ADVANTAGES
The 60" iPF9400S printer features advanced printing technologies that deliver consistent,
high-quality imaging while increasing overall productivity.
MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY
By distributing eight colors through a 12-channel
print-head, this iPF printer achieves blazing
speeds and high production performance,
without sacrificing image quality. The sub-ink
tank system allows for on-the-fly ink replacement
to help ensure long, uninterrupted print runs.
Finally, with the ability of borderless printing
up to 60", trimming and off-line finishing
requirements are reduced.
LOW COST OF OPERATION
To minimize your per-print cost, Canon’s Fast Print
mode produces 1200 x 1200 dpi output while
reducing ink consumption by 10% to 20%.* For
quick check plots, utilize the Fast Print mode with
the Economy Printing option to help reduce total
ink consumption by approximately 50%* on select
media. And, the Accounting Manager feature
accurately tracks job data and calculates printing
costs to help manage expenses.
HIGH-QUALITY IMAGING
Produce vibrant colors and expressive tones with
Canon’s 8-color LUCIA EX ink set. This ink set
has better scratch resistance, reduced bronzing,
and a 20% wider color gamut than the previous
generation of ink. The new printer includes an
upgraded, built-in multi-sensor designed to
offer even more precise calibration and color
matching. For high-precision imaging, two
advanced one-inch print-heads output a superfine
4pl ink droplet at up to a full 2400 x 1200 dpi
resolution to reproduce details with exceptional
accuracy and clarity.
VERSATILITY
To streamline your workflow, Canon’s Media
Configuration Tool opens the door to a wider
selection of media options, allowing users to
input custom profiles. With built-in calibration,
ensure color consistency on profiled media and
create a stable, predictable printing platform
for color reproduction. The Microsoft®Office
Plug-in (PC only) and the gallery wrap feature
give users the tools to create and output
impressive, large-format gallery wraps as
well as signs and banners.
Canon’s fastest graphic arts printers, the
S-Series, deliver the performance and versatility
you need to produce profitable, high-quality
output in less time.
With four lines of imagePROGRAF solutions
available, Canon has the answer for your large-
format needs.
