This
24-inch addition to the Large Format S-Series printer family offers
a small, versatile footprint for those seeking high-speed,
high-quality output. Ideal for professional service providers who
need to produce more output in less time, the imagePROGRAF iPF6000S
can achieve speeds up to 294 ft./hr.1 and print an A-1
sized print in just one minute.2 Canon's innovative
8-color LUCIA ink configuration helps increase print efficiency and
creates vibrant colors and tones that are ideal for production
applications. And with an 80GB hard drive, Economy Color Mode,
built-in calibration, and borderless printing, the iPF6000S delivers
the productivity and capacity to produce more high-quality work, at
a lower cost and in less time.
The imagePROGRAF iPF6000S includes PosterArtist Lite, Canon's
easy-to-use poster creation software. PosterArtist Lite offers many
pre-designed templates, royalty-free images and clipart, as well as
advanced editing options to help create posters, banners and signage
in just four easy steps. You can even personalize your creation by
importing your own images and digital camera photos into the
program. Let PosterArtist Lite in conjunction with the iPF6000S
assist in bringing your large format projects to life by printing
eye-catching posters, signs and displays in just minutes.
An innovative color configuration that further
increases print efficiency by dispersing eight colors of ink across twelve
ink channels of the two print heads for better ink coverage with each pass
and greater productivity without sacrificing image quality. The iPF6000S
features eight colors of LUCIA ink (Cyan, Photo Cyan, Magenta, Photo
Magenta, Yellow, Black, Matte Black and Gray) for a dynamic color gamut.
The inclusion of Gray alongside Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta helps to
create smooth gradations and reduced graininess, creating a crisp monotone
output. Black, Matte Black and Gray help optimize black density regardless
of media type to reproduce better gray tones for smoother transitions from
white to black.
Canon's PosterArtist Lite poster creation software
(included) with the printer, gives users the ability to quickly and easily
create professional large format prints. Users simply follow the program's
four easy steps to create posters that can be used in applications such as
office presentations, trade shows, retail signage and much, much more. The
PosterArtist QuickCopy feature provides an easy solution for a CanoScan
desktop scanner to be used as a copier, making letter-size flyers and
documents into full-size posters with a touch of a button.
For those with more demanding poster creation needs, Canon's optional
PosterArtist 2008 offers advanced features such as Auto Design, Variable
Data and in-application image editing features, as well as additional
templates, royalty-free photos and clip-art. The built-in weblink featured
in PosterArtist Lite links users directly to the PosterArtist Web site for
useful hints and tips, and even more free contents for download.
The Economy Color Mode produces 1200 x 1200 dpi
output while reducing ink consumption by 10-20%. This feature regulates
the use of Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta inks to produce high-quality
output at a lower total cost.
An 80GB hard drive within the iPF6000S 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 password-protected mailboxes and
accessed from Canon's Remote User Interface for quick and easy print
management.
This hard drive supports multiple methods of data erasure and document
security, ranging from a quick and easy option that simply removes file
system information to a triple overwrite of the hard drive that conforms
to the DoD.52220.22-M standard of the U.S. Department of Defense.
The iPF6000S printer is equipped with the ability
to easily reset back to the original optimal factory settings and apply
any necessary adjustments across all the printer's media types in just
minutes. At the same time this creates a stable, predictable printing
platform on which superior results can be consistently achieved. The
system has built-in calibration sensors that help compensate for adverse
environmental conditions, while providing a predictable platform for color
management and consistent color reproduction.
Engineered for speed and advanced image production,
the iPF6000S 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 iPF6000S 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. An innovative ink channel configuration accelerates print
efficiency by distributing the ink across the two print heads for better
ink coverage with each pass.
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.
This utility makes it easy to print large-format
documents created with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.2
This toolbar, with easy Wizard instructions, will bypass the printer
driver to simplify the printing process. A few simple steps convert your 8
˝ x 11 office document to poster size.
