Reliable, Efficient, Versatile

Exclusive Canon L-COA Image Processor

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 has a larger,

smoother color gamut than any other printer I’ve used.”

In today’s competitive market, a complete color-

managed high-efficiency workflow from capture

through output is a must. I shoot my Canon

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

not what I want. The Canon export module lets

me make changes, just like I used to in the dark-

room, without altering my

original file. And I can

easily catalog all of my

settings for consistency

and repeatability.

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 direct 16-bit printing 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.

and I embrace it!

— John Pinderhughes

Unrivaled Color Consistency

Color Stability Control System

The iPF6350 and IPF6300 incorporate a Color Stability Control System that ensures consistent color throughout the printer’s service life. The built-in system employs a precision multi-sensor inside the printer, calibrating in under 10 minutes and initiated from the printer’s control panel. Adjustments made with any media type are saved and automatically applied to all other supported media types and modes. The imagePROGRAF iPF6350 and IPF6300 are compatible with more than 35 different types of print media—including resin coated, canvas, etc.—from 0.08 to 1.5mm thick. Calibrated Canon imagePROGRAF printers deliver amazing consistency not only among output images but also among all calibrated printers across a work environment.

Extensive RIP Support

Most major third-party RIP (Raster Image Processor) providers will support imagePROGRAF printers. These printers, therefore, enable design studios and advertising agencies to output in-house prepress proofs along with exhibition-grade photographic images.

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.

Spectacular Color, Superb Tonal Detail, Archival Quality

Canon’s LUCIA Pigment Ink Set

In addition to traditional Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black inks, the Canon LUCIA set includes Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Red, Blue, Green, Gray, Photo Gray and Matte Black inks. The Red, Green, and Blue inks significantly improve saturation levels for the additive primary colors: Whereas typical inkjet printers are limited to a color gamut more closely associated with the smaller sRGB space, Canon imagePROGRAF printers with LUCIA inks deliver a color gamut very close to (and, in some instances, exceeding) the wider Adobe RGB space. And because the LUCIA ink set is based on pigment ink technology, prints are fade-resistant, ensuring long-lasting brilliance.

Extraordinary Print Quality

Improved Ink Formulations

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.

Canon-to-Canon Quality Starts with the EOS System

While Canon photo printers individually set the highest standards of performance in their respective categories, they are, in fact, key elements of the Canon Total Workflow System. To ensure the highest quality print from your Canon EOS Digital SLR camera, be sure to print on a Canon Professional Printer and use genuine Canon media and ink.

up to 90% compared to CCD sensors because CMOS sensors eliminate the need to transfer electrical charge. Unique to Canon CMOS sensors is a novel on-chip noise reduction system that ensures exceptionally clean, noise-free images. Canon semiconductor

EOS SLR Technology

Throughout the history of autofocus SLR photography, one name has remained synonymous with innovation: Canon EOS. Today, as digital imaging technologies take

center stage, Canon EOS continues to lead the way with a comprehensive range of both digital and film SLR cameras, more than 60 EF lenses, numerous Speedlite flashes, and an unsurpassed array of system accessories.

Canon CMOS Sensors

Proprietary Canon CMOS sensors convert and amplify signals at each photodiode before they are transferred to the image processor. Compared to CCD sensors, the Canon CMOS sensor can read out more data simultaneously at high speed using multiple channels, which dramatically improves camera responsiveness. Moreover, power consumption is reduced by

engineers have also successfully increased the fill factor to capture images with rich, beautiful color. CMOS sensors are also easily fabricated to full-frame 35mm dimensions, an important consideration for photographers who wish to make the best use of existing EF lens arsenals. The latest Canon CMOS Sensors are also designed to support the Live View Function, implemented in Canon EOS Digital SLR cameras to enable mirror-up image composition on the camera’s LCD or a remote monitor.

Autofocus Technology

Canon EOS Digital SLR cameras have consistently featured leading-edge AF technologies. Today, the top Canon EOS Digital SLR cameras use an extraordinary 45-Point High-Density Area AF system that provides not only the industry’s largest AF coverage area, but also the greatest range of control over focusing point selection. Canon EOS autofocus is fast, reliable, and versatile.

Unparalleled Exposure Control

Canon EOS Digital SLR cameras incorporate advanced exposure control systems, offering the photographer precise AE with the widest range of metering options. Full-frame Evaluative metering uses sensors with numerous zones in conjunction with focusing point data. Photographers can also choose CenterWeighted, Partial, or Spot metering.

Exclusive DIGIC Image Processor

Developed to maximize performance between the capture and recording stages of digital photography, the Canon DIGIC Image Processor employs proprietary signal-processing algorithms to dramatically enhance image quality and deliver natural renditions of bright, highsaturation subjects, and ensure more precise auto white balance. Top Canon EOS Digital SLR camera models use either DIGIC 4 or DIGIC III Image Processors to provide even greater data-processing capability, handling the

huge amount of data from the newest super-high-resolution CMOS sensors with tremendous speed. Moreover, card write speeds are faster, noise control is significantly expanded, and camera responsiveness has been further improved.

Wireless File Transmitter

The compact, versatile Wireless File Transmitter integrates with select Canon EOS Digital SLR cameras and provides the same degree of durability and weather resistance as the camera bodies. Wireless LAN system setup is simple with either Windows or Mac OS X operating systems, and more efficient built-in antenna enables wireless communication with host computers up to 492 ft. (150m)* away.

* With a large, high-performance antenna attached to the wireless LAN access point. With a large, high-performance external antenna connected to a wireless LAN access point receiver. Wireless distance range is dependent upon environmental conditions and other radio interference.

Canon EF Lenses

In many ways, an SLR is defined by the quality, breadth and scope of its associated system of lenses. From ultra-wide primes and zooms to the signature white telephoto lenses and numerous special purpose lenses such as fisheye, macro and TS-E (tilt-shift) lenses, the EF Lens family meets the needs of photographers of any stripe.

L-Series Lenses

Canon L-Series lenses are distinguished by a bold red ring around the outer barrel and valued for their sophisticated Canon technologies, edge-to-edge sharpness and accurate color. Select L-Series lenses are also sealed against dust and moisture, giving photographers the confidence to shoot in any condition.

Ultrasonic Motor

Canon USM (Ultrasonic Motor) lenses employ the minute vibrations created by piezoelectric ceramic elements for fast and silent focusing. USM lenses

also draw minimal power from the camera, ensuring longer battery life.

Optical Image Stabilizer

Canon Optical Image Stabilizer technology uses miniature gyro sensors and a high-speed microcomputer built into the lens that applies correction via a special stabilizing lens group. The Optical Image Stabilizer System in Canon lenses is optimized for each lenses’ focal length and characteristics, thus providing up to 4 stops of shake correction. The benefits of Canon's in-lens system are a steadier viewfinder image, improved autofocus, and steadier images.

Speedlite Technology

Canon Speedlites are the ideal flash source for Canon EOS Digital SLR cameras. They are technologically advanced to provide perfect exposure and illumination with just about any subject, yet operation is remarkably simple. The E-TTL II (Evaluative Through-The-Lens) flash exposure control mode, for example, incorporates distance information from compatible EF lenses to eliminate underexposure that can occur with highly reflective subjects or backgrounds.

Comprehensive System Accessories

The EOS System offers accessories designed to maximize capabilities and enhance the shooting experience. Photographers can choose from battery packs, remote controllers, and a wireless file transmitter, just to name a few examples.
