• 12-Color Pigment Ink System - New LUCIA inks
  LUCIA Pigment Ink Technology
  
  The iPF5000 printer features a new 12 color pigment ink system featuring Red, Blue, Green, Gray, Photo Gray, Cyan, Photo Cyan, Magenta, Photo Magenta, Yellow, Regular Black, and Matte Black. The large color gamut provided by the 12 inks produces brilliant colors. The addition of gray and photo gray enables smooth gradations and less graininess, creating a crisp monotone output.

• Automatic Switching Between Black Inks - The iPF5000 will automatically switch between Regular Black and Matte Black at the time of printing. Simply choose the paper type and the iPF5000 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
  The multi media handling options for this printer are not only versatile, but extremely user friendly as well. The iPF5000 printer offers four media feed options; a front-loading cassette for pre-cut sheet, a rear manual feed, a front straight path manual feed for thicker media up to 1.5mm, or an optional roll feed for longer paper lengths. The device features automatic media switching between the cassette and the roll feed so users can keep two media types loaded and ready to print, making their selection from the print driver. The optional roll feed comes with two and three-inch core adapters to accommodate all 17-inch Canon roll-stock media. The printer also comes standard with a built-in rotary media cutter. The iPF5000 will utilize both its rotary cutter and roll feed unit to produce breathtaking borderless (edge-to-edge) prints in minutes.

• New Print Head - PF-01 - Dual print head system
  

  Engineered for speed and advanced image production, the iPF5000 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 iPF5000 uses two high-precision, high density print heads with a total of 30,720 nozzles. It lays down precise 4pl ink droplets to produce sharp detail and excellent image quality.
  
  The superfine 4pl droplets produce delicate color gradations and high-definition. The twin lines of nozzles on the new print heads enable the iPF5000 to minimize the number of printing passes and still maintain print quality. Each of the 2 print heads contain 6 colors, for a total of 12, each employing 2,560 nozzles for a grand total of 30,720 nozzles. This print head technology enables the iPF5000 to print at a true 1200 dot pitch with remarkable speed.

• 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 1200dpi on a glossy photo paper
