Canon is pushing for the improvement of the local printing
industry in the Philippines by releasing tow new large format printers to
empower print service providers and their customers.
On one hand there’s the imagePress color production
cut-sheet presses, which include the imagePress C700 and the imagePress C800
which churns out 70ppm and 80ppm respectively. The C800 is capable of handling
a wide variety of media including heavyweight coated stock and envelopes thanks
to its Elastic Intermediate Transfer Belt that allows it to produce extensive
applications on uneven materials such as textured or recycled media.
The printer utilizes a 32-beam Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting
Laser (VCSEL) unit with multi-exposure technology to deliver incredible detail
and resolution up to 2400 x 2400 dpi. It also has a new AutoCorrect Color Tone
(ACCT) feature that allows for multi-dimensional mixed color calibration.
Other notable features of the C800 include Consistently
Vivid (CV) technology that allows for improved transfer efficiency for enhanced
color consistency and accuracy across various mediums, and a Compact
Registration Technology (CRT) that ensures every single image is placed at the
same spot on every sheet thereby granting the user with precision alignment for
large volume print jobs.
And speaking of large volume print jobs, the C800 offers a
new multi-drawer paper deck with three new technologies, which prevents
misfeeds even with coated stocks. There’s also a built-in induction heating and
cooling technology to allow the device to moderate its internal temperature
intelligently to optimize productivity with mixed jobs.
Finally there are the new Canon imagePROGRAF printers (iPF8410SE
and iPF6410SE) that offer high quality large-format printing. The printers in
this range features six-color pigment ink system for lowered ink usage.
Just like the C800, the imagePROGRAF printers are compatible
with a wide array of print media and enables users to produce vibrant posters
through enhanced basic performance for the creation of posters and other point
of purchase materials. Moreover, both models come with two ink tanks which
allow them to continue printing even if the tank runs out of ink due to the
sub-ink tanks installed.
The iPF6410SE comes with a free copy of Canon’s PosterArtist
Lite software for easy poster editing. Both models also come with a Print
Plug-in for Office that should make it easy for users to design, preview and print
posters from Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint and Word.
