Canon introduces new large-format printers

Office machines manufacturer Canon has launched two new large-format printers, which will replace previous models.

The imagePROGRAF iPF9100 and imagePROGRAF iPF8100 use the most up-to-date 12-colour ink system which utilises Canon’s LUCIA pigment inks.

These inks are instrumental in avoiding an effect known as "bronzing", when printers produce colours that have a metallic hue when viewed at certain angles.

In addition, imagePROGRAF iPF9100 and iPF8100 office machines are able to produce 60-inch wide and 44-wide prints respectively.

They also include colour calibration, which helps maintain consistency and accuracy, as well as an advanced print-head technology which helps the printers achieve a maximum resolution of 2400 x 1200 dpi.

"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 of the Imaging Systems Group at Canon USA.

Canon’s new printers will be "key players" in the world of large-format photographic printing, the company stated.

In addition to printers, the firm manufactures such office machines as calculators and faxes.
