02mm.
A built-in 80GB hard drive within the printer
increases productivity by relieving workload from the host PC, while
providing a large capacity for print job data storage and retrieval. This
80GB hard drive enables job data to be stored in protected mailboxes for
easy access via web browser or at the printer for job re-printing. The
embedded hard disk is ideal for medium to large workgroups to share a
printer efficiently with multiple users, offering ample job storage space.
Keep track of costs and allocate consumable
expenses to projects more easily with the Print Job Accounting function.
This management tool allows you to track print jobs by user to calculate
ink and media costs, and the number of pages printed.

Reduce total ink consumption by utilizing the
Economy Print Mode for producing draft prints on select media. This
feature regulates the use of all inks to produce quick check plots while
minimizing the cost per print.
Ideal for technical applications, Canon's
breakthrough 5-color dye/pigment Reactive Ink technology utilizes four
highly colorfast dye inks for producing bold, expressive color, plus two
channels of matte black ink for printing precise lines, smooth curves, and
small text on technical and office documents. Now with new magenta ink for
richer, more vivid reds, this ink system is ideal for both GIS drawings
and posters. These Canon inks provide superior adhesion to media, scratch
and marker resistance, and ensure minimal "bleeding" between
colors and text. Even small text printed on colored backgrounds or on
uncoated technical papers is crisp and legible.
With the Canon HDI Driver for AutoCAD application,
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.
Features:
Exact page size that corresponds with the actual print size
This Windows® and Macintosh® drivers incorporate
simplified page setup options, one-touch borderless printing, expanded
color settings, and much more into a printer driver that is intuitive and
easy-to-operate while still giving even the most advanced users the tools
needed to stay productive.
The Real Preview feature ensures users that the print setting and the
layout on the roll paper is correct by providing real time preview,
allowing users to change the print setting even after clicking on
"print." The Free Layout feature enables nesting and custom
layouts of images or files of nearly any type (available for both Windows
and Mac driver).
The imageRUNNER Enlargement Copy feature built-in to the printer driver
lets users transfer data from their Color imageRUNNER device with
Universal Send to the imagePROGRAF printer - all with the touch of a
button - enabling users to easily create posters from hard copy documents.
