Introducing the Canon iPF PRO-2000 & PRO 4000 Large-Format Printers
Large format professional printers with
11-Color plus Chroma Optimizer ink system
GRAPHIC ARTS PRINTERS
These printers are designed to exceed expectations for image quality and color consistency in a large format printer. The use of new a 1.28-inch wide 12-channel integrated compact print head, LUCIA PRO ink set plus Chroma Optimizer, a high-precision mechanical platform and the L-COA PRO high-speed image processing engine achieves a balance between high-speed printing and exceptional print quality.
These unique Canon technologies and innovations establish the foundation for an ultra-high quality photography imaging solution that is available only from Canon. Powered by a Canon-to-Canon workflow that links images captured with an EOS Digital Camera and printed on an imagePROGRAF PRO Series printer, the result is a solution that delivers prints that capture the moment and emotion of the original image. The overwhelmingly high print quality produced by this input to output solution is called Crystal Fidelity.
THE PRINTER THAT COMPLETES YOUR OBSESSION
ANTI-CLOGGING TECHNOLOGY
The PF-10 print-head with FINE technology generatesfast print speeds and reduces the possibility of clogging.Ink ejection conditions are precisely checked by sensors,and if a clog is detected, another nozzle will automaticallyprovide backup.
MULTIFUNCTION ROLL SYSTEM
The optional, dual-purpose Multifunction Roll System canbe used in two different ways: a two-roll media systemduring the day, when production is high, and a bi-directionalTake-up unit at night, when large, unattended printsare running.
PRINT STUDIO PRO
Creating large-format prints is now easier with Print StudioPRO. This software offers features that streamline yourprinting workflow. Compatible with Canon Digital PhotoProfessional Software, Adobe® Photoshop® Software,Adobe® Lightroom® Software, and Adobe® Elements Software,Print Studio PRO offers versatility never before seenwith Canon large-format printing.
FEATURES
LUCIA PRO Ink Set
The new LUCIA PRO ink set adopts newly formulated 11-color pigment inks and a Chroma Optimizer. This system helps you achieve fantastic color reproduction, image clarity, and enhanced darker areas. It faithfully reproduces colors and dark areas crucial for printing works of art. The blue and magenta inks will help recreate the finest details when printing nightscapes and sunsets. A first for the Canon large format printers is the addition of a Chroma Optimizer. Used when printing on glossy and semi-glossy paper, this acts as a clear coat, improving color performance and gloss characteristics enriching the dark areas of a print.
This new ink set helps:
- Enhance gloss uniformity
- Improve scratch resistance
- Enhance dark area reproduction
- Reduce graininess
Color Calibration
The color calibration function is designed to produce consistent color reproduction. This new printer includes an upgraded, built-in color densitometer that offers precise calibration and color matching. Using a three-color LED and a newly developed condenser lens the sensor enables accurate recalibration of the device, allowing you to maintain a low average printer-to-printer color difference. The color calibration is finished quickly after a few simple steps on the printer's operation panel. A single color calibration performed with one type of media can be applied to media in all printing modes.
The Device Management Console software, ideal for fleet management, lets you perform color calibrations remotely. This software lets you monitor the printer status of up to 50 units from any location in the world, be notified via email when an error has occurred, or check the amount of ink left in the printers without ever having to leave the comfort of your desk.
PF-10 Print Head
The PF-10 print head with anti-clogging FINE technology generates fast print speeds and reduces the possibility of clogging. Ink ejection conditions are precisely checked by 27 sensors, and if a clog is detected, another nozzle will automatically provide back-up.
L-COA PRO High-Speed Image Processing Engine
The imagePROGRAF printers are powered by the L-COA PRO high-speed image processing engine. With three new processing chips, this high-precision control engine performs the processing of massive image data, and controls the optimal ink layout that produces high resolution prints.
High Precision Mechanical Platform
The newly developed unibody structure provides a platform for stable print head scanning which allows for precise ink drop placement.
No Switching of Black Inks
The PRO-Series is designed to work seamlessly when changing media types. Matte black and Photo black inks have their own dedicated nozzles, so no manual switching between ink tanks is necessary. You can print on fine art paper then glossy paper with no worries, no changes, and no waste.
New Operation Panel
The large 3.5" color LCD touch panel makes it easy to view printer information as well as perform simple operations.
Wi-Fi Connection
Stay Connected. A first for the imagePROGRAF large format printers, Wi-Fi connectivity is now standard with this new PRO series.
