The LUCIA ink system coupled with improved image processing technology produces smooth gradations, minimal bronzing, enhanced black reproduction and graduation expression in dark areas. Designed for maximum productivity and consistently spectacular results, the iPF6100 is built to save valuable time and effort while delivering ultra-high quality, durable, scratch resistant photographic prints, proofs, and fine-art reproductions.

Producing 2400 x 1200 dpi resolution, the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6100 prints A1 gloss in less than 4 minutes and A1 drafts in 67 seconds. Canon’s L-COA image processing technology combined with Ethernet compatibility ensure stunning high speed enabling fast data transfer even for data-heavy files or high volume print jobs. The iPF6100 features a built-in colour density sensor to optimise output, adjusting the ink levels depending on the media being used, and ensuring consistent and accurate colour reproduction. For highly efficient workflow and productivity, the iPF6100 includes a 3-way media feeding system which provides flexibility for using different media from canvas to glossy stocks ranging between 0.07mm and 1.5mm thickness. Borderless printing minimizes off-line trimming, saving time and money and Automatic Skew Correction allows for unattended printing by automatically adjusting for any skew in orientation and feeds the paper/media correctly.

More on Canon imagePROGRAF proprietary technologies

Canon imagePROGRAF large format printers use a number of advanced Canon proprietary technologies. FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print-head technology and dual print head design features a total of 30,720 nozzles into just two 1” high density print heads. Bi-directional printing design of the imagePROGAF printers means print times are significantly faster than conventional print systems which require multiple passes for each line to compensate for uneven droplet size and placement on the paper. An innovative ink-nozzle manufacturing method results in precisely uniform 4 picoliter droplets resulting in 2400 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi) resolution.

Canon’s unique LUCIA pigment, lightfast ink system incorporates 12 colours and superfine 4-pl (picoliter) ink droplets ensuring a wide colour gamut, smooth gradation, reduced graininess and reduced bronzing. Canon’s LUCIA ink system delivers exceptionally accurate colours by including both RGB and CMYK. The 12 colour ink system enables economical printing because there is less need to blend colours (such as magenta and yellow to create red) and so less ink is required. Two grey inks are included, further reducing the need to blend colours and keeping costs down. LUCIA ink systems have an innovative polymer structure that results in exceptional scratch resistance and protection from colour fading, while reducing bronzing to ensure durable, stable output. LUCIA ink systems have an innovative polymer structure that result in exceptional scratch resistance and protection from colour fading, while reducing bronzing to ensure durable, stable output for over 100 years.

Canon’s advanced L-COA (Large Format printer Common Architecture)
image processor delivers faster high-quality output and print optimization. L-COA helps your printer carry out the most complex print jobs – where files can often exceed 200MB – with ease.

Kyuanos, a next generation colour management system is featured in the imagePROGRAF printer driver and the optional PosterArtist 2009 software. Kyuanos technology delivers output suitable for different viewing conditions such as fluorescent lights, incandescent lights, or sunlight. colour space for 16-bit and 32-bit formats that allows for maximum input and output performance without colour space restrictions. This enables the reproduction of exceptionally vivid colors with rich gradation Users can select the type of lighting under which a print will be displayed; the colours in the final print are then automatically adjusted to ensure that the displayed result looks just the way the photographer intended.

Canon’s Advanced Colour Calibration is a powerful colour calibration system ensuring the most stable colour reproduction attainable. In conventional systems, changing print heads may cause a minute variation in print output, due to the density characteristics of the print head. With Canon’s Advanced Colour Calibration, a multi-sensor measures variations in density on a printed calibration chart and then automatically applies any appropriate adjustments to ensure an exact match for long–term consistency.
