The iPF SE Series is an ideal solution for anyone
looking to create eye-popping posters, banners,
and infographics. With these types of users in
mind, Canon has designed the iPF SE Series to
be integrated seamlessly with its PosterArtist
Lite software. This easy-to-use software is
template-driven and includes predesigned
templates, royalty-free images, and clip art.
Users can create professional posters, banners,
and signage in just four easy steps–for almost any
application! A new image correction function for
PosterArtist Lite automatically corrects image colors
and enables a "cut out" function where selected
areas of an image, such as backgrounds, can be
removed for enhanced customization. A free version
of PosterArtist Lite comes with every iPF8400SE
and iPF6400SE printer, and a full version of
PosterArtist is available for purchase. The full
version includes some added value features such
as an expanded library of templates and variable
data printing.
