iPF820/810

Speed and Precision – Two D-Sized Prints Per Minute
Print speed is critical when you need
to keep projects moving forward and
meet tight deadlines. That’s why the
imagePRO RAF iPF820/810 printers
are built for high-speed production of
complex schematics, drawings, maps,
and presentations.
WO D-SIZED PRIN S PER MINU E,
IN COLOR OR MONOCHROME
Canon’s advanced system architecture
achieves print speeds of up to 688 ft.2/hr.
on plain papers. Or print a full-color,
2400 x 1200 dpi high-resolution, A0-sized
image (10.76 ft.2) with full graphic coverage on
heavyweight coated media in only
three minutes.*
SPEC ACULAR ACCURACY
AND EX RAORDINARY DE AIL
A large 1.07", super-high-density print-head
with 15,360 nozzles and a double set of
Matte Black ink channels ejects minuscule
4pl droplets of ink across a wide swath of
media. 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.
FIVE-COLOR REAC IVE INK ECHNOLOGY
Print complex schematics with super-clear
small text fonts and crisp lines over color
backgrounds, even on uncoated technical
papers. This unique, wide-color-gamut ink set
features four colorfast dye inks and a pig-
ment Matte Black ink that are chemically
engineered to prevent excessive “bleeding”
so text and lines are always sharp and legible.
* Mechanical print time does not include data transfer time. Print time is measured for 60 consecutive minutes (including head cleaning and cutting time), printing multiple
copies using Canon Printer Driver with Plain Paper setting at Draft (full-density) Mode.

The new imagePRO RAF iPF820/810
printers are single-solution systems built
to satisfy the full range of large-format
technical document printing requirements
professionals encounter every day.
DUAL MEDIA ROLLS
Equipped with dual media rolls, the
iPF820 printer eliminates the cause
of many bottlenecks in busy printing
environments. It can automatically
switch between different size and
types of media or print on the same
media to enable fast, consecutive printing
of jobs submitted by multiple users.
VERSA ILE OU PU UP O 44"- WIDE
Print what you need, when you need
it. With the auto rotation and nesting
functionality on HP- L/2 files, the
iPF820/810 printers not only maximize
throughput, but they also help save on
media consumption and per-print costs.
AU OMA IC BLACK INK SELEC ION
Based on the type of media being
used, the printer will automatically
select the right type of black ink for
best results: pigment Matte Black for
uncoated and technical papers or dye
Black for coated and glossy media.
BORDERLESS PRIN ING
Print from edge-to-edge.* Output can
be ready to use without additional
trimming and finishing when utilizing
the borderless printing option.
SELF-PROPELLED CU ER
The double rotary blade cutter is driven
separately from the print-head carriage
so that cutting can start immediately
after printing is finished. The result is
faster, continuous throughput.
PRIN LONGER WI HOU IN ERRUP ION
Canon’s unique sub-ink tank system
means you can replace ink on-the-fly,
without stopping the printer. Choose
the extra large 700ml ink tanks for
even greater productivity.
MEDIA DE EC ION SYS EM
The automatic media detection and
management system keeps track of
paper usage and warns the user if
there’s not enough media to complete
a print task.
HIGH-CAPACI Y MEDIA BASKE
For long print runs, a high-capacity
media basket comes standard on
both the iPF820 and iPF810 printers.

MULTIFUNCTION SOLUTIONS TO FIT YOUR ORKFLO

Operations – Optimized
Canon designed the large-format
imagePRO RAF iPF820/810 printers
to make producing technical documents
faster, easier, and more efficient. To help
you optimize daily operations, the enhanced
features contribute directly to overall
performance and simplified end-user tasks.
WORKGROUP PRIN ING
Waiting for large files to print can slow down
an entire workgroup. That’s where an 80 B
hard drive makes all the difference. Now
multiple users can organize and manage their
print jobs easily via the system’s remote user
interface with up to 29 password-protected
mail boxes. Once a large data file is sent,
the printer stores it in the queue, freeing
workstations for the next project. The large
hard drive capacity means workgroups can
be extra productive.
ENHANCED REMO E USER IN ERFACE
The enhanced Remote User Interface
includes password-protected mail boxes
to help organize and manage print jobs
from multiple users, so medium- to
large-size workgroups can share the
printer more efficiently.
CANON PRIN ER DRIVER
Intuitive operation with easy and
advanced settings for both Windows
and Macintosh users.
FREE-LAYOU FUNC ION
Assemble charts, tables, text documents,
and graphics of different file formats onto a
single page, and print them together to create
high-impact posters and presentations.
SCAN- O-PRIN ENLARGEMEN S
Making enlargements is as easy as
making copies when an imagePRO RAF
large-format printer is seamlessly integrated
with a Canon imageRUNNER®or
imagePRESS™multifunction system
with Universal Send.
REAL PREVIEW FUNC ION
Avoid unnecessary errors and reprints
with this real-time preview function that
enables users to modify settings, even
after clicking “Print.”
COLOR EMULA ION
The color emulation function helps these
imagePRO RAF printers to approximate
the colors produced by other legacy
large-format ink-jet printers.
ENHANCED HDI DRIVER
Print HP- L/2 and HP RTL files directly
from CAD applications, including AutoCAD
and AutoCAD LT via Canon’s enhanced HDI
Driver. This high-speed HDI driver saves users
time and improves workgroup efficiencies.
HARD DRIVE SECURI Y
The 80 B hard drive supports multiple
methods of data erasure and document
security, ranging from a quick and easy
option that simply removes file system infor-
mation to a triple overwrite of the hard drive
that conforms to the DoD.52220.22-M stan-
dard of the U.S. Department of Defense.

In addition to the low initial acquisition cost
of these printers, a number of important
features minimize ink consumption, media
waste, and maintenance costs to contribute
to a significantly reduced total cost of
operations while still producing technical
documents of the highest quality.
•Economy Print Mode lo ers the cost
per print: Significantly reduce ink
consumption and lower total printing
costs by selecting Economy Print Mode
when printing drafts and check plots.
•Durable print-head reduces maintenance
costs: Canon’s unique high-density
print-head ejects fine droplets of ink with
remarkable efficiency and accuracy.
With 15,360 nozzles, there’s less wear
and tear on each individual nozzle,
increasing the life of the print-head.
•Large-Capacity Ink Tanks: Large 330ml
or 700ml ink tank helps lower total cost
of ownership overtime while increasing
your productivity.
•Minimize media aste: Canon’s auto
rotation and nesting feature with HP- L/2
files helps you take full advantage of the
printer’s 44"- wide media capacity.
•Ink technology improves print durability:
Chemically engineered for improved
durability and adhesion, Canon’s unique
five-color Reactive Ink technology can
actually extend the life of your full-color
maps, schematics, and construction plans.
Even with the stress of constant handling,
writing, and display, ink stays put, so you
won’t need to spend time and money
reprinting large-format documents.
•Energy Savings: Engineered for efficiency
and reliability, these ENER Y STAR®
qualified printers draw only 190 watts
of power during use.
