PRINTING INNOVATION, THE CANON WAY By James Kara Murat.
Canon has once again brought printing to another level with its two new releases for their imagePROGRAF line. The imagePROGRAF iPF9100 and imagePROGRAF iPF8100 were introduced to the world as a late 2007 release. These two top-of-the-line printers will replace the older Canon imagePROGRAF models, iPF9000 and iPF8000.
The iPF9100 and iPF8100 make use of Canon's newest twelve-color ink system which shows off the company's exclusive Canon printer inks recently redesigned for even more efficient monochrome prints. LUCIA pigment printer inks feature accurate color reproduction, better image quality, a wide color gamut, enhanced print life, and greater media compatibility. LUCIA pigment printer inks ensure less grainy images with the range of colors it offers. The iPF9100 and iPF8100 are equipped with LUCIA ink's newest monochrome inks, Gray, Photo Gray, Black and Matte Black. These inks will help lessen "bronzing" during printing, an occurrence that gives printed colors a metallic or bronze-like hue when viewed at different angles.
Canon's newest innovation with its L-COA controller is integrated in the iPF9100 and the iPF8100. L-COA has proven its worth as a controller by processing files of high resolution speedily and accurately. This is maximized in the Canon iPF9100 and Canon iPF8100 with the L-COA's new intelligent screen dot pattern coupled with precise ink drop control. Visible dot graininess problems are resolved to the fullest with Canon's latest Canon Image Series printer models.
