Canon debuts four new large format printers

Canon builds on its large format offering with four new imagePROGRAF printers.

Available from July this year, the 24in imagePROGRAF iPF650 and iPF655 and the 36in iPF750 and iPF755 (pictured below) models have been specially designed to meet the demands of the geographical information system; computer-aided design; architecture, engineering, and construction; reprographics; and other technical document markets, these new space-saving printers produce a range of complex, technical documents.

According to Jeremy Plint, marketing manager, office imaging products at Canon, the new printers further the company’s presence in the construction and engineering spheres. “The launch of these printers raises the number of Canon machines in the CAD and GIS arena to seven and indicates our on-going push to increase market share in the A1 and A0 technical sectors,” he said.

“By offering versatile, compact models which maintain our impressive image quality, we're giving users access to technology that enables them to take their technical outputs to the highest possible standard.”

Built for speed, quality and ease of use, the printers are designed to simplify large format printing.? On-board support for HP-GL/2 and HP-RTL files gives each model the capability to meet the demands of any professional with a need for printing complex full-colour renderings, CAD drawings, GIS maps and other large format graphics quickly, easily and with remarkable detail.

The iPF650/iPF655 machines can print an A1 image in 30 seconds, while the iPF750/iPF755 printers can output an A0 sheet in 48 seconds.
