FEATURES & ADVANTAGES
High-Speed Printing: L-COA processor
Output
a D-size (24"x36") drawings in approximately 28 seconds*. When you need
to keep projects moving forward and meet deadlines, this kind of speed
is critical. Powering these incredible print speeds is Canon's L-COA
(Large Format Printer COmmon Architecture) print controller, driving
the imagePROGRAF print engine to lay down ink with exceptional speed
and precision. This unique, high-speed 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.
*When printing in fast mode on plain paper. Includes paper-cutting time.
Space-Saving, Environmentally Conscious Design
This
printer was designed to be space-saving and environmentally conscious.
This printer carries a small footprint with fully front-accessible
operation for flush wall installation that fits into almost any
environment. And loading roll media is simple with built in loading
guide rails and an automatic roll feeder. Made with less plastic, and
reduced CO2 emissions, this model has earned ENERGY STAR qualification,
and draws only 140 watts of power during use.
Productivity: Print Longer without Interruption
Canon's
unique sub-ink tank system means you can replace ink on-the-fly without
stopping the printer. For long print runs, a high-capacity media basket
comes standard with this printer. And its highly durable self-propelled
dual rotary cutter allows for even faster printing of multi-page jobs.
Precision Printing: High-Density PF-04 Print Head
Engineered
for speed and advanced image production, this printer boasts Canon's
latest print-head technology to lay down ink with unprecedented speed
and accuracy. The new PF-04 print head incorporates a new nozzle shape
to reduce satellite ink, producing cleaner lines and text, and
minimizing mist. The high-precision, high-density print head, with a
total of 15,360 nozzles, lays down 4 picoliter-size ink droplets that
produce sharp detail and excellent image quality. The result is
consistently accurate 2400 x 1200 dpi output with fine lines that are
accurate to ฑ0.10% and as thin as 0.02mm.
80GB Hard Drive
A
built-in 80GB hard drive within the printer 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 protected mailboxes for easy access via web
browser or at the printer for job re-printing. The embedded hard disk
is ideal for medium to large workgroups to share a printer efficiently
with multiple users, offering ample job storage space.
Print Job Accounting Manager
Keep
track of costs and allocate consumable expenses to projects more easily
with the Print Job Accounting function. This management tool allows you
to track print jobs by user to calculate ink and media costs, and the
number of pages printed.

Economy Print Mode
Reduce
total ink consumption by utilizing the Economy Print Mode for producing
draft prints on select media. This feature regulates the use of all
inks to produce quick check plots while minimizing the cost per print.
Reactive Ink System
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. Now with new magenta ink for richer, more vivid
reds, this ink system is ideal for both GIS drawings and posters. 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 for AutoCAD application, 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.
