ADVANTAGES
SPEED
The iPF785/780 and iPF685/680 printers offer speeds
that have never been seen before on previous Canon
imagePROGRAF large-format printer models. In their
fastest mode (Economy Mode), the 36” iPF785/780
printers are capable of reproducing 24” x 36” Arch
D-sized prints in approximately 21 seconds! The 24”
iPF685/680 printers can reproduce 24” x 36” Arch
D-sized prints in approximately 25 seconds!
INK
A newly formulated Magenta ink helps improve the
clarity and vibrancy of red fine lines, text, and images
in many technical and poster prints. The color gamut
has also increased in the orange to red areas when
compared to previous models. From a productivity
perspective, the printers now support ink tank sizes
of 300 ml to help lower the cost per print. The included
sub-ink-tank system allows for users to use all the ink
that’s available in a tank before replacement is needed.
It also allows for on-the-fly swapping of ink tanks,
should one run out during the middle of a print job.
ADDED FEATURES
All four models include the flat stacker/basket,
previously seen on only the iPF76x Series models.
This feature provides the capability to neatly stack
up to twenty 24” x 36” plain paper prints and can
be enabled or disabled based on user preference.
Also included on the iPF785 and iPF685 models is a
320 GB hard drive, allowing for the storage of up to 500
print jobs, the creation of individual user mail boxes,
and improved print processing while falling under U.S.
Department of Defense requirements (DoD 5220.22-M).
SOFTWARE
Enhancements to the line-up of imagePROGRAF
software solutions will help improve printing workflow
and management.
