Canon U.S.A. Updates Large Format Printers

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. – Canon U.S.A. Inc. unveiled four new 36-inch imagePROGRAF large format models – the iPF765, iPF765 MFP, iPF760 and iPF760 MFP. Each device has a new horizontal stacking basket for 24-inch-by-36-inch plots, ensuring prints stay organized and flat once they have been printed. To create a one-piece solution, the imagePROGRAF MFP printers are equipped with a new integrated stand, allowing the printer and scanner to be attached. In addition, both new imagePROGRAF iPF765 models have a 250 GB hard drive (of which 32 GB is dedicated file-processing memory) to streamline the workflow for a networked environment or for those printing larger-sized files with complex images.

Both the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF765 MFP and iPF760 MFP imaging systems provide a wide range of features and workflow solutions making for an extraordinary value to many different types of printing environments. In addition to the new integrated stand, both models feature the ability to use a new swivel monitor mounting system for easy maneuvering of the monitor toward the front of the printer. Each printer ships with the most-recent SmartWorks MFP software, which has all the tools a customer needs to easily print, copy, scan or edit large format technical documents. The system also features a Ci C40 color scanner with a 40-inch scan width for A0, D and architectural E-size scans and true 600dpi optical resolution. The ability to quickly print technical documents up to 2,400-by-1,200 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 Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Marketing, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A. "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, iPF765 MFP, iPF760 and iPF760 MFP 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 maximize 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.
