LAB TEST
Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710
Buyers LaBoratory LAB TEST REPORT—European Edition
Test Environment
The product has been tested in BLI’s 10,000-square-foot test lab, in an environment
monitored by a Honeywell Temp/RH chart recorder, which replicates typical ofce
conditions.
Test Equipment
BLI’s dedicated test network, consisting of Windows 2000 servers, Windows XP and
2000 workstations, 10/100BaseTX network switches and CAT5 cabling.
Test Duration
Products are tested for two months, a portion of which consists of a durability
test during which the product is run at its manufacturer-rated maximum monthly
volume, with daily volumes evenly divided between print and copy mode over the
course of the test.
Tested Configuration
BLI evaluated the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF710 36" wide-format printer with the
optional Colourtrac CX40 Scanning System.
Test Procedures
The test methods and procedures employed by BLI in its lab testing include BLI’s
proprietary procedures and industry-standard test procedures. In addition to a
number of proprietary test documents, BLI uses an industry standard Katun test
original for evaluating black image quality and test suites to evaluate applications
compatibility. In addition to a visual observation, colour print quality is tested
using the ANSI standard IT8 Colour Test Target, which is read using the Minolta
CM503I Spectrophotometer, and samples are analyzed using the CIE XY Chromaticity
Diagram. In addition, density of black and colour output is measured using an X-Rite
428 Densitometer.
