Canon U.S.A. today announced two new large format printers – the 44-inch imagePROGRAF iPF8300S and 24-inch imagePROGRAF iPF6300S. These two 8-color large format printers feature similar technology found in the award-winning 12-color iPF8300, iPF6350 and iPF6300 printers, including Canon’s LUCIA EX ink set. With Canon LUCIA EX pigment ink, professionals can achieve high quality and performance in such printing applications as color or monochrome photography, industrial design and high-quality poster production. The Canon iPF8300S can produce a B0-sized (39.37″ x 55.67″) output in approximately 80 seconds while the Canon iPF6300S can deliver an A1-sized (23.39″ x 33.11″) document in roughly 35 seconds. The new Canon S-series printers have doubled their hard drive capacity compared to earlier models now with 160 GB, making it possible to reprint the required number of copies at any time with or without a computer.
