Canon imagePROGRAF iPF8100 Large Format Printer
Canon USA unveiled their latest large format printer, the imagePROGRAF iPF8100 with integrated Fine Print-head technology. The iPF8100 uses the Canon’s proprietary color calibration technique with new generation “Kyuanos” to achieve consistent and accurate color output for varied lighting conditions. Through the unique twelve-color ink system with reformulated LUCIA pigment inks and the four enhanced monochrome inks it minimizes the occurrence of "bronzing," a phenomenon in which printed colors take on a metallic hue depending on the angle at which they are viewed.
"We are proud of the imaging technology achievements engineered into our latest generation of imagePROGRAF large format printers. The reformulated monochrome inks, new print heads, and a large hard drive will help our customers achieve excellent print and workflow results," said Jim Rosetta, vice president and general manager, Imaging Systems Group, Canon U.S.A.
The imagePROGRAF iPF8100 integrates the L-COA controller to process high resolution files through the new intelligent screen dot pattern and precise ink drop control to eliminate visible dot graininess. The iPF8100 features new print head design with improved dithering pattern and uniform four picoliter droplet size to produce high resolution 44 inch wide output at the maximum of 2400 x 1200 dpi. The imagePROGRAF series will be on display at the Canon booth (#318) during the PhotoPlus Expo in New York City, October 18-20.The iPF810 will be available at the nearest store by November 2007 at an MSRP of $5,995.
