Canon Plotter Features & Advantages
Flat Stacker / Basket
The integrated stacker basket provides the capability to neatly stack up to twenty-24 x 36-inch plain paper prints. The stacking option can be enabled or disabled depending on preference.
Interface Lock
The interface lock system of these new Canon plotters enhances the security functions on the printer and provides an option for administrative control to determine who has access to the printer. This feature allows the user to password protect the USB 2 and Ethernet connections which allows for the restriction of these ports.
High-Speed Printing with new Canon plotters
Output an 24 x36 sized drawing in approximately 30 seconds. When you need to keep projects moving forward and meet deadlines, this kind of speed is critical. Powering these incredible print speeds is Canon's L-COA (Large Format Printer Common Architecture) print controller, driving the imagePROGRAF print engine to lay down ink with exceptional speed and precision. This unique, high-speed processor enables the print system to process large volumes of data while optimizing output of complex high-color GIS images and architectural renderings for maximum readability and color accuracy.
Space Saving, Environmentally Conscious Design
This Canon plotter printer was designed to be space-saving and environmentally conscious. This printer carries a small footprint with fully front-accessible operation for flush wall installation, to fit into almost any environment. Made with less plastic, and reduced CO2 emissions, this canon plotter model has earned ENERGY STAR qualification and draws only 140 watts of power during use.
Productivity: Print Longer without Interruption
Canon's unique sub-ink tank system means you can replace ink on-the-fly without stopping the printer. For long print runs, a high-capacity media basket comes standard with this printer. And its highly durable self-propelled dual rotary cutter allows for even faster printing of multi-page jobs.
Precision Printing: High-Density PF-04 Print Head
Engineered for speed and advanced image production, this canon plotter printer boasts Canon's PF-04 print-head technology to lay down ink with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The PF-04 printhead incorporates a nozzle orifice shape to reduce satellite ink, producing cleaner lines and text and minimizing mist. The high-precision, high-density print head, with a total of 15,360 nozzles, lays down 4 picoliter-size ink droplets that produce sharp detail and excellent image quality. The result is consistently accurate 2400 x 1200 dpi output with fine lines that are accurate to ±0.10% and as thin as 0.02mm.
Accounting Manager
Tracks how much ink and media is being consumed when printing. Costs can be assigned to ink and paper to determine expenses based on “Cost of goods”. The user can also input a variable cost that will be added to the total of the print cost. The data is exportable to a .csv format for Microsoft Excel so the data can be used for billing purposes. Features include:
- Job Cost (ink, Media and variable cost inputted by user)
- Ink Consumed per Job*
- Media Consumed per Job
- Job Completion time
- And more
- Ink usage is estimate, and error tolerance is ±15%
Economy Print Mode
Reduce total ink consumption by utilizing the Economy Print Mode for producing draft prints on select media. This feature regulates the use of all inks to produce quick check plots while minimizing the cost per print.
Reactive Ink System
Ideal for technical applications, Canon's 5-color dye/pigment Reactive Ink technology utilizes four highly colorfast dye inks for producing bold, expressive color, plus two channels of matte black ink for printing precise lines, smooth curves and small text on technical and office documents. These Canon inks provide superior adhesion to media, scratch and marker resistance and ensure minimal "bleeding" between colors and text. Even small text printed on colored backgrounds or on uncoated technical papers is crisp and legible.
Canon Plotter Printer Driver
These Windows® and Macintosh® drivers incorporate simplified page setup options, one-touch borderless printing, expanded color settings, and much more into a printer driver that is intuitive and easy-to-operate while still giving even the most advanced users the tools needed to stay productive.
