Canon Europe, leader in digital imaging technology, has announced the launch of two new large format printers (LFPs), the imagePROGRAF iPF710 (A0 – 36”) and imagePROGRAF iPF610 (A1 – 24”). Created for the CAD, GIS (geographic imaging systems) and general large format office sectors, the LFPs are the fastest in their class for these markets.

The imagePROGRAF iPF610 is able to deliver a full colour A1 print on plain paper in fast mode in just 33 seconds, while the imagePROGRAF iPF710 can produce an A0-sized output in only 56 seconds. Both machines have HP-GL/2 and RTL compatibility, as well as a HDI driver, which means they are compatible with leading applications used by GIS and CAD professionals.

Additionally, the new LFPs come with Canon’s newly launched printhead warranty. The warranty means that in the rare eventuality that anything should go wrong with a Canon printhead, customers are guaranteed a replacement.

The new LFPs also incorporate Canon’s high-speed LCOA image processor that enables faster and more accurate image processing. Additionally, the imagePROGRAF iPF710 and iPF610 include Canon’s five-colour reactive ink system preventing bleeding and ensuring solid image consistency and quieter operation to ensure reduced noise levels. Both machines have a large LCD panel for ease of use.

The imagePROGRAF iPF710 and iPF610 replace the imagePROGRAF iPF700 and iPF600 and are available at Canon’s local agent Avantech Limited, 212 Cannon Road, Sta Venera; they can be viewed on the website www.avantech.com.mt
