Overview
With features designed to help all levels of users achieve extraordinary results, the iPF8100 printer is the ideal solution for any color professional looking for striking, full-bleed color output with strength in paper handling and exceptional speed in output. The iPF8100 printer is engineered to produce colors, fine details, and subtle expressions required for some of the most challenging color environments such as photography, proofing and professional graphic applications.
Auto Calibration
The iPF8100 printer is equipped with the ability to recalibrate itself to the original optimal factory settings and apply any necessary adjustments across all media types. At the same times this creates a more stable, predictable printing platform on which superior results can be consistently achieved.
The system has built-in calibration sensors that accurately detect variation in print heads and measures the density levels of the inks and makes necessary adjustments to return calibration to the original factory settings.
Built-In 80GB Hard Drive
The hard drive storage space within the iPF8100 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 and printing.
Non-firing Detection and Compensation Function
When clogged or non-firing nozzles are detected, print head cleaning cycle is automatically executed. If the nozzle remains obstructed, the iPF8100 will automatically compensate by re-routing the ink to functioning nozzles.
Lucia Ink Technology
The iPF8100 printer's ink set is comprised of 12 colors: four standard process colors with Photo Cyan and Photo Magenta; plus Red, Green, and Blue; Matte Black, Gray, and Photo Gray. This unique combination creates a broad color pallet and delivers exceptional print results. The iPF8100 printer's LUCIA ink is specially formulated to reduce graininess and bronzing and resist scratching and fading. Black, Matte Black, Gray and Photo Gray have been reformulated to optimize black ink density for exceptional monochrome photo-quality output. Based on the type of ink being used, the iPF8100 printer automatically matches the correct black ink to achieve the best print results.
Canon L-COA Image Processor
Like other powerful Canon systems, the iIPF8100 is built around the innovative L-COA (Large Format Printer Common Architecture) processor. When it comes to speed and accuracy, the L-COA processor is in a league of its own. By intelligently processing print data and directing the high- precision, high-density print heads to deposit ink, the system ensures image clarity and color accuracy, even for complex graphics and color-rich photographic images. Combined with Canon's dual print head design and the most ink nozzles per color in the industry, the L-COA controller helps achieve phenomenal print speeds.
Dual Print Head system
Engineered for speed and advanced image production, the iPF8100 boasts Canon's dual print head system to lay down ink with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Unlike conventional printers with a single print head, the iPF8100 uses two high-precision, high-density print heads with a total of 30,720 nozzles. It lays down precise 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 for each color on the new print heads enable the iPF8100 to minimize the number of printing passes and still maintain print quality. The two 1-inch iPF series print heads each boast 6 colors with 2,560 nozzles per color. That's a total of 30,720 nozzles. 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."
Print Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop and Canon Digital Photo Professional
These export modules allow users to directly process and print RAW image files from DPP or Adobe Photoshop. These plug-ins are export modules that bypass the operating systems dependent print driver, allowing processing of 16-bit RGB images directly, which dramatically increases gradations and as a result, overall image quality.
