Canon innovation delivers the right solution for production printing environments
The new S-Series production printing systems are an important part of the impressive imagePROGRAF solutions
line-up. Built around an innovative 8-color configuration, high-density print-heads, and the high-speed L-COA
processor–these are the fastest Graphic Arts large-format printers ever brought to market by Canon. Available
in two sizes–the 60” iPF9000S model and the 44” iPF8000S model–these production-grade printers are more
than 40% faster than any other imagePROGRAF Graphic Arts printer, making them ideal for digital print service
providers, in-plants, and other professionals who need to increase the capacity, productivity, and versatility of
their large-format printing services.
Built specifically to meet the demands of the highly competitive production printing market segment, S-Series printers are
fully integrated large-format printing solutions engineered to produce more, in less time, with a lower total cost of operation.
What makes the imagePROGRAF S-Series printers unlike other large-format printers?
