Canon Australia are launching two new imagePROGRAF devices which will deliver more efficient printing of large format technical documents for design and engineering professionals.
Replacing the iPF755 and iPF750, the two new 36-inch ImagePROGRAF devices - the iPF765 and iPF760 – introduce a number of features designed to save time and streamline workflow. These features include a new horizontal stacking basket for A1 plots to ensure prints stay organised and flat once they have been printed and, on the iPF765, a 250 GB hard drive (of which 32 GB is dedicated file-processing memory) to streamline workflow in a networked environment or those printing larger-sized files with complex images.
Developed for use by professionals in a variety of different markets including Computer-Aided Design (CAD); Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC); Geographical Information System (GIS) and other technical document professional areas, the new models produce large technical documents or posters in colour and include software utilities for users in the retail signage industry as well as general office environments. The ability to quickly print technical documents up to 2400 x 1200 dots-per-inch (dpi) with precise lines can provide a tremendous professional advantage for organizations that rely on this speed and accuracy to stay relevant in a competitive market.
"The update to the imagePROGRAF printers represents Canon's dedication to companies in the large format printing market," said James Casey, Sales and Marketing Manager, LFP. "Canon has taken an award-winning solution in the imagePROGRAF series and listened to our customers on how we could improve it. With the flatbed stacking we have now enhanced the user's productivity and efficiency making these devices a natural fit to meet customer demands."
The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF765 and iPF760 printers are designed with the everyday workgroup in mind, with an easy installation option against a wall to save precious space in an organization's workspace. These ENERGY STAR-certified models maximise productivity and ease-of-use with media loading and ink replacement from the front of the machine and a sub-ink tank system that ensures uninterrupted printing.
The new imagePROGRAF models ship with Printer Driver (PC only) Optimization Module for AutoCAD and also have a new interface lock system that enhances the security functions and provides an option for administrative control to determine who can have access. Enhanced accounting functions are also included to collect printer job log information such as client ID, ink and media consumption, media type and output size. Users are able to efficiently and easily obtain estimated printing costs from this technology as an easy way to track in-house usage or for billing customers. A Print Plug-in for Microsoft Office also ships with the new models, enabling users of any skill level to create large format printouts of documents, images or illustrations that were created by Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint programs.
