Canon has introduced the all-new 24-inch large format printer. Known as the imagePROGRAF iPF6000S, this large format printer with canon ink has the ability to deliver a perfect combination of quality, speed, and versatility. Those who will benefit from this printer by Canon are print-for-pay establishments and graphic art professionals.

Canon U.S.A., Inc., the leading provider of canon copier toner, office imaging systems, as well as digital photography equipment is happy about the product launch. Jim Rosetta, the vice president as well as general manager of Imaging Systems Group, Canon said, “In an attempt to meet all the demands of print professionals, Canon has made it a top priority to maintain the highest levels of quality at increased production speeds.” He further stated, “The imagePROGRAF S-Series, including the new iPF6000S, further extends our ability to offer clients and consumers an effective, top-tier solution to meet all their printing needs.”

The iPF6000S printer can print 24-inches wide sheet and both on cut and roll sheet and at the same time, it maintains a great speed that is 30% faster than the iPF6100 printer is. The iPF6000S printer can finish printing an A1 sized print in just 4 minutes in its high-quality print mode. Thus, you will get clear photographic images at impressively high speeds as it uses microscopic four picoliter droplets and LUCIA pigment ink.

The new LUCIA pigment ink for iPF6000S includes Cyan, Magenta, Photo Cyan, Yellow, Photo Magenta, Matte Black, Gray, and Black ink. The printer uses 2 high-density print heads with 30,720 nozzles. The printer boasts of its built-in color calibration system that helps you in getting consistency and precise color reproduction. The internal 80GB hard drive of this printer allows reprinting straightaway from the hard drive. You can access the content of this hard drive through a built-in Web server by using a browser. In this way, you will be able to streamline production workflows.

The printer driver also has an Economy Color Mode that minimizes the usage of light-density inks like Photo Magenta and Photo Cyan. This reduces the overall usage of ink and retains the color density.

I recently purchased a Canon Pixma MP-210 inkjet printer to replace an Epson CX-4800. My daughters also have a Canon Pixma MP-210 and they have been extremely pleased with it, so I thought I’d follow suit and purchase one.

My daughters are photographers and have needed to print some of their work for art shows. When I saw the quality of the photographs from their Pixma, I was pleasantly shocked! The colors were bright and vivid, they were sharp and clear. Its ability to produce excellent quality photographs is what I like the best about this printer. I had the opportunity to purchase a newer Canon model but opted to purchase the MP-210 just because of the quality I’ve seen from my daughters’ printer.

I do feel that the ink is a bit more expensive than in other printers, but if it is going to give me the quality I expect, it may be well worth it. I am using it primarily for making regular copies, however, I will use it for photographs as well. It also doesn’t have an ‘enlarge’ feature. I would have liked to have had that feature on a printer.

The printer is a bit, ‘clunky’ in design, not as sleek as I would have liked to see in a printer, but if it does a good job, I can live with it. However, it is FAST and that makes up for its aesthetic flaw. I do think that it is going to fulfill my needs, especially with printing photographs.

On a scale of 1-5, I’d have to rank it as a 4. If it were sleek in design, it would have gotten a 5 rating from me.
