Canon imagePROGRAF iPF8100

Built in 80GB Hard Drive
The hard drive storage space within the iPF8100 increases productivity by relieving workload from the host PC while providing a large capacity for print job data storage and retrieval. This 80GB hard drive enables job data to be stored in protected mail boxes for easy access and printing. 

Built-in Calibration
The iPF8100 printer is equipped with the ability to recalibrate itself to the original optimal factory settings and apply any necessary adjustments across all the printer's media types. This creates a stable, predictable printing platform on which superior results can be consistently achieved. The system has built-in calibration sensors that accurately detect variation in print heads and measures the density levels of the inks and makes necessary adjustments to return calibration to the original factory settings. 

Dual Print Head System
Engineered for speed and advanced image production, the iPF8100 boasts Canon's dual print head system to lay down ink with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Unlike conventional printers with a single print head, the iPF8100 uses two high-precision, high-density print heads with a total of 30,720 nozzles. It lays down precise 4 picoliter-size ink droplets to produce sharp detail and excellent image quality. The superfine 4 picoliter-size droplets produce delicate color gradations and high-definition. The twin lines of nozzles for each color on the new print heads enable the iPF8100 to minimize the number of printing passes and still maintain print quality. The two 1-inch iPF series print heads each boast 6 colors with 2,560 nozzles per color. That's a total of 30,720 nozzles. More nozzles mean more ink is ejected with every pass of the print head, no matter what print mode or media. It gives new meaning to "high-speed output." 

L-COA Controller - New Print Controller
Like other powerful Canon systems, the iIPF8100 is built around the innovative L-COA (Large Format Pprinter Common Architecture) processor. When it comes to speed and accuracy, the L-COA processor is in a league of its own. By intelligently processing print data and directing the high- precision, high-density print heads to deposit ink, the system ensures image clarity and color accuracy, even for complex graphics and color-rich photographic images. Combined with Canon's dual print head design and the most ink nozzles per color in the industry, the L-COA controller helps achieve phenomenal print speeds. 

Print Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop and Digital Photo Professional - An export print module
These export modules allow users to directly process and print RAW image files from DPP or Adobe Photoshop. These plug-ins are export modules that bypass the operating system's dependent print driver, allowing processing of 16-bit RGB images directly, which dramatically increases gradations and as a result, overall image quality.

Printer Driver 2007
The imagePROGRAF printer driver works with both Windows and Macintosh operating systems offering exceptional, high-quality prints through easy usability and accurate color. The printer driver incorporates existing imagePROGRAF features along with new, easy- to- use functions. The monochrome photo mode produces neutral, high- quality monochrome images with the primary use of the Black, Gray and Photo Gray inks. This mode helps to ensure minimal shifts in color that are commonly caused by the use of color inks in black and white prints, thus outputting neutral tones with smooth gradation. Another easy- to- use feature is the free layout feature2, which allows for custom nesting of separate images and documents.

Features:
Web links (Support tab) - An html-based utility that provides access to websites through the printer driver
Categorized media list - media names are organized in a hierarchical tree structure
More detailed page preview - provides a more clearer and more intuitive preview
Scan to Copy - imageRUNNER enlargement copy
14 preset document profiles (examples are Poster, CAD, Photo)
Automatic print quality options dependent on print application and media
