consumption 10% to 20%.
•Low-maintenance, long-life
print-heads are built to last!
•Low operating power requirements
reduce overhead costs.
The iPF9000S 60” large-format printer and iPF8000S 44” large-format printer are production-grade
workhorses that sacrifice nothing when it comes to print quality or performance.
Two print-heads
ensure fast output
L-COA Image Processor
8-color inks for
ultra-high-quality imaging

Print more in less time: it’s a winning formula
Advanced technologies are seamlessly inte-
grated into a single, exceptionally efficient
production printing system engineered to
produce more high-quality work, at a lower
cost and in less time.
NEW PRINT MODE–REDUCES INK
CONSUMPTION
The new Economy Print Mode produces
1200 x1200 dpi output at 211 ft.2/hr.* on
coated and uncoated paper stocks while
reducing ink consumption by 10% to 20%!
This new feature regulates the use of Photo
Cyan and Photo Magenta inks to produce
high-quality output at a lower total cost!
HIGH-SPEED IMAGE PROCESSING
Driving data to the iPF9000S and iPF8000S
printers and optimizing print functions is
Canon’s advanced L-COA processor. This
intelligent, high-speed processor manages
the high-volume data required for display-
quality, large-format graphics and directs
the print engine with speed and accuracy.
E CEPTIONAL QUALITY WITH
UNPRECEDENTED SPEED
Two large, 1.07-inch high-density print-heads
eject tiny 4pl ink droplets through 30,720
nozzles to produce high-quality output–up to
2400 x1200 dpi–with unprecedented speed.
An innovative ink channel configuration
accelerates print efficiency by distributing
the eight colors of ink across the two print-
heads for better ink coverage with each
pass–and greater productivity–without sacri-
ficing image quality.
BUILT-IN 80GB HARD DRIVE
ncreased hard drive storage space at the
printer increases productivity by relieving
workload from the host PC while providing
more capacity for print job data storage
and retrieval.
DURABLE LUCIA PIGMENT INKS
Each of the S-Series printers feature eight
colors of LUC A ink (Cyan, Photo Cyan,
Magenta, Photo Magenta, Yellow, Black,
Matte Black, and Gray) for a dynamic color
gamut with a depth and tone that’s ideal
for production graphics applications.
BORDERLESS PRINTING
Borderless printing reduces trimming and
offline finishing requirements. Output
that’s ready to use straight from the printer
means that more jobs can be completed
in less time.
UNINTERRUPTED PRINTING
Large-capacity 330ml or 700ml ink tanks
and a sub-tank system that feeds the
print-heads mean long print runs can be
completed without interruption, and inks
can be replenished on-the-fly without
stopping printing.
LOW TOTAL COST OF OPERATION
Engineered for efficiency and reliability,
imagePROGRAF S-Series printers draw
only 190 watts of power during use. These
low-maintenance workhorses are equipped
with self-cleaning, long-life print-heads that
reduce the total cost of operation.
C PC M PM YBK MBK GY
*OS: Windows®XP SP2, CPU: Pentium®4 3.2GHz, RAM: 1GB, Application: Adobe®Photoshop®7.0, nterface: USB 2.0 Hi-Speed, Data used:
SO/J S SC D No.5, Output image size: A0 (827 x 1033.8mm). Measured by Canon nc. Each print time does not include data transfer time.
The print speed may vary depending on the data volume and size, PC, application, software, and interface.

There’s little room for error in the highly
competitive production printing marketplace.
That’s why S-Series printers come equipped
with some of the most advanced quality
control functions available in the industry.
BUILT-IN CALIBRATION FOR PRECISION,
CONTROL, AND SUPERIOR RESULTS
When it comes to producing accurate
reprints or managing output across multiple
printers, the S-Series’ built-in calibration
function helps to ensure that you’ll get
the results you expect.
Unlike the complex and time-consuming
color calibration normally required in profes-
sional settings, a single process enables
easy reset back to original, optimal factory
settings across all the printer’s media types–
in just minutes. This easy-to-use feature
helps compensate for adverse environmental
conditions while providing a predictable
platform for color management and consis-
tent color reproduction.
KYUANOS: CANON’S NE T-GENERATION
COLOR MATCHING PLATFORM
Once again at the forefront of the industry,
Canon has developed Kyuanos, a new high-
precision color matching engine. This under-
lying technology enables new functionality,
such as Ambient Light Adjustment, and
supports richer color expression across a
wider spectrum of input and output formats.
MEDIA ROLL DETECTION SYSTEM
Avoid mismatching media types or running
out in the middle of a job. The media roll
detection system verifies the media type
loaded and tracks how much is remaining
on the roll. Media information is automati-
cally printed (in text and bar code) directly
on the roll before it’s removed from the
printer. The next time the roll is loaded, the
system will read the bar code and apply
the information.
