Overview
|
The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF500 17"
printer puts speed and high quality printing in a versatile
package. The new 5-color imagePROGRAF iPF500 features a color
system consisting of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black dye ink and
two channels of pigment matte black.
|
FEATURES |
|
5-Color Dye/Pigment Ink System
The new ink system consists of four dye color inks and a
2-channel matte black pigment ink. Doubling the matte black
is used for maximum black density and speed. When printing,
four of the colors may be applied at the same time, since
matte black or black is automatically selected based on the
media type selected in the printer driver. Matte black will
be used when printing on plain or matte media whereas the
dye-based black will be used when printed on coated or
glossy paper.
Automatic Switching
of Black Inks
The iPF500 will automatically switch between Regular Black
and Matte Black at the time of printing. Simply choose the
paper type and the iPF500 will use the appropriate black to
optimize print quality.
The Regular Black ink produces high quality prints on photo
glossy type media and the Matte Black ink exhibits high
contrast prints with deep black on media such as fine art
paper.
Multiple Media Options
Roll (optional)
Cassette
Manual Front Feed
Manual Top Feed
All media loading can be done from the front of the printer;
there is no necessity for the user to go behind the printer
in order to load paper. An automatic media switching feature
has been added, keeping the workflow speed on par with the
printer. Instead, media switching is done within the printer
driver and doesn't require the user to physically go to the
printer and change anything.
L-COA Controller - New
Print Controller
The L-COA1 print controller intelligently processes the
print data to implement high-speed processing in order to
accurately lay ink down for optimal image quality. Combined
with Canon's dual print head design and the most ink nozzles
per color in the industry, the L-COA controller helps
achieve print speeds of under three minutes for 16.5" x
23.4" (A2) size prints, at 1200 x 1200 dpi on a glossy photo
paper.
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.
