Brilliant Large-Format Printing Solutions The imagePROGRAF printers are pure expressions of Canon ingenuity. Combining groundbreaking technologies with unparalleled Canon expertise in the digital imaging workflow, these innovative large-format printers are the new benchmarks for output quality and performance. Incomparable 12-Color LUCIA Ink Set The Canon 12-color LUCIA ink set includes Red, Blue, Green, Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Gray, Photo Gray and Matte Visible frequency range Adobe RGB LUCIA Ink Black inks in addition to the traditional Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black inks. This enables the imagePROGRAF print- ers to reproduce a Canon RC Photogloss L=50 much wider range of colors with superior saturation and tonal gradation. Moreover, the two Gray inks ensure black-and-white photo prints of exceptional tonal depth and detail with substantially reduced metamerism. The latest Canon imagePROGRAF printers feature improved LUCIA ink technology that builds on this imaging system's widely acclaimed performance. The inks offer improved scratch resistance and longevity thanks to an improved polymer coating that allows the ink to bond more efficiently and effectively to the paper. Reformulated Gray and Photo Gray inks combine with processing optimization to ensure better gradation, resulting in even less visible grain than their predecessors. They deliver higher overall print quality with dramatically reduced bronzing. Automatic Color Stability Control System A sophisticated Automatic Color Stability Control system on imagePROGRAF printers makes it simple to achieve predictable, repeatable color. With a high-performance multi-sensor installed in the printer, calibration is done easily and quickly (under 10 minutes) with a simple setup from the printer's operation 52 ©2007 Parish Kohanim All Rights Reserved. panel. Photographers will find amazing consistency among all calibrated printers they might use. Canon imagePROGRAF color calibration also ensures consistency in viewed colors from capture to calibrated computer screen to final print. Superior Print Durability Using advanced pigment ink technology, the Canon LUCIA ink set delivers outstanding archival characteristics. Prints are exceptionally fade-resistant and exhibit excellent color stability, light-fastness, gas-fastness, and water resistance. FINE Dual Print Head Technology Thanks to unique Canon FINE print head technology, photographers no longer need to choose between print speed and image quality. imagePROGRAF printers employ an advanced FINE dual print head design- each head has 15,360 nozzles, yielding over 30,000 nozzles. This not only delivers extremely high output resolution, but also ensures faster, more reliable printing. The large number of nozzles also substantially increases print head life so that the printer requires less frequent maintenance. And because the print heads are user-replaceable, maintenance can be performed with minimal downtime and no costly service calls. Automatic Black Ink Selection The LUCIA ink set includes both Black and Matte Black. Black ink is optimized for glossy- surface media, while Matte Black ink improves contrast with Fine Art papers. imagePROGRAF printers keep both black ink car- tridges loaded on Regular Black vs. Matte Black on Fine Art Media separate printing channels at all times and automatically selects one or the other depending on media type. This superior design eliminates wasted ink and saves time. Unsurpassed Output Media Selection imagePROGRAF printers include support for a wide range of paper and specialty output media, such as RC photo, fine art and co-branded papers. Versatile 4-way media feeding, including a roll feed, enables the printer to handle media thicknesses from 0.07mm to 1.5mm (iPF6200, iPF6100 and iPF5100). Moreover, the Media Configuration Tool supplied with the printer enables the user to update both the driver and the printer itself, using a periodically published database, to accommodate new media as they become available. Custom ICC output profiles for individual media will also be available via download, making the imagePROGRAF printers ideal for color-managed workflows. (Profiles for the iPF9100, iPF8100, iPF6100 and iPF5100 are available online now. Profiles for the iPF6200 will be added soon.) Exclusive L-COA Image Processor Canon L-COA (Large format printer COmmon Architecture) technology lies at the heart of the dedicated image processor in High Performance & Integration Integrated System & Engine Control High Speed Engine Control High Accuracy & High Speed Control of High Density Head High Fine Image Process Integrated System & Engine Control imagePROGRAF printers. A proprietary chip architecture, sophisticated algorithms, and high-speed multitasking capability ensure rapid printing with precise control over the 12-color ink delivery system. In addition to assuring both the highest printing speed and highest output quality at all times, the L-COA processor enables productivity-enhancing features such as auto nozzle clog detection, cleaning, and compensation. 16-Bit Printing Support While conventional inkjet printers are designed to handle only 8-bit-per-channel image data, the imagePROGRAF printers provide advanced support for high-bit-depth files. A supplied plug-in enables high-bitdepth images to be printed directly from Digital Photo Professional ver.3.1 and later. Also included is an export module for printing 16-bit files directly from Adobe® Photoshop®. Digital Photo Professional These features provide the photographer with high-bit-depth workflow options from capture to output. Images are reproduced with smoother tonal gradations for greater photorealism. Dynamic-range-related problems, such as posterization and banding, are significantly reduced. You can now realize that high depth color you captured with your digital camera in your wide format without additional software. Advanced Connectivity The imagePROGRAF printers are equipped with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed and Ethernet interfaces. A FireWire (IEEE 1394) interface is also available as an option. They also feature excellent multi-platform support, enabling seamless integration with a wide variety of hardware and workflow configurations. 53
