Technology Designed to Meet Professional Demands

Canon has created the REALiS line of multimedia projectors to meet the exacting demands of professionals in fields ranging from medical education to the fine arts. Used everywhere from corporate boards and conference rooms to classrooms, photo galleries, and houses of worship, from the largest venues to the most intimate spaces, REALiS projectors have the technology professionals need built right in. Incorporating LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) technology, genuine Canon optics and Canon’s high-accuracy color management system into our patented AISYS (Aspectual Illumination System) Optical Engine, Canon REALiS projectors are able to reproduce even the subtlest hues and color gradations. High resolution, bright illumination and quiet performance deliver compelling presentations that get the job done. For professional performance, trueto-life color reproduction and unmatched clarity, there is no substitute for REALiS.

The LCOS Advantage

LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) Technology delivers the highest standard in projector image quality. Lattice-free, seamless photo reproduction and smooth, film-like quality

video are projected with realistic colors and intricate detail down to the smallest text. Thanks to the fast response time of LCOS panels, high definition video leaps off the screen with impressive quality and integrity. The advantages of LCOS are easy to see for presenter and audience alike: images and video with rich color, deep contrast and sharp resolution.

Comparing Technologies

clarity, but allows Canon to develop a WUXGA LCOS projector with superb brightness and image quality, in addition to flexible operational functions, all in a conveniently compact, cost-effective package. In fact, newer notebook PCs already support native WUXGA, an ideal solution for today’s HD and Blu-Ray content.

Canon’s 1.5x Powered Zoom Lens has been engineered to accommodate LCOS reflective LCD panels. And, with our new 10:0 lens offset, REALiS projectors can now be pulled back even further without the image hitting the table or the ceiling. This minimizes the need for keystone correction.

The 1.7 Powered Zoom Lens projects a diagonal screen size range of 40" at a distance of 3.9', and 100" at 9.8'. With a maximum screen size of 300", REALiS projectors adapt to virtually any size venue. The incorporation of a dual-sided aspherical lens in the optical array suppresses distortion and keeps peripheral image distortion to an absolute minimum. This

enhanced resolution allows accurate reproduction of even the most highly detailed images.

Optional Lenses for a Variety of Applications

The REALiS WUX4000 Series offers three interchangeable high resolution lenses. All three lenses

have very low distortion, making them ideal for installations requiring multi-stacking, multi-screen resolution. In addition to the standard

1.5x Zoom Lens, users can choose a Long Focus Zoom Lens or an Ultra Wide Angle Lens to cover a wide range of applications and situations. All three lenses feature advanced Canon aspherical lens element technology, which dramatically reduces overall lens size while maintaining optical performance. As a result, all three lenses are similar in size and fit in the same space on the projector. This enables rental and staging companies to ship REALiS WUX 4000 Series projectors pre-assembled with lens. Consultants will also have an easier time designing cost-efficient installations.

increasing the distance between projector and screen. It is an excellent problem solver for short-distance projection situations, such as in meeting rooms, and for rear-projection applications.

Motorized Lens Shift

Motorized lens shift, available on the WUX4000 D and WUX4000 projectors, enables the vertical and horizontal position of the projected image to be adjusted using the projector’s control panel or remote control. Because the correction is performed by shifting the lens, the image can be raised or lowered and moved left or right without physically tilting the projector. This benefits installers who may have difficulty center-aligning the projector with the screen because of unforeseen obstacles. Moreover, unlike certain digital correction methods, lens shift does not degrade the image, so the quality of projected content remains uncompromised.

Proprietary Color Management

Canon Color Management System (

CMS ensures accurate color reproduction for an extended color space, while simultaneously compensating for color variances due to lighting differences. The result is true HD-quality color even in the toughest conditions. Professional image-makers can rely on REALiS projectors to deliver crucial color integrity.

Ease of Installation and Maintenance

With dimensions of 14.96" W x 16.92" D x

6.69" H and a weight of 18.7 lb., the REALiS

WUX4000 Series is easy to install in a wide variety of applications. The projector has been designed with intelligently located, easily accessible consumable parts to enhance both flexibility in mounting and ease of maintenance. The projector’s lamp and filter can be replaced from the back/side, and the PS element can be replaced through the top of the projector.

Removing/Replacing the WUX4000 PS Element

• Because of constant exposure to lamp heat, the optical block

of a projector breaks down in time.

• Replacing an LCD projector’s optical block could cost as

much as buying a new projector.

• Canon’s PS optical filter element can be changed by an

authorized service dealer or at a Canon service facility for a fraction of the cost, restoring the color output of the projector to near-factory condition.

Canon’s exclusive L-COA (Large format printer Common Architecture) image processor is the “brains” of the imagePROGRAF printer engines. Sophisticated algorithms and high-speed processing ensure rapid printing with the highest precision. Multiple tasks are processed on-board with simultaneous, parallel operation to ensure the most efficient processing of large amounts of data, ensuring the highest printing speed, highest output quality, and consistent color at all times.

Internal 80GB Hard Drive

The iPF9100, iPF8300 and iPF6350 each have a built-in 80GB hard disk drive to buffer and store print jobs. It frees up the host computer more quickly for other tasks. Multiple copies and reprints do not require the resending of data from the host computer. The printer can even perform unmanned overnight output of multiple jobs after the host computer has been shut down.

Fast, High-Precision Output

FINE Dual Print Head Technology

Canon’s FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) ultrahigh-density print head technology uses the latest semiconductor manufacturing techniques to guarantee the highest precision and consistency. It ensures large-format output of exceptional detail and tonality while delivering higher printing speeds.

Moreover, unlike conventional inkjet printers with single print heads, the imagePROGRAF printers employ an innovative dual print head design. Each print head has 15,360 nozzles, yielding over 30,000 nozzles. This not only makes extremely high output resolution possible, but also ensures more reliable printing at even faster speeds. The iPF9100 with its 60-inch wide carriage, for example, can output a full 36” x 48” color print in approximately five minutes.

“ The iPF8300 is twice as fast and

EOS Digital SLR camera RAW and work in 16-bit

color. With the iPF8300, I can now maintain that

high-bit-depth workflow without having to

“dumb down” the image to 8 bits for the printer.

Of course, I am still a visual person, and there

are times “perfect,” profile-matched color is

Uncompromised High-Speed Output

Canon engineers created ingenious export modules for imagePROGRAF prints, bypassing the operating system’s 8-bit restriction. The export module circumvents the operating system and is designed with a much more intuitive interface than printer drivers. Because the export module is independent from the operating system, it uses only Canon optimized algorithms resulting in higher quality prints. Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software offers numerous output enhancement features, such as layout templates, Soft Proof and Real Preview. Using DPP with Canon’s export modules for imagePROGRAF printers allows 16-bit processing from DPP and Adobe Photoshop CS/CS2/CS3/CS4 for true wide-dynamic-range workflow options from capture to output. Due to Automatic Color Stability Control, color is truer and smoother, print after print, even pale colors or pastels. Calibration takes less than 10 minutes and is automatically applied to all supported media types and print modes.

Extraordinary Black-and-White Prints

Superior Grayscale Reproduction

The imagePROGRAF printer LUCIA EX ink set uses three levels of black ink (Black/Matte Black, Gray and Photo Gray) to reproduce grayscale images. As a result, black-and-white images are reproduced with smooth, natural gradations and excellent highlight detail. These inks also assure an exceptionally high D-Max to produce crisp images with outstanding contrast.

Conventional inkjet printers must use color inks when printing black-and-white images because using black ink alone would result in grainy prints that exhibit poor tonality and reduced detail. The LUCIA EX ink set greatly reduces dependence on color inks for grayscale output, virtually eliminating metamerism and unwanted tinting.

The new LUCIA EX ink provides photographers 12 scratch- and fade-resistant color inks. With the ability to precisely achieve their desired results by producing more expressive and crisp blacks, smooth color gradations, LUCIA EX has the capability to reproduce the finest details even in the shadowed areas of photographs.

LUCIA EX pigment inks exhibit excellent short-term color drift (“dry-down”) behavior, which is critically important for color-managed workflows and in proofing applications. Resistant to damage from atmospheric ozone, LUCIA EX inks are well suited for urban environments where prints might be displayed unframed and exposed to ambient indoor air.

The LUCIA ink set comprises Gray and Photo Gray inks that assure even smoother, more accurate gradations from gray to dark gray to black. The LUCIA inks are renowned for their ability to reproduce tonal detail, significantly reducing graininess and bronzing.

Reduced Bronzing

Depending on media type and image content, an inkjet print may exhibit bronzing accompanied by an iridescent surface luster. While bronzing is noticeable only at acute viewing angles, reducing the effect produces unmistakable improvement in print quality. Canon has successfully reduced bronzing in the LUCIA ink system with a proprietary binding polymer technology. Printed images are more vibrant and better reveal subtle detail.

Using advanced pigment ink technology, the Canon LUCIA ink set delivers outstanding archival characteristics. Prints are exceptionally fade-resistant and exhibit excellent color stability, light-fastness, gas-fastness, and water resistance.

FINE Dual Print Head Technology

Thanks to unique Canon FINE print head technology,

photographers no longer need to choose between print speed and image quality. imagePROGRAF printers employ an advanced FINE dual print head design— each head has 15,360 nozzles, yielding over 30,000 nozzles. This not only delivers extremely high output resolution, but also ensures faster, more reliable printing. The large number of nozzles also substantially increases print head life so that the printer requires less frequent maintenance. And because the print heads are user-replaceable, maintenance

can be performed with minimal downtime and no costly service calls.

Automatic Black Ink Selection

The LUCIA ink set includes both Black and Matte Black. Black ink is optimized for glossy-

surface media, while Matte Black ink improves contrast with Fine Art papers. imagePROGRAF printers keep both black ink

cartridges loaded on separate printing channels at all times and automatically selects one or the other

sophisticated design eliminates wasted ink and saves time.

Wide Output Media Selection

imagePROGRAF printers include support for a wide range of paper and specialty output media, such as RC photo, fine art and co-branded papers. Versatile media feeding, including a roll feed, enables the printer to handle media thicknesses from 0.07mm to 1.5mm (iPF5100).

Moreover, the Media Configuration Tool supplied with the printer enables the user to update both the driver and the printer itself, using a periodically published database,

to accommodate new media as they become available. Custom ICC output profiles for individual media will also be available via download, making the imagePROGRAF printers ideal for color-managed workflows. (Profiles for the iPF9100, iPF8300, iPF6350, iPF6300 and iPF5100 are available online now.)

Exclusive L-COA Image Processor

Canon L-COA (Large format printer Common Architecture) technology lies at the heart of the dedicated image processor in imagePROGRAF printers. A proprietary chip architecture, sophisticated algorithms and high-speed multitasking capability ensure rapid printing with precise control over the 12-color ink delivery system. In addition to assuring both the highest printing speed and highest output quality at all times, the L-COA

16-Bit Printing Support

While conventional inkjet printers are designed to handle only 8-bit-per-channel image data, the imagePROGRAF printers provide advanced support for high-bit-depth files. A supplied plug-in enables high-bitdepth images to be printed directly from Digital Photo Professional ver.3.1 and later. Also included is an export module for printing 16-bit files directly from Adobe the photographer with high-bit-depth workflow options from capture to output. Images are reproduced with smoother tonal gradations for greater photorealism. Dynamic-range-related problems, such as posterization and banding, are significantly reduced. You can now realize that high depth color you captured with your digital camera in your wide format without additional software.

Advanced Connectivity

The imagePROGRAF printers are equipped with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed and Ethernet interfaces. A FireWire (IEEE 1394) interface is also available as an option for the iPF5100 and iPF9100. They also feature excellent multi-platform support, enabling seamless integration with a wide variety of hardware and workflow configurations.

PRO PRINTER TECHNOLOGY

Fast, Spectacular, Affordable Desktop Photo Printing

A professional-quality printer capable of gallery-grade output up to 13 x 19 inches on a wide variety of media, the affordable Canon PIXMA Pro series printers have no peer when it comes to image quality, speed and value.

10-color Pigment Ink System (Pro9500 Mark II)

Featuring the same LUCIA pigment ink found in the imagePROGRAF series printers, the PIXMA Pro9500 Mark II’s 10-pigment ink set produces professional-quality, archival prints. The Gray, Photo Black and Matte Black ink

produce monochrome photographs of unrivaled quality on fine art and glossy photo paper. Gray ink reduces grain, banding and metamerism and practically eliminates color shifts. Unlike black ink that increases contrast, matte black ink increases black density on fine art paper while maintaining detail in shadows. With 10 individual ink tanks, users can replace a single color, reducing waste and saving money. The Pro9500 Mark II’s ink is less sensitive to light and environmental factors. Therefore, prints have incredibly smoother gradations and are of archival quality.

The PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II features Canon’s highly refined dye-based ChromaLife100 ink system. This advanced 8-color system reproduces a much wider color gamut than conventional inkjet printers,

delivering a color range that rivals positive film. The dye-based ink set further ensures vividly brilliant colors and a high-luster surface finish that enhances the beauty of printed images.

Long-lasting Photos

Canon’s ChromaLife100 ink technology also delivers prints that withstand the test of time. Photos printed on the PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II will resist fading for up to 100 years when kept in albums. When combined with genuine Canon photo media, prints typically exhibit 30-year light-fastness and 10-year gas-fastness.
