Canon has launched five new large format printers for the graphic arts markets. The new 24” to 60”, 8-colour and 12-colour devices have been equipped with a host of new features to deliver superior image quality, productivity and usability.All the new models use LUCIA EX inks, making Canon the only company to use a singular ink set across an entire large format range, and ‘hot swap’ technology. The ink set provides a wider colour gamut, more expressive blacks, better scratch resistance and a more stable colour for optimum image quality to ensure absolute consistency between devices. The ‘hot swap’ technology gives the ability to replace ink whilst printing, providing uninterrupted production and reduced down time.
The 12-colour, 24” imagePROGRAF iPF6400 and iPF6450 are replacing the iPF6300 and iPF6350 models. And imagePROGRAF range is further enhanced by the 44” imagePROGRAF iPF8400, a 12-colour printer, which replaces the iPF8300 that comes with an increased internal HDD of 250GB and a faster throughput. Also, launching are the 60” imagePROGRAF iPF9400 and the imagePF9400S models, 12-colour and 8-colour respectively.
