Canon announces the new imagePROGRAF iPF8000S,
44" printer, a powerful print engine specifically built to meet the demands
of the highly competitive production printing marketplace. The iPF8000S is ideal
for professional service providers who need to produce more output in less time.
With high speed throughput up to 350 ft/hr2, an 80GB hard drive,
borderless printing and other features that maximize productivity, this printer
increases overall production capacity and reduces job turnaround time. The new
innovative 8 color LUCIA ink configuration helps increase print efficiency and
creates vibrant colors and tones that are ideal for production graphics
applications.
Speed without quality has little value, but with a built-in calibration
feature and other advanced quality control functions such as the L-COA
processor, the iPF8000S is built to deliver consistently superior results
without sacrificing speed. This production grade printer is more than 40% faster
than any other imagePROGRAF Graphic Arts printer making it ideal for anyone who
needs to increase the capacity, productivity and versatility of their
large-format printing services.
An innovative color configuration that further increases print
efficiency by dispersing eight colors of ink across twelve ink
channels of the two print heads for better ink coverage with each
pass and greater productivity without sacrificing image quality. The
iPF8000S features 8 colors of LUCIA ink (Cyan, Photo Cyan, Magenta,
Photo Magenta, Yellow, Black, Matte Black and Gray) for a dynamic
color gamut. The inclusion of Gray along side Photo Cyan and Photo
Magenta helps to create smooth gradations and reduced graininess,
creating a crisp monotone output.
Black, Matte Black and Gray help optimize black density
regardless of media type to reproduce better gray tones for smoother
transitions from white to black.
The new Economy Print Mode produces 1200 x 1200 dpi
output at 211ft2/hr on coated and uncoated paper stocks while
reducing ink consumption by 10% to 20%. This new feature regulates the use
of Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta inks to produce high quality output at a
lower total cost.
Increased hard drive storage space within the
iPF8000S 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 mail boxes
for easy access and printing.
The iPF8000S printer is equipped with the ability
to easily reset back to the original optimal factory settings and apply
any necessary adjustments across all the printer's media types in just
minutes. At the same times this creates a stable, predictable printing
platform on which superior results can be consistently achieved. The
system has built-in calibration sensors that help compensate for adverse
environmental conditions while providing a predictable platform for color
management and consistent color reproduction.
Engineered for speed and advanced image production,
the iPF8000S boasts Canon's dual print head system to lay down ink with
unprecedented speed and accuracy. Unlike conventional printers with a
single print head, the iPF8000S uses two high-precision, high density
print heads with a total of 30,720 nozzles. It lays down precise 4
picoliter-size ink droplets to produce sharp detail and excellent image
quality. An innovative ink channel configuration accelerates print
efficiency by distributing the ink across the two print heads for better
ink coverage with each pass.
These export modules allow users to directly
process and print RAW image files from DPP or Adobe Photoshop. These
plug-ins are export modules that bypass the operating systems dependent
print driver, allowing processing of 16-bit RGB images directly, which
dramatically increases gradations and as a result, overall image quality.
This template driven software was developed by
Canon specifically to create large-format posters with complete quickly
and easily. PosterArtist helps users of all levels to create professional
