Built to put advanced printing
technologies into the hands of artists and photographers, the new
60" iPF9100 will help to fulfill your creative potential like never
before. With the iPF9100, Canon delivers impressive 60" color
output, strength in paper handling and speed in output - everything a
professional needs to productively and efficiently create enhanced color
materials. The iPF9100 printer is designed to fulfill the needs of any
digital artist looking to create captivating images from capture to
output. The iPF9100 is equipped with a unique pallet of 12 colors to
deliver a broader gamut for greater tonal range and more precise color
reproduction. The new ink formulation for Black, Matte Black, Gray and
Photo Gray reduces bronzing while providing stronger ink adhesion to the
print media, resulting in better scratch resistance without any
additional protection. The iPF9100 incorporates the 12-color pigment ink
system with LUCIA™ inks, the L-COA controller, along with an 80GB hard
drive. The Canon L-COA processor, which is dedicated to the imagePROGRAF,
is designed to optimize the best quality output at the highest possible
speeds. Vivid, breathtaking, long-lasting prints are achieved by
combining these advanced technological Canon achievements.
Its built-in features put the power to produce at your fingertips.
Designed for reliability, simplicity, and above all, quality, the
iPF9100 is the professional's answer for superior quality prints. The
new iPF9100 printer is equipped with the ability to recalibrate itself
to the original factory settings and apply any necessary adjustments
across the printer's media types. The result - a more predictable
printing platform where results can be consistently achieved. The
iPF9100 has opened a world of new possibilities with Canon's workflow
solutions that simplify printer operation and expand the creative
options for large-format photography and fine-art applications.
Features:
12-Color Pigment Ink System - Canon's LUCIA pigment ink
offers excellent color fastness and stability with a remarkably wide
color gamut. LUCIA ink minimizes bronzing and graininess
Built-in Calibration - Equipped with a built-in calibration
feature to help you consistently achieve superior results
Automatic Switching Between Black Inks - Utilizes automatic
switching between Regular Black and Matte Black Ink, helping to
eliminate wasted ink and time of swapping out ink tanks
Print Head System - Dual print head system with a total of
30,720 nozzles
Borderless Printing - 4-sided edge-to-edge printing, only
with roll media
Efficiency & Speed - The iPF9100's built-in 80GB HDD
processes jobs fast, maintains productivity and enables easy
unmanned printing
Non-firing Detection and Compensation Function - When
clogged or non-firing nozzles are detected, print head cleaning
cycle is automatically executed. If the nozzle remains obstructed,
the iPF9100 will automatically compensate by re-routing the ink to
functioning nozzles
The iPF9100 printer's ink set is comprised
of 12 colors: four standard process colors with Photo Cyan and
Photo Magenta; plus Red, Green, Blue, Matte Black, Gray, and Photo
Gray. This unique combination creates a broad color pallet and
delivers exceptional print results. The iPF9100 printer's LUCIA
ink is specially formulated to reduce graininess and bronzing and
resist scratching and fading. Black, Matte Black, Gray and Photo
Gray have been reformulated to optimize black ink density for
exceptional monochrome photo-quality output. Based on the type of
media being used, the iPF9100 printer automatically chooses the
correct black ink to achieve the best print results.
The hard drive storage space within the
iPF9100 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 iPF9100 printer is equipped with the
ability to recalibrate itself to the original optimal factory
settings and apply any necessary adjustments across all the
printer's media types. This creates a stable, predictable printing
platform on which superior results can be consistently achieved.
The system has built-in calibration sensors that accurately detect
variation in print heads and measure the density levels of the
inks and make necessary adjustments to return calibration to the
original factory settings.
Engineered for speed and advanced image
production, the iPF9100 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 iPF9100 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. The superfine
4 picoliter-size droplets produce delicate color gradations and
high-definition. The twin lines of nozzles for each color on the
new print heads enable the iPF9100 to minimize the number of
printing passes and still maintain print quality. The two 1-inch
iPF series print heads each boast 6 colors with 2,560 nozzles per
color. That's a total of 30,720 nozzles. More nozzles mean more
ink is ejected with every pass of the print head, no matter what
print mode or media. It gives new meaning to "high-speed
output."
Like other powerful Canon systems, the
iPF9100 is built around the innovative L-COA (Large Format Printer
Common Architecture) processor. When it comes to speed and
accuracy, the L-COA processor is in a league of its own. By
intelligently processing print data and directing the
high-precision, high-density print heads to deposit ink, the
system ensures image clarity and color accuracy, even for complex
graphics and color-rich photographic images. Combined with Canon's
dual print head design and the most ink nozzles per color in the
industry, the L-COA controller helps achieve phenomenal print
speeds
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 system's dependent print driver,
allowing processing of 16-bit RGB images directly, which
dramatically increases gradations and as a result, overall image
quality.
The
imagePROGRAF printer driver works with both Windows® and
Macintosh® operating systems offering exceptional,
high-quality prints through easy usability and accurate
color. The printer driver incorporates existing imagePROGRAF
features along with new, easy-to-use functions. The
monochrome photo mode produces neutral, high-quality
monochrome images with the primary use of the Black, Gray
and Photo Gray inks. This mode helps to ensure minimal
shifts in color that are commonly caused by the use of color
inks in black and white prints, thus outputting neutral
tones with smooth gradation. Another easy-to-use feature is
the free layout feature2, which allows for custom
nesting of separate images and documents.
Features:
Web links (Support tab) - An html-based utility that
provides access to websites through the printer driver
Categorized Media list - Media names are organized in
a hierarchical tree structure
More detailed page preview - provides a clearer and
more intuitive preview
Scan to Copy - imageRUNNER enlargement copy
14 preset document profiles (examples are Poster, CAD,
Photo)
Automatic print quality options dependent on print
application and media
Digital Photo Front-Access has been
developed by Canon as a utility to import images from a
camera, memory card, USB, etc. and incorporate them into
software applications such as PosterArtist and Photoshop.
Auto image retouching
Ability to open in PosterArtist and Photoshop
Support for JPEG and RAW images
Simple configuration of print settings by means of the
printer driver
This
template-driven software was developed by Canon specifically
