image PROGRAF iPF/8300 (12-Colour)

Main Features

The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF8300 Large Format Printer accepts media as wide as 44" (112cm). This printer uses Canon's re-formulated 12-color LUCIA EX pigment ink set to yield a large color spectrum thus increasing the achievable color gamut by approximately 20% from the previous imagePROGRAF 12-color series, and can achieve over 90% coverage of Pantone colors.

The iPF8300 has an Ethernet interface for convenient networking, and is equipped with a large 80GB hard drive which provides high volume printing and streamlined workflows. The hard drive also allows faster processing of large files plus the ability to reprint jobs directly from the printer.

Canon has updated its drivers for this printer to include two high-precision printing modes, one for photos and one for text and fine lines. Together they deliver unsurpassed quality that could not be achieved with previously available modes. The drivers also allow borderless printing on roll media.

The iPF8300 comes with an array of print plug-ins and productivity software which help take your printed output to the high levels that photo professionals expect. The Print Plug-In for Adobe Photoshop is an export module allowing 16-bit image processing, preserving the expanded color spectrum and high gradation of the original file. The Media Configuration Tool provides the ability to make adjustments to printer settings for exceptional output with third party media. With Poster Artist Lite poster creation software you can quickly and easily produce beautiful large format prints in four easy steps.
