Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6450 24in Printer

The iPF6450 A1/24” large format printer features Canon’s new LUCIA-EX 12-colour pigment lightfast ink system delivering outstanding accuracy, rich colours and exceptional versatility by addressing the exacting needs of production and proofing environments as well as the specialist photography applications.  A new formula of pigments offers excellent colour reproduction and increases the colour gamut by around 20% over previous LUCIA versions.  The Canon ink system coupled with improved image processing technology delivers prints with denser, sharper blacks and smooth colour gradations, and finest photographic details in the shadow areas.  The new inks are designed with an innovative polymer structure that results in greater scratch resistance and protection from colour fading while also reducing bronzing to ensure durable, stable output. The ink system also delivers higher print registration accuracy for precise text and fine lines which allows the iPF6450 to function as a precise proofing device.

Producing 2400 x 1200 dpi resolution, the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6450 prints A1 gloss in less than 3.7 minutes. Canon’s L-COA image processing technology combined with Gigabit Ethernet compatibility ensure stunning high speed reproductions enabling fast data transfer even for data-heavy files or high volume print jobs.  The ImagePROGRAF iPF6450 has a built in 250GB HDD, enabling highly efficient printing of complex jobs, making it easier to handle larger amounts of data, store larges print jobs and reprint them easily without resending from a PC.

Canon’s imagePROGRAF iPF6450 incorporates a number of productivity tools.  The iPF6450 features Hot Swap 130ml or 300ml ink tanks, available in both 130ml and 300ml sizes, Hot Swap ink tanks feature a sub-ink tank which allows for non-stop printing, even during ink tank replacement.  An automated email alert lets you know when it’s time to change ink tanks, replace media or notifies you when a job has finished, making this printer ideal for the production environments by supporting continued productivity where it counts most.

The new optional spectrophotometer supports automated, high precision colour management with third-party RIP solutions.   The spectrophotometer provides rapid colour control measurement and schedulable colour checking, which allows for convenient and stringent quality across all jobs.  The spectrophotometer has a fast measurement, switchable UV filter supporting the new XRGA standard.  The spectrophotometer delivers optimal colour consistency between multiple 12-colour printers using the Calibration Link feature.  Calibration Link allows the spectrophotometer to provide a unified solution to all 12-colour imagePROGRAF large format printers.  Needing to be only installed on the iPF6450 at one location, users can centrally control the colour management of multiple 12-colour imagePROGRAF units installed in other sites, optimising output and ensuring uniformity of colour.
