CAD|STATION PS+ Software
A complete production package that includes a True Adobe PS color RIP with
advanced job management and accounting software, providing greater functionality
for workgroups. This software will help simplify batch printing procedures,
relieve image processing burden from end-user workstations for faster throughput,
and includes advanced accounting and job-cost tracking functions.
- Drag & drop allows hot folder printing of industry-specific
file formats such as HP-GL/2, HP-RTL, CGM, CALS, AutoCAD, DWF, DXF, and
DWG as well as PS, EPS, PDF, TIFF, BMP and others.
- A complete tool set provides additional controls over output options and
helps manage batch printing more efficiently.
- The color RIP capabilities include profiles for a wide variety of media
along with color calibration tools.
- Accounting functions track output activity and record details such as
project, customer, or cost center information to simplify invoicing and
project cost accounting.
Productivity: Print Longer Without Interruption
Load the iPF820 with two large rolls and realize continuous printing for hundreds
of feet. Automatically switch between different media types or use two
rolls of the same paper for continuous printing of large consecutive runs.
And with Canon's unique sub-ink tank system, you can replace ink on-the-fly
without stopping the printer. Choose extra large 700ml ink tanks for increased
productivity. For long print runs, a high-capacity media basket comes standard
with the iPF820. Add the optional high-capacity stacker for even greater print
yields when printing on plain paper.
The optional stacker provides a flat surface to offload prints and eliminates
the need for operator handling. Built for high productivity, this stacker
automatically picks up documents of mixed document sizes and stacks them up
to 300 sheets.
High Speed Printing: L-COA processor
Canon's advanced system architecture achieves print speeds up to 688 ft2/hr
on uncoated media. When you need to keep projects moving forward and meet
deadlines, this kind of speed is critical. Output two D size (24"x36")
drawings per minute or print a full color, 2400x1200 dpi high resolution
A0 size image with full graphic coverage on heavyweight coated paper in
only three minutes. Powering these incredible print speeds is Canon's L-COA
processor, at the heart of every imagePROGRAF printer.
The L-COA (Large Format Printer COmmon Architecture) print controller drives
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.
Precision Printing: High Density Print Head
Engineered for speed and advanced image production, the iPF820 boasts Canon's
latest print-head technology to lay down ink with unprecedented speed and
accuracy. The iPF820 uses a high-precision, high-density print head with
a total of 15,360 nozzles to lay 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 +/-
0.10% 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 mail boxes 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.
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. In addition,
Canon's media Auto Rotation and Nesting features will help you save paper.
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.
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.
