FEATURES & ADVANTAGES:
Reactive Ink Technology
Ideal for technical applications, Canon’s breakthrough 5-color dye/pigment
Reactive Ink technology utilizes four highly colorfast dye inks for producing
bold, expressive color plus two channels of matte black ink for printing precise
lines, smooth curves and small text on technical and office documents. These
Canon inks provide superior adhesion to media, scratch and marker resistance
and ensure minimal “bleeding” between colors and text. Even small text printed
on colored backgrounds or on uncoated technical papers is crisp and legible.
HDI Driver
With the Canon HDI Driver, the driver creates a vector graphical representation
of the printed data. Here points are defined and a curved line is calculated
mathematically in order to achieve precision. The HDI Driver creates a graphically
accurate drawing of the printed data.
- Pen Assignments and Virtual Pen
- Exact page size that corresponds with the actual print size
- Print Type setting
- Print Quality setting
- Color Mode setting
- Brightness slide bar setting
- Black ink print feature
- Advanced media settings
L-COA Processor
Canon’s L-COA (Large Format Printer COmmon Architecture)
print controller is the “brain” that powers the printers’ data. This unique,
high-speed processor drives the print engine to lay ink down with high precision
and helps ensure optimal image quality and color accuracy. This processor
enables the print system to process large volumes of data while optimizing
output of complex high-color GIS images and architectural renderings for maximum
readability and color accuracy.
High Density Print Head PF-03
Engineered for speed and advanced image production, the iPF710 boasts Canon's
latest print-head technology to lay down ink with unprecedented speed and
accuracy. The iPF710 uses a high-precision, high-density print head with a
total of 15,360 nozzles to lay down 4 picoliter-size ink droplets to produce
sharp detail and excellent image quality. The superfine 4 picoliter-size droplets
produce delicate color gradations and high-definition. The twin lines of nozzles
on the print head enable the iPF710 to minimize the number of printing passes
and still maintain print quality. More nozzles mean more ink is ejected with
every pass of the print head, no matter what print mode or media. It gives
new meaning to "high-speed output."
Printer Driver
This Windows® and Macintosh® driver incorporates simplified page setup options,
one-touch borderless printing, expanded color settings, and much more into
a printer driver that is intuitive and easy to operate, but still gives even
the most advanced users the tools needed to stay productive. The Free Layout

Media Roll Detection System
The imagePROGRAF iPF710 is capable of tracking how much paper is remaining
on the roll, preventing print jobs from being ruined. It prints the media
information (in text and barcode) directly on the roll, before it is removed
from the printer.
Borderless Printing
The printer is capable of producing 4-sided, borderless prints in minutes.
This edge-to-edge printing ability eliminates the need for cutting and is
just one example of the efficiency and innovation built into the Canon solution.
