Canon imagePROGRAF

The Canon imagePROGRAF printer series has been developed by Canon Inc. specifically with high-quality printing of photographic and fine art and contract-proofing in mind. From a very early stage of development, GMG and Canon formed a strong cooperation in the field of color management. Together, both companies have been able to achieve impressive results.

With GMG DotProof or GMG FlexoProof, you can be sure to take full advantage of the latest printing technology. With a GMG DotProof XG or GMG FlexoProof XG license, you can fully exploit the extended color space of the Canon LUCIA EX inks with additional Red, Green, and Blue for producing highest quality halftone proofs with highly realistic spot color simulations.

Printer features

• This high-quality printer prints a very large color space by using Canon LUCIA EX Ink with additional Red, Green, and Blue inks.
• Canon imagePROGRAF iPFx3x0, iPFx4x0 can print 12 colors (12c) in total: Cyan, Photo Cyan, Magenta, Photo Magenta, Yellow, Photo Gray, Gray, Photo Black, Matte Black, Red, Green, Blue. Depending on the selected media type, either Photo Black (PK) or Matte Black (MK) is used. [Preinstalled print modes based on the GMG Driver state the used ink set in the print mode name.]
• 4 picoliter ink droplets ensure the smoothest color gradations, the highest resolution and accuracy.
• Prints show an excellent scratch resistance.
• The Canon imagePROGRAF iPF 6450 series is equipped with an integrated measuring device from X-Rite. Together with GMG AutoCali Wizard, printer calibration becomes very easy and fully automated.
• Media information can be downloaded onto the printer via the imagePROGRAF Media Configuration Tool provided by Canon. You can also upload custom media from the Canon printer to GMG ColorProof. For further information, please refer to the "Media Configuration Tool Guide" from Canon.
• Create job copies by the printer: Canon imagePROGRAF iPFx3x0, iPFx4x0 have an integrated hard disk. When creating a manual job with the Number of Copies feature (Manual Job Manager > Job > Printer Settings > Printer), job copies are created directly by the printer hardware. This feature greatly increases your production speed.

Job copies created by the printer are identical copies, with identical label information. The job creation time printed in the label is the point of time when the job was created in GMG ColorProof.
