Further Information

The imagePROGRAF iPF500 is a 5-colour dye / pigment ink 17” A2 large format printer, bringing vivid colour and 1200 dpi rendering with outstanding line reproduction, solid image consistency and high quality text reproduction.

Optimal image quality and productivity

The iPF500 incorporates Canon’s 5-colour dye-and-pigment ink system for optimal results in your business. The Canon 1” print-head gives reproduction of 1200 dpi, a 4 pl droplet size and an impressive total of 15,360 nozzles. The five-colour reactive ink system enhances the quality of prints by ensuring that there is less bleeding and solid image consistency, therefore delivering output that retains more accuracy and sharpness – however detailed.

Moreover, the iPF500 has two types of black ink – photo black and matte black (MBK) – which extends the range of media that the device can print onto, including glossy and matte paper. Additionally, with two matte black channels, ink capacity has doubled and speed has been increased due to the enlarged swathe. This means that productivity has escalated dramatically whilst maintaining the quality and consistency of the black ink at high speed – critical in CAD applications where speed and accuracy are paramount.

Ideal for CAD/GIS or general office use

The imagePROGRAF iPF500 has been specifically designed for the CAD and general use markets. Using a range of industry-leading technologies, you can work with a wide variety of media types. Plain paper, CAD, recycled, glossy, proofing, synthetic, poster, fine art, sign media – they’re all handled effortlessly with the iPF500.

Productive performance

Connection is either via the latest-generation, high-speed USB 2.0 interface, or Ethernet. Simple desktop set-up means you’ll be up and running with the iPF500 in no time. A comprehensive set of software application plug-ins are incorporated with the iPF500 including an HDI Driver for the CAD/GIS market. The integrated cutting device won’t let you down either and keeps on performing for years to come, without ever needing replacement.

Capable and easy-to-use

Although very compact in design the iPF500 also incorporates 4 media paths – a roll, cassette and two manual - and automatic switching of roll media for additional convenience. In fact the cassette media-feeding system enables new sheets to be fed prior to the previous sheet being ejected, so the device is perfectly at home when used as a powerful colour office printer. And unlike some large format devices, it’s compact and quiet – so it’s the output not the noise that gets you noticed.

What’s more the new system actually cuts down the amount of ink required and this, coupled with an early ink detection feature, ensures that consumable costs are cut to a minimum making an analysis of lifetime costs with Canon compare favourably with others in the market.

It’s not just what’s in the box that makes the difference though, apart from superior technology, Canon is well known in the printing sector for quality of service and maintenance. The plotter is an essential tool for your business so with a new machine and our quick response times mean you can have a print solution at the ready whenever you need it and benefit from better quality and productivity today.
