High Volume Inkjet Printers Designed to Deliver
Affordable Option for Technical Industry Professionals
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today
announced the launch of three new 44-inch, high volume, large
format inkjet printers. The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF850, iPF840 and
iPF830 models, also available as multi-function devices, are each
designed to bring reliable, affordable and precise printing to
architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), and Computer
Aided Design (CAD) markets. Great for medium to large workgroups,
the five-color technical document printers feature 15,360 nozzles
for intricate full-color renderings, technical drawings and
maps.
In addition to a two media roll system, featured in both the
imagePROGRAF iPF850 and imagePROGRAF iPF840, the imagePROGRAF
iPF850 model features a high-capacity stacker that can hold
up-to-100 sheets of different sized paper (up to A0). Designed for
a time-saving, user-friendly experience, the stacker neatly gathers
newly printed documents to help prevent paper curling and allow
users to quickly collect their newly printed documents.
“Overall, the imagePROGRAF iPF850 has a great design, providing
a definite time saver when doing large sets of prints,” said Nate
Herman, professional engineer at Sathre-Bergquist, Inc. “It is very
quick and easy to pull the stacker out when changing paper and it
rolls back into place effortlessly with no need to worry about
making sure it is aligned. Prints stack perfectly well and can be
taken right off the stacker and stapled which saves a tremendous
amount of time.”
“In today’s business environment, companies require the proper
tools to help conserve costs and time without compromising
quality,” said Junichi Yoshitake, senior vice president and general
manager, of Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A., Inc.
“With an upgraded system to help improve productivity and ink tanks
designed for better efficiency, these new imagePROGRAF large format
printers can help professionals to quickly and cost-effectively
achieve precise technical documents.”
Productivity-Enhancing Features
A steadfast companion for medium to large workgroups, the new
devices boast several design features to help workgroups improve
workflow efficiency and save time. The two media roll system
featured in the imagePROGRAF iPF840 and iPF850 models, promotes
more uptime by enabling automatic paper switching between rolls to
allow for continuous, uninterrupted high-production printing
without the need for user intervention. Additionally, the two roll
support feature further enhances output efficiency by
simultaneously handling different types and varying widths of paper
up to 44 inches. These new printers feature a 320 GB hard drive, a
high chroma magenta ink and Gigabit ethernet.
Delivering print speeds of up to 22 seconds,1 the devices’
upgraded design enables quick, continuous printing by allowing
users to replace the available high-capacity, 700ml ink tanks
during print jobs without pausing production, helping to increase
user productivity. Additionally, over time this new series of
imagePROGRAF printers can assist high-volume offices in tracking
and attaining significant cost savings.
For scan-to-print capabilities, each model is also available as
a multi-function device. The imagePROGRAF iPF850/840/830 MFP M40
models are designed as complete scan-to-print, file, and share
solutions, with the capability to scan documents up-to-two mm
thick. The MFP model includes an M40 scanner, SmartWorks MFP
software, a computer, touch screen monitor and MFP stand to help
meet a variety of office needs.
“While still undergoing testing at BLI’s test facility, the new
Canon iPF830/840/850 have already shown themselves to be up to the
same high standard we have come to expect from Canon, with
outstanding productivity, very good image quality, impressive
feature set and an easy to use design,” said David Sweetnam,
director of Lab and Research Services, Buyers Laboratory
EMEA/Asia.
User-Friendly Software
Efficiency-enhancing features go beyond hardware with these new
imagePROGRAF large format printers. The devices are available at no
additional charge with PosterArtist Lite and Direct Print &
Share cloud portal software2 which includes a shortcut feature for
batch printing and allows files to be dragged and dropped into hot
folders on the desktop. To help address the needs of a diverse
range of users, the models are also compatible with the
imagePROGRAF Print Utility app, allowing print jobs to be managed
from mobile devices.3 Designed for versatility, the mobile app
facilitates wireless printing4 from a compatible iPad® device. With
royalty-free templates, backgrounds, clip art and fonts, Canon’s
PosterArtist Lite provides users with the tools they need to easily
create professional posters, signs and banners.
In addition to the Canon software, there are independent
software vendors that have made their software compatible with
these new imagePROGRAF printers. These companies are Onyx Graphics,
SA International (SAi), System Development Inc. (SDI) and
CADLinkTechnology Corporation. Onyx Graphics, a Canon Group
Company, is dedicated to helping customers increase productivity,
reduce costs, and gain a competitive edge with superior print and
color quality. SAi is recognized as a global leader in providing
